SubBar helps you catch recurring costs before they become surprises. Track subscriptions, bills, trials, memberships, software renewals, and everyday recurring expenses in one calm place. Add a service from the built-in catalog or create a custom subscription, then set the amount, currency, billing cycle, category, notes, and renewal reminders. Why people use SubBar: β€’ See monthly burn and this month's charges β€’ Know what renews next before it hits β€’ Add from a catalog of 600+ services β€’ Track streaming, cloud, software, creator tools, memberships, trials, and custom bills β€’ Organize subscriptions with categories and notes β€’ Get local renewal reminders β€’ Sync privately with iCloud when enabled β€’ Export CSV when you need a spreadsheet-friendly view β€’ No bank login, email scanning, or SubBar account required Private by design: SubBar is local-first. Your subscription data stays on your device and can sync through your private iCloud database when you choose to use iCloud. You enter only what you want to track. Built for real recurring costs: Monthly subscriptions, annual renewals, free trials, SaaS tools, design apps, developer services, newsletters, storage plans, memberships, family bills, and custom recurring payments all fit. SubBar is not another subscription to track your subscriptions. Start with the free tier, then unlock optional one-time packs if you need more slots, categories, privacy controls, visual customization, or export tools. --------- This app uses Apple's standard Terms of Use (EULA).

Monivera turns your bank's transaction emails and SMS notifications into a live budget. Logged automatically, categorized for you, and shared with your household. All your finances, one clear view. Logging is the reason budgets die, so we deleted it. Hook Monivera up to your bank's notifications once, and every card swipe logs itself before you have put your phone back in your pocket. No bank credentials. No typing. No spreadsheets. FEATURES β€’ Automatic logging from your bank's email and SMS notifications β€’ A live budget that categorizes itself β€’ Bank notifications from different banks, all in one place β€’ Shared household budgets for up to 10 people β€’ 150 currencies, converted to your home currency automatically β€’ AI rules to mark recurring merchants and transfers β€’ Tags and search in any language Built out of necessity by a solo developer who wanted one app that showed every account at once. SUBSCRIPTION Monivera Pro is available as an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
