Why I Built a Subscription Tracker That Doesn't Talk to Your Bank.

The “subscription creep” is real.

It starts small — a $12 streaming service, a $9 news site, maybe a $5 “Pro” upgrade for something you barely use. Individually, they feel like nothing. Collectively? They quietly stack up into something much bigger.

When I finally sat down to look at my own spending, I realised I didn’t want another complex budgeting app. And I definitely didn’t want to hand over my bank login details just to track a few subscriptions.

That’s why I built Oh My Sub.

Simple is the Feature

Most apps in this space try to do everything. They track groceries, categorise spending, sync with your bank, and build dashboards you didn’t ask for.

Oh My Sub does one thing — it gives you a clear, simple view of your subscriptions.

That’s it.

What that means in practice

No bank syncing

You enter your subscriptions manually. It takes a few minutes, and your financial data stays exactly where it should — with you.

Private by design

No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Everything stays on your device.

The “wait… that much?” moment

Enter your monthly costs and the app shows you the yearly total instantly. That number tends to get your attention.

Value ratings

Not every subscription earns its place. Rate them and quickly see what’s worth keeping — and what isn’t.

Stop paying to track your payments

There’s a certain irony in paying a subscription just to manage your other subscriptions.

Oh My Sub is a simple, one-time purchase. No tiers, no upgrades, no ongoing fees.

Available now

If you’re curious what your subscriptions are really costing you, Oh My Sub is now live on the iOS App Store.

It’s lightweight (under 2MB), private, and built to give you control back.
