Your subscriptions live on your home screen now. SubTrack'd is the subscription tracker designed for your iPhone's home screen — not buried in an app you'll forget to open. Add your subscriptions manually, place a widget, and always know exactly what you're spending. No bank account linking. No cloud sign-up. Just you, your data, and a clean widget you'll actually look at. WIDGET-FIRST DESIGN Other trackers make you open an app. SubTrack'd puts your spending right on your home screen, lock screen, and StandBy display. Glance at your phone and instantly see what's due this week and how much you're spending per month. Medium, small, and lock screen widgets are all included — even on the free tier. PRIVACY BY DESIGN SubTrack'd never asks for your bank account, email, or any personal information. Your subscription data stays on your device. Period. No accounts to create. No data to sync to someone else's server. If you chose Bobby over Rocket Money because you value privacy, SubTrack'd is your upgrade. WHAT YOU GET — FREE - Track up to 5 subscriptions with full detail - Home screen widgets (small + medium) - Lock screen widgets (circular + rectangular) - StandBy widget for nightstand mode - Dashboard with monthly and yearly spend totals - Upcoming renewal alerts at a glance - Choose from preset icons and colors for each subscription - Dark Mode support throughout - Renewal notifications (day-of and 1 day before) WHAT YOU GET — SUBTRACK'D PRO ($5.99, one-time purchase) - Unlimited subscriptions — no cap, ever - Spending breakdown by category with beautiful charts - Export your data as CSV or JSON - Custom notification timing (3 days before, 1 week before) - Custom icons and colors beyond the preset palette - Support an independent developer — no subscription fee, no irony BUILT FOR iOS SubTrack'd is built with SwiftUI and designed from the ground up for the latest version of iOS. It uses Liquid Glass design language, smooth animations, haptic feedback, and SF Symbols throughout. It looks and feels like it belongs on your iPhone because it was built exclusively for it. WHY NOT JUST USE ROCKET MONEY? Rocket Money is great — if you're comfortable giving a company full access to your bank accounts. If you're not, you've been stuck with apps that haven't been updated in years. SubTrack'd fills that gap: modern design, powerful widgets, and complete privacy. No bank account required. Ever. A NOTE ON PRICING We think charging a monthly subscription to track your subscriptions is a little ironic. SubTrack'd Pro is a one-time purchase of $5.99. Pay once, unlock everything, and never think about it again.
