I like the idea and I certainly would have need for this. The focus on privacy and local is good but one thing I would really love to see is a feature which scans my local inbox (e.g. Apple Mail) and extracts subscriptions automatically from mails. I don’t need OCR and details most of the time but just the awareness of what subscriptions I have running and sometimes I just forget or are extremely busy to immediately add it to the list (or this app) and then a year later I find out I just pay again for something I didn’t need or used.
About adding the “What’s New” feature: it’s a great idea, but you were right not to put it on the homepage yet. It could distract from the main value prop. Maybe introduce it later as an upgrade or bonus feature once users understand the core product.
Overall, clean concept—just make sure onboarding stays extremely simple.

I was frustrated that every subscription app made me choose between linking my bank/email or enter subscriptions manually, so I decided to create RecurLock that will be private and automatic/fast with OCR
