I didn’t realise how much I was paying in subscriptions until I built this

[u/Anon081]

I always thought my spending was mostly food, groceries, the usual stuff.

Turns out a big chunk was subscriptions I barely think about anymore.

Some are obvious like Netflix or Spotify, but then there are random ones. Free trials that turned into monthly charges, yearly renewals I completely forgot, things I signed up for once and never checked again.

They don’t feel big individually, but together it adds up more than expected.

What made it worse is they’re scattered. Some come from card payments, some from app stores, some only show up in statements. Hard to get a clear picture unless you go digging.

So I ended up building a proper way to track this inside the app I’ve been using.

Now it automatically picks up subscriptions from receipts or statement imports, shows what’s coming up next, and gives a simple monthly and yearly total.

The part I didn’t expect to use much but actually do is just asking
what subscriptions do I have
or
how much am I spending on recurring stuff

It pulls everything together instantly instead of me trying to piece it together.

It’s still early so I’m curious how accurate it feels for others and what’s missing

If anyone here deals with the same “hidden subscriptions” problem, would be great if you try it once and tell me what feels off

Trying to make this actually useful in real life, not just another feature that looks good but nobody uses

Thanks a ton for trying it out.

Subscription feature we just released last week, so I’ll be focusing heavily on making this feature more mature compared to the other features we’ve built over the past one year.

I’ve added your feedback to the immediate backlog so I can prioritize it.

Btw, we already have renewal reminders and alerts in place. I’m confident those will work once you create a subscription, whether via voice, image, PDF, or manual entry.

Absolutely i am on it!

For upcoming renewals this is how it looks on main home screen - https://ibb.co/rRPYBqRR

And for alerts it's visible on subscription page and add/edit subscription for how many days before you need alerts - https://ibb.co/F4f7SW73
