How to Find and Track Every Subscription You Pay For (Without Linking Your Bank)

Short answer: check four places (your app store's subscriptions page, app store receipts, the last 12 months of card statements and your email receipts), write each subscription down with its amount, billing period and next payment date, and set a reminder a few days before each charge. You don't need to give any app your bank login to do this; one careful pass through your statements is enough.

Where to look

Your app store's subscriptions page. On Android, open the store app, tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. It lists active plans, their price and the next renewal date.
App store receipts. The order history shows one-off charges too, and sometimes plans you cancelled but that are still running until the end of the period.
Card statements. Go back a full 12 months so yearly plans show up. Look for the same merchant at a similar amount every month, every week or once a year.
Email receipts. Search your inbox for words like "receipt", "renewal", "your plan" and "trial". Services you signed up for on a website rather than in an app usually only appear here and on your card.
Family and shared plans. If someone else pays and you split the cost, write down your share so your total is honest.

What to write down for each one

Name and what it is for (video streaming, music, cloud storage, a fitness app).
Amount and currency.
Billing period: weekly, monthly, yearly or every few months.
Next payment date. This is what makes reminders possible.
Payment method, so you know which statement to check.
Whether it is a free trial, and when the trial ends.

Why manual tracking without a bank login is fine

Apps that read your bank account need permission to see every transaction you make, not only subscriptions. For a list that rarely changes, that is a lot to hand over. Writing subscriptions in yourself takes a few minutes per subscription, once, and you only touch the list again when you sign up for something or cancel. You also see things a bank feed can't, such as trials that haven't charged yet or a share of a family plan. And if the data stays on your phone, there is no account to leak.

Checklist

Open your app store's subscriptions page and copy every active plan.
Scan 12 months of card statements for repeating charges.
Search your email for receipts, renewals and trials.
Write down amount, period and next date for each.
Set a reminder 1 to 3 days before each charge.
Cancel anything you would not sign up for again today.
Repeat the statement scan every few months.

How Dueberry handles it

Dueberry is a list you fill in yourself. There is no login and no bank or card link, there is no limit on how many subscriptions you add, and the data stays on your phone. Dueberry does not detect subscriptions automatically and does not cancel them; you add each one and cancel with the service itself. Each subscription has its own amount, currency, period and next date, and a payment calendar shows colored dots and a total for each day. You get reminders on the day or 1, 2, 3 or 7 days before, with one default for all and an override per subscription, plus a reminder for when a free trial ends. If you pause or cancel one, it stays in the list but is no longer counted, and the stats show how much you save in a year. You can back up to a file and restore it through the system file picker. Dueberry is supported by ads.

Dueberry only shows what you enter. Always check the actual charges with your card or store.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to link my bank to track subscriptions?

No. Most people have somewhere between a handful and a few dozen subscriptions, and each one only needs an amount, a billing period and a next payment date. You can write that down once from your statements and receipts without giving any app your bank login.

Where do forgotten subscriptions usually hide?

In the app store's subscriptions page, in card statements as small recurring charges, and in email receipts. Yearly plans are the easiest to forget because they only show up once a year.

Can Dueberry find my subscriptions automatically?

No. Dueberry does not connect to banks or cards and does not detect subscriptions. You add each one yourself, and the data stays on your phone.
