SpendRadar

Subscription Radar puts every recurring charge in one calm, private place. Add a subscription in a tap from a grid of 27 built-in service presets ā or a custom one ā and a hero ring shows your true yearly spend at a glance, with a due-soon band counting down the next renewals. Beautiful Swift Charts reveal where the money actually goes: a spend forecast, a category donut, and a cost-over-time chart per service. Gentle renewal alerts warn you before you're charged, so a free trial never quietly turns into a yearly bill. It's private by design: your subscriptions live on your device with optional private iCloud sync that keeps them in step across iPhone and iPad ā no account, no tracking, no analytics. And in the ultimate anti-subscription wedge, it's a subscription tracker that isn't itself a subscription: a single $4.99 purchase, one time, forever. Native and universal for iPhone and iPad.
