TRIALCLOCK PRO β€” ONE-TIME PURCHASE β€’ Add recurring subscriptions billed weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. β€’ Track Apple subscriptions and services billed directly by a provider. β€’ See estimated monthly and annual spending, with currencies shown separately. β€’ View upcoming bills on a calendar. β€’ Organize subscriptions by payment-card nickname and optional last four digits. Trial tracking and trial reminders remain free. Pro is an optional, non-consumable purchase with no recurring fee. Restore your Pro purchase using the same Apple Account.

About

Cove

Read full description

Cove is a private, local-first home for the documents that matter β€” passports, ID cards, driver's licenses, bank cards and statements. WHAT'S NEW IN 1.1 Recognition rebuilt for busy cards: card numbers and expiry read reliably, unsure fields are flagged "Verify" and fixes "Repaired". Every record now carries an expiry field β€” set or clear it in one tap. Tags, people, folders and reminders are one tap away, and permanent deletes ask for confirmation first. SNAP AND DONE Photograph both sides. On-device recognition fills in the number, dates and names β€” and every field stays editable. Recognition is only a suggestion; you always have the final word. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. Recognition runs on-device with Apple's Vision framework. No servers, no analytics, no ads, no tracking β€” we couldn't read your records even if we wanted to. NEVER MISS A RENEWAL Expiry tracking with optional reminders, grouped by urgency: expired, urgent, and upcoming β€” right on your home screen. ORGANIZED LIKE A VAULT Physical folders for Identity and Banking, every document shown as it was captured. Tap any image to view it full screen; swipe through all sides. YOUR DATA, YOUR RULES Edit any label or value. Add, copy, or delete any field. Deleted records are recoverable for 30 days, then permanently removed. Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are available in the app (Settings β†’ About).
