Find every subscription in seconds. Subly turns three quick taps into a complete picture of what you pay for each month — and what is renewing next. Three rails to add a subscription - Apple auto-detect. If you've subscribed to anything from inside Subly, StoreKit imports it instantly with the correct price and renewal date. (Subscriptions purchased in other apps stay invisible to iOS — that's why we built the screenshot rail.) - Screenshot scan. Photograph any line in your bank or wallet app. Subly's AI extracts the merchant, amount, and billing cycle in seconds. The image is processed once and immediately discarded — never stored on a server. - Manual entry. Pick from a built-in catalog of 5,000+ services — Netflix, gym memberships, news outlets, SaaS tools — and type in the price. Done in seconds. Your Home screen, finally honest - Every subscription on one list with the next renewal date and exact amount. - Monthly and yearly totals rendered in tabular numerals, so the "$9.99 here, $4.99 there" math finally adds up. - Currency-correct prices in 12 languages — euros, pounds, yen, riyals, rupees — all rendered natively for your locale. - Per-service renewal countdowns, so the next charge is never a surprise. Renewal reminders on your terms Local notifications fire before each renewal. You choose the lead time — 24 hours, 3 days, or a week — per subscription or set a global default. Built on UNUserNotificationCenter; no push server, no account required. How to cancel — guides, not gimmicks Subly shows you exactly how to cancel each service. App Store subscriptions deep-link straight into Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Non-Apple services come with paste-able, step-by-step instructions copied from the merchant's actual cancellation flow. You decide; Subly walks you through. Subly does not contact merchants on your behalf and does not pretend to. Privacy — local-first by design Your subscription data lives on your iPhone. There is no Subly cloud database holding your records. The screenshot OCR backend processes one image and forgets it — no logs, no copies, no training data. No analytics SDKs, no email capture, no advertising IDs. Pricing - Yearly Pro with a 3-day free trial. Best value. - Weekly Pro. Pay as you go. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Auto-renewing subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Available in 12 languages. iOS 18+.
