Sonar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sonar keeps every subscription you pay for in one place: what it costs, when it renews, and what you're spending a year. Then it does something your bank statement can't. It tells you which ones you've stopped using. WHAT MAKES SONAR DIFFERENT Link a subscription to its app, and Sonar uses Screen Time to count how often you actually open it. Once a month it reports the ones you barely touched. Not an estimate: a count of the days you opened it, or didn't. EVERY SUBSCRIPTION IN ONE PLACE - Add them by hand, pick from common services already priced for your country, or import them by screenshotting your Apple subscriptions page - See what you spend per month and per year at a glance - Mixed currencies are converted using published exchange rates, covering every currency the App Store bills in NEVER BE SURPRISED BY A RENEWAL - A reminder before every renewal, as many days ahead as you like - A calendar of what is coming and what it will cost SEE WHAT YOU ACTUALLY USE - Days opened across the last 30 days, and across the last year - A monthly report naming the subscriptions you barely opened - You set the bar for what "barely used" means COUNT WHAT YOU HAVE SAVED - Cancel something and Sonar counts the charges that never happened - Totalled per year, at the price you were actually paying PRIVATE BY DESIGN Screen Time tells Sonar one thing per app per day: opened, or not. Never how long, never what you did inside it, never anything about apps you have not linked. That record stays on your iPhone. Sonar has no account, no server and no analytics. HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS Sonar cannot read your real App Store subscriptions, because no such interface exists on iPhone. You add them, or import them from a screenshot. It cannot cancel anything for you either. And it only sees this iPhone, so an app you mostly watch on a TV will look unused here. SONAR PRO Sonar is free for up to 2 subscriptions, with every feature. Sonar Pro removes the limit. Two ways to buy: - Yearly, with a 1-month free trial - Lifetime, one payment, no renewals Prices are shown in your own currency before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A yearly subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. A free trial that is not cancelled before it ends becomes a paid subscription. Terms of Use: https://romisoft.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://romisoft.app/privacy

Stop paying for apps you don't use. Subscription Tracker shows not just what you pay, but what you actually use. It connects your subscriptions with Screen Time, so you can finally see which ones are worth it and which ones quietly drain your wallet. Most subscription apps stop at reminders. This one tells you what to keep. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT - Usage meets spending See how many hours you actually spent in each app next to what it costs you. Paying $18.99 for an app you opened for 1 hour this month? You'll know. - Spot what you barely use Subscriptions with low usage are highlighted, so you can review them before the next charge. - Price increase alerts Services raise prices quietly. Your price history is tracked, and you get notified when you're paying more than before. - No bank login required Add subscriptions in seconds. Your finances stay yours. - Private by design Screen Time data is processed on your iPhone and never leaves your device. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO STAY IN CONTROL - 450+ services built in: streaming, music, AI tools, fitness, gaming, news and more, or add your own - Renewal reminders before every payment - Free trial reminders, so a trial never turns into a charge - Upcoming payments and a monthly forecast in one view - Spending insights: trends over 6 months and breakdown by category - Monthly recap: what you spent and how much you used - Any billing cycle: weekly, monthly, yearly - Multiple currencies HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your subscriptions from 450+ services or create a custom one. 2. Connect Screen Time to see how much you use each app. 3. Get alerts before renewals, price changes and when usage drops. Know what you pay. Know what you use. Keep only what's worth it. PREMIUM Unlock unlimited subscriptions, Screen Time usage insights, price increase alerts and full spending analytics. - Yearly: $29.99 per year, includes a 7-day free trial - Monthly: $5.99 per month - Weekly: $2.99 per week Terms of Use: https://subbymanager.netlify.app/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://subbymanager.netlify.app/privacy/
