Subly keeps every subscription and recurring bill in one calm list, with one monthly total and a reminder before each renewal. No bank or card linking: you add what you pay, and it stays on your device. HOW IT WORKS Add a subscription by hand or pick it from the catalog of known services and the logo tile fills itself in. Set the amount, currency, how often it renews (weekly, monthly, yearly or custom), the next payment date and a category. Add notes, or pause a subscription you are taking a break from. Your home screen reads like an agenda: This week, This month, Later and Paused, each with its subtotal. The top card shows your monthly total, a timeline of the month and what is still left to pay. Swipe to pause, resume or delete. REMINDERS BEFORE YOU'RE CHARGED By default Subly reminds you 3 days and 1 day before each renewal, and you can change the timing in Settings. Mark a subscription as a free trial with its end date and you get a reminder before the trial ends, so there is time to cancel before the first charge. INCLUDED FOR FREE • Up to 5 subscriptions with all core features • Renewal and free trial reminders • Detail screen with yearly cost, total paid so far, share of your monthly total and a payment timeline • Cancel shortcut that opens the service's own account page for known services • Multi-currency: each subscription in its own currency, totals in your base currency • Calendar of all payments, with optional sync to your calendar as recurring all-day events • Insights by category and your top subscriptions • Small "next payment" widget SUBLY PRO • Unlimited subscriptions • Deep insights: 12-month projection, currency effect and savings from paused subscriptions • Medium widget with your monthly total and next three payments, plus Lock Screen widgets • Siri and Shortcuts: monthly total, upcoming payments, next renewal, add a subscription • Control Center button to add a subscription (iOS 18) • Apple Watch app with complications for your next payment, monthly total and upcoming list PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no bank linking.
