About

Duesy

Features
Read full description

Duesy is a simple, privacy-first way to keep track of every subscription you pay for — without ever connecting your bank account. You add each subscription yourself, and Duesy reminds you before it renews. It also keeps a price history for every one, so when a service quietly raises its price you can see exactly how much it went up. Free trials get their own reminder before the first charge arrives. Most subscription trackers ask you to link your bank or card so they can scan your transactions automatically. Duesy does the opposite, on purpose. Nothing about your finances ever leaves your device. Why Duesy: — Fully manual entry — no bank linking, no account, no login — See your total spending per month and per year at a glance — A dedicated "next payment" card so you always know what's coming up — Price history for each subscription, with the rise or drop over the last 12 months — Free trial tracking, with a reminder before the trial turns into a charge — Choose exactly how many days before renewal you want to be reminded — Light, dark, or automatic appearance — Available in 15 languages — Completely free, with an entirely optional way to support development Duesy doesn't sell your data because it never collects any. There is no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, and no third-party code watching how you use the app. Everything you enter stays on your device.
