About

Subscription Tracker

Features
Read full description

Pebble is a private subscription tracker for people who want to know exactly what renews next without giving a finance app access to their bank. Track streaming plans, apps, software tools, cloud storage, memberships, free trials, and recurring bills in one calm dashboard. Add a subscription manually in seconds, choose the billing cycle, set the next renewal date, attach the payment method, save cancellation notes, and let Pebble show the real monthly and yearly cost. Magic Import helps you move faster: scan a subscription screenshot and review detected subscriptions before adding them. Pebble also supports service templates, custom categories, multiple currencies, logo search, and clear spending insights so your subscription list stays readable instead of turning into another messy budget app. Stay ahead of charges: - See upcoming renewals and trial endings - Get local reminders before money leaves - Check a calendar of future payments - View monthly and yearly totals - Organize subscriptions by category - Use Home Screen widgets for next renewals - Sync with iCloud across Apple devices - Export your list to CSV when needed Pebble is built for manual tracking, privacy, and simple control. It does not require bank login, Plaid, open banking, bill negotiation, or cancellation concierge access. Free users can track a small list. Unlock once for unlimited tracking, Magic Import, multiple reminders, iCloud sync, widgets, logo search, custom categories, multi-currency, CSV export, and insights. No recurring plan.
