Recurred: Subscription Manager
I track around 40 subscriptions in 5 different currencies, and before I wrote a line of code I went through a dozen apps looking for one that could handle it. A few had most of the features I wanted, but none of them went anywhere near the depth of analytics and breakdowns I was after. A couple were genuinely beautiful and did almost nothing. And nearly all of them wanted a monthly subscription, which is ironic thing to ask of a person who is installing a subscription tracker.
So I built my own.
Free. Every feature unlocked. No subscription required to track your subscriptions.
• Every renewal on a calendar. See which day money actually leaves your account, and get reminders before a renewal or a free trial converts — at the lead time and hour you choose.
• See it without opening the app. Two home screen widgets: one for the payments about to land, one for how this month is tracking against what you usually spend.
• Any currency, one total. Track each subscription in the currency you're billed in and see the combined total in yours, with exchange rates kept up to date.
• Cancel what you don't use. The Optimizer tracks how often you actually open each service over a set period, then shows you which ones to cut and how much you'd save a year. • Know where the money goes. Monthly and yearly breakdowns by category, your top spenders, and a 3-year payment timeline built from what you really paid — not today's price.
• Look ahead. Open any upcoming month to see what's due. Useful when a few annual bills happen to land in the same week.
• Price history that remembers. Log every increase and see what those "small" changes have added up to.
• Add subscriptions in seconds. Pick from hundreds of popular services with their logos and colors — or just describe your subscriptions in plain English and Recurred fills in the details, processed entirely on your device (on Apple Intelligence-capable devices). Importing a CSV works too.
• Private by default. Your data stays on your device and syncs only through your own iCloud. No account, no ads, no tracking, nothing sold.
• Built the way an Apple app should be. Fully native on iPhone and iPad, dark mode first, and every screen works with Dynamic Type and VoiceOver- no web views, no clutter.

The “nothing is uploaded” promise feels like it could matter as much as the local-first architecture itself.
Have you seen users actually hesitate or question that claim yet, or is this something you’re expecting to become a friction point after launch?
Too early to tell, not enough users yet.
My approach is to remove the places where I could be lying rather than ask for trust. No account, so there's nothing to attach data to. Sync goes through the user's own iCloud, not my server. No tracking.
The friction I actually expect is the cost of local-first: no web version, no cross-ecosystem sharing.
That’s helpful context. I appreciate you explaining where you see the real tradeoff with local-first.
I’d like to continue the conversation outside the thread. What’s the best email to reach you on?
