Subscription Tracker

Read full description

Pebble is a private subscription tracker for people who want to know exactly what renews next without giving a finance app access to their bank. Track streaming plans, apps, software tools, cloud storage, memberships, free trials, and recurring bills in one calm dashboard. Add a subscription manually in seconds, choose the billing cycle, set the next renewal date, attach the payment method, save cancellation notes, and let Pebble show the real monthly and yearly cost. Magic Import helps you move faster: scan a subscription screenshot and review detected subscriptions before adding them. Pebble also supports service templates, custom categories, multiple currencies, logo search, and clear spending insights so your subscription list stays readable instead of turning into another messy budget app. Stay ahead of charges: - See upcoming renewals and trial endings - Get local reminders before money leaves - Check a calendar of future payments - View monthly and yearly totals - Organize subscriptions by category - Use Home Screen widgets for next renewals - Sync with iCloud across Apple devices - Export your list to CSV when needed Pebble is built for manual tracking, privacy, and simple control. It does not require bank login, Plaid, open banking, bill negotiation, or cancellation concierge access. Free users can track a small list. Unlock once for unlimited tracking, Magic Import, multiple reminders, iCloud sync, widgets, logo search, custom categories, multi-currency, CSV export, and insights. No recurring plan.

SubHelm helps you see every subscription you pay for, what it costs you each month, and what's about to renew โ€” so a forgotten free trial never becomes a surprise charge. It's built for people who've lost count: anyone juggling streaming, software and AI subscriptions, freelancers keeping work and personal spending apart, and households sharing plans across a family. SET UP IN UNDER A MINUTE Pick from a catalogue of 200+ popular services, scan a receipt, or import a bank statement. SubHelm fills in the price and the renewal date, so you're not typing everything in by hand. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY PAYING See one real monthly total, converted into your own currency, with a breakdown of where the money goes by category. A six-month forecast shows you which months spike โ€” so the annual renewal you'd forgotten about doesn't land as a shock. NEVER GET CHARGED BY SURPRISE Get a reminder days before every renewal, and before each free trial converts to a paid plan. See the whole month laid out in a calendar, and check what's charging next from your Home Screen or Lock Screen without opening the app. CANCEL BEFORE THEY CHARGE YOU When you want out, SubHelm walks you through cancelling that particular service step by step, links you straight to the right page, and stops the reminders once it's done. ASK ABOUT YOUR OWN SPENDING A built-in assistant answers questions about your subscriptions, entirely on your device: โ€ข "How much do I spend per year?" โ€ข "What's my most expensive subscription?" โ€ข "What renews in the next 7 days?" โ€ข "Where could I cut back?" ALSO INCLUDED โ€ข Profiles โ€” keep personal and work subscriptions apart. โ€ข Price-change tracking โ€” spot it when a service quietly puts its price up. โ€ข Monthly recap โ€” a summary of what you spent and what changed. โ€ข iCloud sync โ€” your subscriptions on all your devices, privately. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No ads, no tracking, and no bank login required. Receipts are read on your device and never uploaded. Your subscriptions stay on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud โ€” we can't see them. Take control of your recurring spending with SubHelm.
