Know what your bills and subscriptions actually cost. Most people underestimate what leaves their account each month. KeepTabs adds it all up โ€” streaming, broadband, insurance, the gym, that trial you meant to cancel โ€” and shows you one honest number. See the real total Every bill and subscription in one place, with the true annual cost and what that works out at per day, week and month. Switch between monthly and yearly on any screen. Never get caught by a trial again Free trials are where the money goes quietly. KeepTabs tracks when each one ends, warns you early and again on the day, and shows exactly what you'll be charged if you do nothing. It can't cancel for you โ€” no app can โ€” but it makes sure you know in time. Know what's left to spend Type in what's actually in your account and KeepTabs works out what's safe to spend before your next payday, after everything still due comes out. Per day and per week, recalculating as the days pass โ€” on the home screen, in a widget, and on your watch. Budget by payday, not by calendar month Tell KeepTabs when you're paid โ€” daily, weekly, four-weekly or monthly, from more than one source if you have them โ€” and see exactly what's still due before your next payday. Most people budget from payday to payday, not from the 1st to the 31st. See what it's really cost you Tell KeepTabs when you signed up and it adds up everything you've paid since โ€” at the price it was at the time. Record a price rise and it remembers: "up from ยฃ5.99, three rises since you joined". Most people have no idea. Still worth it? KeepTabs asks you to look again at things you've been paying for a while, so something you stopped using doesn't quietly renew for another year. See what's coming A calendar of every payment, and a timeline of the months ahead. Annual renewals show up as the spikes they are, instead of hiding inside a monthly average. On your home screen and your wrist Widgets for the home screen, lock screen and StandBy. An Apple Watch app and complication showing your total, what's left to spend, and what's due next. Contracts and price rises Record when a minimum term ends and get a reminder a month ahead, while there's still time to switch. Know a price is going up? Enter it, and every forecast accounts for it. Private by design No account. No sign-up. No analytics. No ads. Your data stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud โ€” the developer can't see it. KeepTabs never asks for your bank details. Free Track up to five bills or subscriptions, with the full calendar, pay-period tracking, what's left to spend, trial tracking, price history, renewal reminders, widgets, the Apple Watch app, iCloud sync, currency conversion and Siri shortcuts included.
