SubTrack is the private way to manage subscriptions, track your bills, and stop paying for things you forgot you signed up for. Every recurring payment in one organizer — with a reminder before each renewal. Add Netflix, Spotify, iCloud, ChatGPT, your gym, your VPN, insurance — anything you pay for on a schedule — and SubTrack turns it into one clear picture of your monthly spending. SEE WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SPEND • One dashboard total for monthly and yearly cost, updated as you add. • A monthly breakdown showing what each subscription really costs per month — weekly, quarterly, and yearly plans all normalized to the same number. • Upcoming renewals sorted by due date, so the calendar ahead never surprises you. NEVER MISS A RENEWAL • Local reminders before you're charged: "Netflix renews in 3 days — $15.49 will be charged on March 12." • Pick how many days ahead you want the alert, and what time of day it arrives. • No account and no bank access needed — the reminders run entirely on your iPhone. ADD A SUBSCRIPTION IN SECONDS • A built-in catalog of popular services across streaming, music, cloud and software, AI, VPN, health and fitness, and gaming — with logos and typical prices, so you rarely type from scratch. • Or build your own: name, price, billing cycle, first bill date, color, and icon. ANY CURRENCY, ONE HONEST TOTAL Each subscription keeps its own currency. Your dashboard converts everything into your display currency using daily exchange rates, so the total is always money you recognize. CANCEL WHAT YOU DON'T USE Once every recurring cost sits side by side, the ones worth unsubscribing from become obvious. SubTrack won't cancel anything for you and never connects to your bank — it just makes sure nothing recurring stays invisible. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No bank linking. No ads. No tracking. Everything you enter is stored only on your device — we don't run a server, so there's nothing to leak and nothing to sell. The only network request SubTrack ever makes is an anonymous daily exchange-rate lookup. You can export your subscriptions to a file whenever you like and import them back later, so your data is portable instead of locked in. BUILT FOR IPHONE Light and dark themes, smooth animations, and haptics throughout. Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, and Russian. 100% FREE No paywall, no subscription just to track subscriptions, and no limit on how many you add. Take back control of your recurring spending — download SubTrack.
