Can you say exactly how much you spend on subscriptions each month? "I didn't realise it added up to hundreds a year." "They kept charging me for something I'd stopped using." SubscSmart makes those invisible costs visible — and helps you keep only what you actually need. ■ Who it's for • You have several subscriptions and no clear idea of your monthly total • You meant to cancel something, but never got round to it • A full budgeting app feels like overkill — you just want your subs tidy • You want renewal dates in view so you never miss the moment to cancel ■ Key features • "Are you actually using this?" diagnosis: four simple rules weigh how satisfied you are against how often you use each service, then flag the ones worth cancelling — so the decision is made for you. • Payment calendar: see exactly what gets charged, and when, before the money leaves your account. • Home widgets: monthly total, yearly projection, subscription count and daily cost, right on your home screen. • Renewal notifications: a reminder three days before, and again on renewal day, so the cancellation window never slips past. • Category breakdown chart: see where it all goes across Entertainment, Work, Education, Health and more. • Fast to set up: add from 176 templates with a single tap, or enter your own. Monthly, yearly and one-time costs are all converted to a monthly figure automatically. Optional Google Calendar sync. Dark and light modes, plus 12 theme colours. ■ Pro Plan Free includes up to 8 subscriptions and 1 diagnosis (lifetime). Pro unlocks: • Unlimited subscriptions • Unlimited diagnoses • CSV / JSON export for backup • Custom image icons Pricing is shown in the app and set through the App Store, so it's always in your local currency. Available as a small monthly plan or a one-time purchase with nothing to renew. ■ Privacy first • Your subscription data stays on your device. It is never sent to an external server. • Zero ads, and no tracking when you open the app. • Only a service name and domain are sent when fetching a brand's logo — nothing more. • Purchases are handled securely through your Apple ID. Because this app holds something as personal as your spending, we built it around one rule: we don't take your data. That came first, before any feature. ■ Support Have a question or found a bug? Tap Settings → "Send Feedback" inside the app. ■ Terms & Privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://ryusei04-beep.github.io/subscsmart-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://ryusei04-beep.github.io/subscsmart-legal/privacy.html
