Everything you need to know.
Set SubsTrack up in a few minutes, get reminded before every renewal, and keep a clear record of what you pay.
Get started
Install SubsTrack, create your account and protect your data on this device.
- 01Install
Install and open SubsTrack
SubsTrack runs on Windows, Android, iPhone and iPad, and Mac. On first launch a short introduction explains how the app keeps your data private; tap Next or Skip.
On Windows, SubsTrack lives in the system tray. Click the tray icon to open it, use Pin as window to keep it open like a normal app, and turn on Start with Windows or Desktop shortcut from the tray menu or Settings.
- 02Account
Create your account
Sign in with your email and password, or create an account. New accounts receive a verification email; open the link, then sign in. You can also create an account or sign in on the web at your SubsTrack account page.
Use the same account on every device you own. Your subscriptions themselves are never readable by the account server.
- 03Security
Set up your private vault
Your subscriptions are stored in an encrypted vault on the device. Unlock it with Windows Hello, Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint or your device PIN. In Settings → Encryption & security choose how long the app stays unlocked after you leave it: immediately, after 1 minute, or after 5 minutes.
Add a subscription
The editor takes you through Service, Billing, then Preferences.
- 04Service
Choose the service
Tap + on Home. Search the catalog of popular services, which come with their logos. For anything else, choose Custom subscription, enter its name and website; SubsTrack can fetch the logo from that website, or you can upload your own.
- 05Billing
Enter what you pay
Enter the amount and currency, then pick a weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly or custom billing cycle. Set the next payment date to the renewal shown by the provider. SubsTrack keeps upcoming dates in the future and shows the charges that follow.
- 06Preferences
Add details and reminders, then save
Optionally add a free-trial end date, plan name, account nickname, category, payment method, notes, and management or cancellation links. Choose how many days before renewal to be reminded, then tap Save.
Reminders and “Did you pay?”
SubsTrack reminds you before renewals and helps you keep a record of what you paid.
- 07Notifications
Turn on notifications
Open Settings → Notifications, switch them on and allow notifications when your device asks. Choose the default days in advance and the time of day. Notifications use generic text unless you choose to show amounts.
- 08Payments
Confirm your payments
On a renewal day SubsTrack asks Did you pay?. Tap Paid to record the payment and move to the next date, Not paid to keep it, or Remind later to be asked again in 3 hours, until the end of the day. Renewals you missed in the last 7 days are asked about too. The To confirm tile on Home opens any that are waiting.
Home, calendar and insights
See what you spend and what is coming up.
- 09Home
Read the summary
The tiles on Home show your monthly spend (tap to switch to what is due this month), how many renewals are due this week and how many payments are waiting to be confirmed. Each subscription is a bubble: tap it for details, Mark as paid or Edit; press and hold to move it.
- 10Calendar
Plan with the calendar and insights
Calendar marks every renewal and trial end; switch between month and agenda views. Insights shows your spending trend by month, and each subscription’s edit page shows its payment history and how long you have tracked it.
- 11Import
Import from a bank statement
Choose Import from a bank statement and pick a CSV file exported from your bank. SubsTrack finds recurring payments, matches them to known services and lets you choose which to add. The file is read on your device and never uploaded.
Widgets and shortcuts
Glance at what is coming without opening the app.
- 12Widgets
Add a widget
On Android, add the SubsTrack widget from your home screen’s widget list (small or large). On iPhone, add it from the widget gallery and use the Siri shortcut to open SubsTrack. For privacy, widgets show how many renewals are coming up, never service names or amounts.
Privacy and security
Control what the app shows and who can open it.
- 13Privacy
Hide amounts and lock the app
Turn on Privacy mode from the ⋯ menu on Home to hide amounts on screen. The vault locks when you leave the app (after the delay you chose), and on iPhone a privacy cover hides the app in the app switcher.
- 14Appearance
Change how it looks
In Settings → Appearance choose the theme (light, dark or match system), Monochrome logos, wallpaper colours on Android, and Reduce motion.
SubsTrack Pro and codes
The free plan tracks 2 subscriptions. Pro removes the limit.
- 15Plans
Choose a plan
Open Settings → Choose your plan. Yearly costs €9.99 per year and starts with a 7-day free trial; Lifetime is a single payment of €19.99. Prices in other currencies are shown in the app. Purchases will be available through the App Store, Google Play and our website.
- 16Codes
Redeem a code
On Windows, go to Settings → Redeem code and enter your code. On iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac, redeem it on your account page: sign in, enter the code, then open SubsTrack and tap Restore purchase on the plan screen.
- 17Restore
Use Pro on all your devices
Pro belongs to your account. On any other device, sign in with the same account and tap Restore purchase.
Update or stop tracking
Keep each record current when a provider changes your plan.
- 18Edit
Edit a subscription
Open its bubble and tap Edit to change the price, cycle, next date, reminders or links. Recording a new price keeps the old one in the price history.
- 19Status
Pause, cancel or plan to cancel
Set the tracking status to Active, Paused, Cancelled or Archived, or mark it Plan to cancel to get a reminder before the next charge and a link to the provider’s cancellation page. A status in SubsTrack does not change your billing: cancel or pause with the provider itself.
Troubleshooting
Quick fixes for the most common questions.
- 20Notifications
Reminders do not appear
Check that notifications are on in SubsTrack and allowed for SubsTrack in your device settings, and that battery or focus modes are not silencing them. On Windows, keep SubsTrack running in the tray.
