Cadence is an iOS app dedicated to managing your subscription expenses. It’s perfect for keeping track of app memberships, cloud services, software utilities, streaming platforms, games, education, and other recurring fixed costs. For each subscription, you can log the amount, currency, billing cycle, renewal date, category, payment method, and reminder preferences. Cadence organizes this information into a clean monthly overview, letting you know exactly how much you need to pay this month, when your next charge will happen, and which subscriptions are eating up your budget. [Key Features] • Subscription Management: Easily add, edit, or delete recurring items. • Multi-Currency Support: Convert and view expenses across CNY, USD, EUR, JPY, KRW, and more. • Renewal Reminders: Get notified before you get charged to avoid unwanted automatic renewals. • Category Management: Group and view spending by Streaming, Music, AI Tools, Productivity, Cloud Storage, and more. • Payment Methods: Keep track of how you pay to easily verify bank or card statements. • Home Screen Widgets: Quickly glance at upcoming charges and fixed expenses. • Pro Analytics: Access category breakdowns, monthly trends, renewal calendars, and expense forecasting. • Pro iCloud Sync: Keep your subscription data in sync across all your Apple devices. • Import & Export: Back up and restore your subscription configurations via JSON files. By default, Cadence stores your subscription data locally on your device. Once Pro iCloud Sync is enabled, your data is securely saved to your personal iCloud container for multi-device synchronization. Cadence requires no account registration and never uploads your subscription records to private servers. Cadence Pro is available as a one-time lifetime purchase. Unlock advanced features including deep analytics, expense forecasting, Home Screen & widget calendars, iCloud multi-device sync, and seamless data import/export.
