Turn Apple subscription screenshots into a clean monthly spending dashboard — privately, on your device.
A simple, private way to see what you’re really paying for every month. Import a screenshot from Apple’s Subscriptions page, let on-device OCR detect each one, and watch your monthly total update instantly. No bank logins. No accounts. No data leaves your phone.
About the app
Most subscription trackers ask you to hand over your bank login or your Apple ID. Subscription Radar takes the opposite approach: it works with screenshots you already have on your phone, processes them with on-device OCR, and stores everything locally. You stay in control of every input.
The result is a focused finance app that’s fast to set up, never asks for credentials, and shows you exactly where your monthly money is going — including the subscriptions you forgot you were paying for.

These screens show the finished mobile flow: dashboard totals, upcoming renewals, screenshot import review, and OCR correction before anything is saved.
Features
Tap the screenshot of your Apple Subscriptions page, and Vision OCR pulls out every subscription, price, and renewal date. Review each detection before it lands in your dashboard — nothing is added behind your back.
One number, front and center: your estimated monthly subscription total. Add an item or correct a price, and it updates instantly. An upcoming-renewals panel shows what hits your card in the next 30 days.
Mark anything as “Considering canceling” to see your possible monthly and yearly savings. Add cancellation notes and a cancellation URL right next to the subscription so you don’t lose track when you’re ready to act.
Optional iOS notifications fire one day before each renewal, so an unwanted charge never surprises you. Reminders are scheduled locally — no servers, no tracking, no push notification network.
If a future screenshot import shows a price change for a subscription you already track, Subscription Radar logs the previous amount automatically — so silent price hikes don’t go unnoticed.
Take your data with you any time. Export a JSON backup to AirDrop to a new phone, or share a CSV with your spreadsheet of choice. Your data is yours, in a format you can actually use.
How to use
On your iPhone, go to Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions. Take a screenshot (volume-up + side button) of the active and inactive lists. The screenshots stay in Photos — nothing is uploaded.
Open the app, tap Import screenshots, and choose the screenshots you just took. Apple’s Vision framework reads the text on-device. You’ll see a review screen with every detection so you can edit, remove, or accept each one before anything is saved.
Subscriptions billed outside Apple (Netflix on the web, gym membership, newsletter) won’t appear in the Apple list. Tap Add on the dashboard to enter them manually — name, price, billing period, and renewal date.
Open any subscription and toggle Considering canceling. The Review list shows your potential monthly and yearly savings. Add a cancellation note or paste the cancellation URL so you can come back when you’re ready.
Open Tools and allow notifications. Subscription Radar will send a local reminder one day before any subscription with a known renewal date — so you can cancel before being charged.
From Tools, tap Export to save a JSON backup or share a CSV. Importing JSON onto a new phone restores everything — subscriptions, history, and notes — without any account or cloud sync.
Privacy
Subscription Radar processes screenshots on device using Apple’s Vision framework. Subscription information is stored locally in the app’s sandbox. The app does not create an account, does not connect to banks, does not read your Apple ID or email, does not include third‑party analytics or ad SDKs, and does not transmit any subscription data to our servers.
Support & FAQ
Open the review screen during import and check what was detected. If a row is missing or wrong, tap Add manually from the dashboard and enter the name, price, billing period, and renewal date by hand. You can also retake the screenshot in better lighting or with a larger font size in iOS Display settings — clearer source text means cleaner OCR.
Yes. Subscription Radar treats Apple imports and manual entries the same way. Tap Add on the dashboard and enter any recurring charge — gym, streaming service billed via the web, newsletter, software tool. It will count toward your monthly total and can have its own cancellation notes.
Apple requires cancellations to happen in Settings › Subscriptions. Subscription Radar lets you store the cancellation URL or steps in the subscription’s notes so you can find them quickly, but the actual cancel button has to be tapped in iOS Settings.
Not automatically — the app is fully on-device by design. To move data between devices, use Tools › Export to share a JSON backup (AirDrop, Files, Mail) and then import it on the second device.
