Import your Apple subscriptions from a screenshot and see every recurring bill in one place. Get a reminder before each renewal, and follow step-by-step guides whenever you decide to cancel. Free trials turn into paid plans, yearly plans renew long after you've stopped thinking about them, and small monthly charges add up. SubTracker brings every one of them into one list, built from what you add or import. SCREENSHOT IMPORT Take a screenshot of your Apple Subscriptions screen (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). SubTracker reads each service, price and renewal date right on your iPhone, leaves anything you already track unticked, and adds the ones you choose. BUILT FROM WHAT YOU ADD SubTracker works from the subscriptions you add or import. Your bank login and transaction history remain yours, and your list lives on your device, with iCloud sync across your iPhone, iPad and Mac. EVERY KIND OF PLAN Weekly, monthly, quarterly, six-month and yearly plans, plus free trials with their own end date. Keep Netflix, Spotify, iCloud, gym memberships, software licenses, hosting and every other recurring payment in one clear dashboard. REMINDERS ON YOUR SCHEDULE New subscriptions get a reminder a week ahead and the day before. Change them any time, from the day itself up to 30 days ahead, at the time of day you choose. Catch a yearly renewal before it charges. SPENDING AT A GLANCE See your total monthly and yearly spend and how it splits across categories, spot subscriptions you forgot about, and keep the ones you really use. Total spent shows what each subscription has cost you so far, and price changes keep their history: past months stay at the price you actually paid. RENEWAL CALENDAR With Pro, a built-in calendar shows every upcoming payment. Tap any day to see exactly what renews on it. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app, kept current through iCloud, shows this month's total and your next charge at a glance, with a complication for your watch face and the Smart Stack. QUICK START Pick from 100+ ready-made templates (Netflix, Spotify, YouTube Premium, Adobe, iCloud, Peloton and more) or import subscriptions from a screenshot of your Apple Subscriptions screen. Adding a subscription from a template is quick. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Give every subscription a category, sort by price, renewal date or name, and search your list in a tap. Keep your data safe with full backup and restore, and move it anywhere with CSV export and import (Pro). CANCEL WITH CONFIDENCE Step-by-step cancel guides for App Store and website subscriptions, ready-to-send email templates for support requests, and an Evidence Vault that keeps screenshots and emails as proof of cancellation. YOUR DATA, IN YOUR ICLOUD Open SubTracker and start adding subscriptions right away, with nothing to sign up for. Your subscription list is stored on your devices and syncs through your own private iCloud account, which we cannot read. With Advanced Data Protection turned on in iCloud, the sync is end-to-end encrypted. AVAILABLE IN 14 LANGUAGES English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Hindi, Bengali, Arabic, Russian and Turkish. PRICING Track up to 3 subscriptions for free, including screenshot import, reminders, cancel guides and iCloud sync. SubTracker Pro unlocks unlimited tracking, the renewal calendar, and CSV export and import for $1.99/month, $14.99/year, or $49.00 once for lifetime access, and supports ongoing development. The monthly and yearly plans start with a 1-week free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, or at the end of your free trial if you start with one. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Made by byAlif, an independent app studio.
