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.

Subscription Manager
Read full descriptionHide full description
Know what your subscriptions cost before the next bill arrives. Keep recurring payments, renewal dates and your share of household plans in one private subscription manager, without connecting a bank account. START WITH ONE SUBSCRIPTION Choose a familiar service from searchable presets, check the amount and save. Available price suggestions identify the plan and country; you can edit them to match your own bill, including tax. Add any other service with a name, amount and billing cycle. Currency choices are remembered, and optional details stay out of the way until you need them. Don't know the next renewal date? Add the subscription anyway. It counts toward your spending, while date-based reminders and forecasts wait until you supply a real date. There is no invented payment schedule to correct later. SEE MONTHLY AND YEARLY COSTS Track streaming, music, software, cloud storage, gym memberships and other recurring bills. Weekly, monthly, annual and custom-day payments are normalized into useful spending totals. Sort by cost, renewal or name to find an expensive plan or an approaching bill. For shared subscriptions, record an equal split or your personal amount so your budget reflects your share. PLAN RENEWALS AND TRIAL ENDINGS Add known billing dates to see upcoming charges and a renewal calendar. Set local reminders before payment is due, subject to your device's notification permission and settings. Record a service's free-trial end date separately from its paid cycle. These are trials you track from other services; this app does not start or cancel them for you. TRY A CHANGE BEFORE COMMITTING Preview keeping, pausing or cancelling one subscription and see the estimated effect on monthly and annual spending. The what-if comparison leaves your saved bills and reminders unchanged. Amounts remain separated by currency. Pausing assumes no charges for a full year; estimates do not include refunds or promise savings. Considering an annual plan? Enter the actual annual offer and compare it with twelve monthly payments. See whether it costs less, the same or more. No assumed discount is presented as a real offer. Compare several subscriptions, combine what-if changes and inspect upfront cost and monthly equivalents. KEEP YOUR LIST USEFUL Update a price when your provider changes it, add a payment-method label, and review which services you still use. Archive paused or cancelled subscriptions without deleting their history, then restore them when needed. Cancellation guidance and manage links help you find the right provider page; you must complete any cancellation with the provider. Recording a change here does not stop a charge. PRIVATE, MANUAL AND UNDER YOUR CONTROL Your subscription list is stored on your device. No bank login, registration or automatic transaction scanning is required. Core tracking works offline. Store purchases, optional currency-rate updates and external manage links need a connection. You choose when to share or export data. Use backup export to keep your own copy; this is not an automatic cloud-sync service. MAKE RECURRING BILLS EASIER TO REVIEW Group subscriptions with custom categories and payment-method labels. Explore spending by category or payment label, then export a CSV for your own spreadsheet. Keep a separate backup for recovery when you need it. A clear list makes it easier to spot overlapping services, check a price change and decide which plans still deserve a place in your budget. Build a routine around the information you actually know: record the amount, check upcoming renewals and revisit your comparisons when an offer changes. Track personal subscriptions or your share of household plans in one organized place. Less repetitive entry, clearer recurring expenses and no ads.
