Subby tracks every subscription and bill you pay, reminds you before each one renews, and shows where your money goes. No bank login, no account. Home shows this month's total, what is paid and what is still to come. Insights, free for everyone, shows which prices crept up, what the next year will cost and what cancelling saved. You add each subscription yourself, from 600+ brands with logos built in, and your list stays on your iPhone. ONE CLEAR TOTAL This month's total, what it costs you a day, what is paid, what is still to come and the change against last month. A trial about to end, an overdue charge or a price that does not match shows up first, with a one-tap fix like Mark all paid or Keep it. REMINDED BEFORE YOU PAY One heads up per charge, at the hour you pick, marked paid from the notification. Unpaid? Subby keeps reminding you for up to a week, so a forgotten trial does not quietly become a yearly charge. WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES • Overview: what you are committed to each month, what is left of your budget before payday, and the split by category or payment method. • Trends: price creep against a year ago with the services that moved, the months ahead, the next year added up against the last, and every renewal, day by day. • Services: what each one has cost you so far, and Wins, what cancelling and pausing saved. • Signals: a price rise to review, missed months, a double charge, stale rates. Export your payment history as a CSV file. KNOW WHEN A TRIAL ENDS Add a trial with the price it becomes. Subby leaves it out of your total until it converts and reminds you before the first charge. PAYDAY AND BUDGET Set your payday and a monthly budget. Home then counts your pay period, and Insights shows what renews before the money lands. WIDGETS AND CONTROLS See what is due next on the Lock Screen and in Control Center, and mark payments paid from Home Screen widgets. All part of PRO. SIRI AND SPOTLIGHT Ask Siri what is due this week or when a subscription renews, and find any subscription in Spotlight. Free for everyone. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Unfold iPhone Duo and Home, Insights and Subscriptions open in two panes that meet at the fold. Closed, you get the phone layout. EVERY CYCLE, 46 CURRENCIES Weekly, every two or four weeks, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly, or a custom cycle up to every three years. 46 currencies with up-to-date exchange rates, all in one total. ALSO IN SUBBY • A light theme or a true black dark mode, with Liquid Glass where your iPhone has it, or Material if you prefer. • Automatic backups to iCloud or your own Google Drive (PRO). • Add from a screenshot of a bill or confirmation email, checked by you before it is saved (PRO). • Your choice of language inside the app, whatever your iPhone is set to. PRO IS ONE PAYMENT Subby is free with ads, Insights included. PRO is a single one-time purchase, not a subscription. It removes the ads and unlocks the widgets, cloud backup, screenshot import and icon requests. The free app has no cap on subscriptions, and Restore Purchases brings PRO to your other Apple devices. PRIVACY No account, no sign in, no bank connection. Subby knows what you tell it, nothing more. Your list lives on your device, and backups go only to storage you already own.
