I built a simple iOS app to stop forgetting subscription renewals
Hey everyone,
I’ve been building a small iOS side project after work.
It’s a simple app for tracking subscriptions, renewal dates, and reminders before you get charged again.
I started it because I noticed I had subscriptions spread everywhere: streaming, cloud storage, AI tools, productivity apps, random yearly plans… and I didn’t have one simple place to see what was coming next.
The goal is not to build a complex finance app.
I wanted something lightweight:
- add a subscription quickly
- see upcoming renewals
- get reminders before payment dates
- keep everything simple and local-first
One thing I’m learning is that building the app is easier than explaining the value clearly. “Subscription tracker” sounds simple, but positioning it in a way people instantly understand is harder than expected.
I’d love feedback from other builders:
What would make you actually use a subscription tracker?
Better reminders, spending overview, categories, yearly cost summary, or something else?
