About

SubTrack

SubTrack keeps every subscription and recurring bill in one clean list, so you always know what's coming out of your account and when. BILLS & CONTRACTS — BUILT FOR NORWAY Beyond streaming apps, SubTrack tracks recurring bills and fixed-term contracts — mobile, electricity (strøm), broadband, insurance, and gym memberships. Flag a contract's lock-in period (bindingstid) and SubTrack reminds you before you can switch or cancel without a fee. Record a campaign or introductory price and get alerted before it jumps, so a silent price hike never catches you out. The dashboard highlights which contracts are coming out of binding soon and which prices are about to rise. WHAT YOU TRACK Add any subscription or bill with a name, cost, currency, billing cycle (weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, or a custom interval), category, and next renewal date. Assign an icon and colour so each row is instantly recognisable. Mark free trials and get alerted before they convert to paid. DASHBOARD & INSIGHTS Your home screen shows your total monthly spend and a spending chart (Swift Charts). The Insights section surfaces your daily average spend, the charges due in the next 7 days, and your most expensive subscription. MULTI-CURRENCY Every subscription keeps its own currency. SubTrack fetches live exchange rates and converts all displayed prices into one display currency of your choice. When you're offline, a built-in fallback table keeps the numbers sensible. REMINDERS Local notifications alert you before a subscription renews or a free trial ends — directly from your device, with no server involved. A friendly pre-permission prompt explains why notifications are useful before iOS asks. QUICK ADD A built-in service catalogue lets you add common services in a tap. Search and sort your list however you like. IMPORT Point your camera at a subscription receipt or confirmation email screenshot — on-device Vision OCR reads the service name and renewal date automatically. You can also import from a PDF or other document. Understands both English and Norwegian date formats. WIDGETS Home Screen widgets (small and medium) show your monthly spend and next renewal at a glance. Lock Screen widgets (rectangular, inline, and circular) keep the number in view without unlocking. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you enter is stored only on your device. SubTrack makes a single network call to fetch public exchange rates; it never uploads your data, never tracks you, and requires no account or login. SUBTRACK PRO SubTrack Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly) that unlocks: • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Free-trial-ending notifications • CSV data export • Unlimited subscriptions (the free tier includes a generous number to get started) Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel at any time in your Apple ID settings.
