SubHelm helps you see every subscription you pay for, what it costs you each month, and what's about to renew — so a forgotten free trial never becomes a surprise charge. It's built for people who've lost count: anyone juggling streaming, software and AI subscriptions, freelancers keeping work and personal spending apart, and households sharing plans across a family. SET UP IN UNDER A MINUTE Pick from a catalogue of 200+ popular services, scan a receipt, or import a bank statement. SubHelm fills in the price and the renewal date, so you're not typing everything in by hand. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY PAYING See one real monthly total, converted into your own currency, with a breakdown of where the money goes by category. A six-month forecast shows you which months spike — so the annual renewal you'd forgotten about doesn't land as a shock. NEVER GET CHARGED BY SURPRISE Get a reminder days before every renewal, and before each free trial converts to a paid plan. See the whole month laid out in a calendar, and check what's charging next from your Home Screen or Lock Screen without opening the app. CANCEL BEFORE THEY CHARGE YOU When you want out, SubHelm walks you through cancelling that particular service step by step, links you straight to the right page, and stops the reminders once it's done. ASK ABOUT YOUR OWN SPENDING A built-in assistant answers questions about your subscriptions, entirely on your device: • "How much do I spend per year?" • "What's my most expensive subscription?" • "What renews in the next 7 days?" • "Where could I cut back?" ALSO INCLUDED • Profiles — keep personal and work subscriptions apart. • Price-change tracking — spot it when a service quietly puts its price up. • Monthly recap — a summary of what you spent and what changed. • iCloud sync — your subscriptions on all your devices, privately. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No ads, no tracking, and no bank login required. Receipts are read on your device and never uploaded. Your subscriptions stay on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud — we can't see them. Take control of your recurring spending with SubHelm.
