Reminders that actually fire — before every renewal, not after. No bank link. No account. No trap. One honest list of your subscriptions, and alerts before free trials turn into bills. WHAT YOU GET FREE • Up to 5 subscriptions with renewal reminders (you choose: same day, 1, 3 or 7 days before) • Free-trial alerts — twice, so a trial never quietly becomes a charge • Monthly and yearly totals, also by category • CSV export of everything, any time. No lock-in, ever. PRO — ONLY IF YOU WANT MORE Unlimited subscriptions. Pay once (lifetime) or yearly. That is the whole difference. What is free stays free. No trial tricks, no surprise charges — cancel in Settings any time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. Your subscriptions stay on your device — we never see them. We do count anonymous app usage (which screens are opened, whether the price screen was shown) to know what to fix. No name, no account, nothing you typed. Turn it off in one tap in Settings. English, Deutsch, Русский. SUBSCRIPTION SubBell Pro Yearly — one year, auto-renewing. The price is shown on this page and in the purchase sheet. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
