SubRibbit is a focused subscription tracker for iPhone. It brings memberships, software services, and recurring charges into one clear calendar, so upcoming renewals, expected monthly spending, and long-term trends are easy to understand. Key features: • Record each subscription’s name, start date, price, currency, and billing interval • Calculate future renewals automatically—no manual payment confirmation required • Review upcoming charges from Home or a monthly calendar • Explore spending across 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 3 years • Preserve price and sharing history, using only the exchange rate for each historical date • Show original prices, original plus converted prices, or converted prices only • Create categories and colors, and choose default reminder timing • Schedule renewal reminders on your device • Export CSV backups and restore local data at no charge Privacy first: subscription names, amounts, reminders, and renewal history stay on your device by default, and signing in does not upload them. The core app works without an account. Optional Sign in with Apple is only for account and profile-name management. Cloud Sync is not available and never runs automatically. SubRibbit Lifetime Pro is a one-time, non-consumable purchase that permanently unlocks shared-plan splitting and PDF spending reports. It does not auto-renew. Estimated amounts, exchange rates, and reminders are for personal organization only. Your provider’s bill and actual charge remain authoritative.

Subscription Manager is a subscription tracker for iPhone that keeps all your subscriptions and recurring bills in one list. You see what you spend per month and per year and when the next charge is due, and you get a reminder the day before every payment and before a free trial turns paid. No bank login, no account. Pick from 270+ services or add your own, in any of 50 currencies. KEY FEATURES EVERY SUBSCRIPTION IN ONE LIST Streaming, music, cloud storage, AI tools, your gym, rent or insurance. Pick from 270+ popular services, most with their logos, or type in your own. Weekly, monthly, every 3 or 6 months, yearly, a custom number of days, or a one-time payment. Add the card you pay with and a note if you need one. REMINDERS BEFORE EVERY CHARGE Notifications come at 10 in the morning, never at night: • The day before a payment and on the day itself • Before a free trial turns paid • A week ahead of big yearly renewals • On the 1st, with what last month cost You can switch reminders off for any subscription. FREE TRIALS Enter when the trial ends and what it will cost after. The app counts down the days, so you decide in time whether to keep it. REAL MONTHLY AND YEARLY TOTALS Trials are counted at the price you'll pay after them. Paused and cancelled subscriptions drop out, so the number on the screen is what you really pay. MONTHLY SPENDING LIMIT Set a limit and see how much of it this month already takes. If the coming month will go over it, the app warns you on the 1st. PAYMENT CALENDAR The next charge, the week ahead, what's left to pay this month, and a month view with logos on billing days. Tap a day to see what's due. The app icon shows how many charges are due today. INSIGHTS (PRO) See where the money goes by category or by service, with charts by month and by week, including the months ahead. 50 CURRENCIES Keep each subscription in the currency you actually pay in. Totals are converted into one currency of your choice, with exchange rates updated weekly. CANCEL WHAT YOU DON'T USE Sort by price to see what costs the most. Once you cancel with the provider, mark it as cancelled: the app shows when it ends and leaves it out of your totals. Taking a break? Pause a subscription and resume it later. WIDGET, ICLOUD, BACKUP An Up Next widget for your home screen in three sizes (Pro). Your list syncs across your devices through iCloud and comes back after a reinstall. Export everything to a file and import it back whenever you like. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in, no bank connection, no ads. Your subscriptions stay on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. Anonymous usage statistics never include the names, amounts or notes you enter. FREE AND PRO Free: up to 5 subscriptions with reminders, the calendar and the spending limit. Pro: unlimited subscriptions, Insights and the widget. Pro is a yearly subscription with a 3-day free trial or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Add your first subscription and see your real monthly total in under a minute.
