RETHINK RECURRING SPENDING Review category breakdowns, monthly and yearly equivalents, upcoming charges and trial endings. Figures are estimates based on your current entries, not a record of past transactions. FIND AND EDIT QUICKLY Search by service name or notes. Filter by category or payment method, sort entries, and manage multiple records together. Change your payment method or amount without changing unrelated dates. KEEP YOUR DATA ON YOUR DEVICE No account or bank, card or email connection is required. No ads or tracking. Export a backup and restore it on a new device. Backup files do not include custom image data. Supports light and dark themes, multiple currencies, and optional reference exchange-rate updates. Home Screen widgets show your monthly equivalent and next bill on iOS 17 or later. This is a manual tracker. Enter your own payment information and confirm any catalog prices against your actual contract. Cancelling a service or stopping its renewal must be done with the provider. Deleting an entry only removes the in-app record. Trial expiry does not automatically change an entry's status or billing date. Service names and logos belong to their respective owners and are displayed for identification. Support: https://sabusuku.enworks.work/support.html

Rent, card bills, insurance, subscriptions — do you know which account each one comes out of, and when? Hikiotoshi shows every upcoming debit by date, amount, and account, so you can set money aside before payday — not after a bounced payment. No ads. No account. Your data stays on your device. ■ See what each account needs this month • Add card bills and direct debits, plus recurring payments like rent • Each account shows how much still needs to be there • A calendar shows the debit total for every day ■ Mark it funded — and hear about anything new • Tap an account to mark it “Funded” once the money is in • If a new bill lands after that, it shows “+$65.00 after funding” and sends a notification • Optional reminders a few days before each debit ■ Yen and dollars, together • Accounts and payments can be in dollars (USD) or yen (JPY) • Mixed totals are converted with an exchange rate you set (Pro updates it automatically) ■ Price went up? Your history stays • Change a recurring payment “from the next payment” and past months keep the old amount • Pausing a payment keeps its past debits on record ■ A little guide • A friendly character tells you what to do next — or turn it off in Settings • Dark Mode, Face ID app lock, and backup & restore for moving to a new iPhone ■ Widgets for your Home and Lock Screen • See the days until your next debit and how each account stands, without opening the app • Tap the button on a widget to mark an account funded • Amounts on the Lock Screen are hidden by default ■ Made for iPhone Duo, ready for AI • Open iPhone Duo and the calendar shows this month and next side by side. Tap a day to see its debits on the other page • Copy your bills in a format you can paste into an AI chat (current subscriptions and this month’s payments). Card and account names can be hidden ■ Pro (one-time purchase) • Duplicate past payments to save typing • Monthly check: this month’s total, change from last month, and accounts not funded yet • 12-month outlook with a chart • CSV export • Copy for AI, all ranges: past history, custom dates, upcoming months, and memos • Automatic exchange rate updates ■ Themes (one-time purchase, sold separately) • Five extra looks: Graphite, Sakura, Ledger, Terminal, Mono Exchange rates are estimates and may differ from your card issuer’s rate and fees.

Verdict
