Feature announcements and updates.

SubManager v1.2 now available - Includes icons, categories and more!

6 March 2024

I am happy to announce that SubManager v1.2 is now available for iOS, macOS and visionOS! This major update brings an updated interface as well as some features that were highly requested.

With SubManager v1.2, you can now set icons for your subscriptions. The update includes a wide range of services and more will be added over time.

For SubManager+ users, you can now categorize your subscriptions and easily filter your list by category. You can also set a payment method for each subscription, so you don't lose track of which card was used.

Ever since SubManager was launched, the app was always available to download on Apple Silicon Macs. It was later made available for Intel Macs via the Catalyst app. With this update, the Catalyst app has been replaced with a fully native Mac app built using SwiftUI, enhancing the user experience. The new Mac app is available for all Macs running macOS Ventura and later.

While the app on iPhone keeps the same 3 tab layout as before, iPad and Vision Pro users can enjoy a new 3 column layout making it easy to filter between active subscriptions, categories and payment methods.

Updated iPad UI

The app continues to get better with each update, and I appreciate the positive feedback received over the last few months. The Black Friday sale has exceeded my expectations, and I am excited to be participating in the upcoming Indie App Sales event running from March 12 to 13. If you haven't purchased SubManager+ yet, next week is your chance to get it at a discount!

As always, do send any feedback you may have via the send feedback button found in settings. Your feedback helps to shape the future of this app. Thank you for using SubManager!

SubManager launching Day 1 on visionOS

SubManager for visionOS

I'm happy to share that SubManager will be available on Apple Vision Pro at launch as a native visionOS app!

With SubManager, you can keep track of your subscriptions in one place and get notified before a subscription is renewed. With the launch of the visionOS app, SubManager will be available on 5 Apple platforms, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro.

The majority of features currently available will be on the visionOS version as well. If you have already purchased SubManager+ on another platform, you can enjoy SubManager+ features on visionOS at no additional cost. SubManager+ features on visionOS include App Lock using Optic ID, marking subscriptions as ended and exporting to a CSV file.

SubManager for visionOS will be available on February 2nd when the device launches in the US. I hope you enjoy it and do let me know any feedback you have via the send feedback button in settings. More features are on the way, so stay tuned!

From the very beginning, the iPad app has been available to download on Apple Silicon Macs.

This also makes the app available to Intel systems for the first time.

SubManager now available on Apple Watch

SubManager is now fully supported on Apple Watch with version 1.1, just in time for watchOS 10 launching next week. This will be one of the first apps available on Apple Watch which makes use of the new watchOS 10 UI elements.

The dedicated watch app lets you view your subscriptions right on your wrist. Additionally, all the widgets currently available on iPhone have been ported over to Apple Watch.

The v1.1 update also includes full iOS 17 compatibility, including support for StandBy. More features will be available in the coming months.

SubManager launched on App Store

9 September 2023

SubManager 1.0

Hi everyone,

I am very happy to announce that I have launched my first iOS app on the App Store, SubManager, built using the latest technologies such as SwiftUI.

We are seeing a lot of things move to a subscription based model, and even price increases. Not all the banking apps are able to keep track of subscriptions, which can make things difficult when subscribed to a number of services at once. When I was looking for a subscription management app, most of them required purchase of the premium tier (or even a subscription!) to track more than 5 subscriptions at once, and some have a limited number of currencies. There was room for something better, and that's what led to me creating SubManager.

From the very beginning, I never wanted to put any ads on it, or charge users for unlimited tracking. And this will be the case for the lifetime of the app. The initial version is packed with a handful of features, including:

  • Tracking an unlimited number of subscriptions
  • Get notified up to 7 days in advance
  • Conversion of foreign subscriptions to your local currency
  • Insights based on your subscriptions
  • Free iCloud sync
  • Widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen

Users also have the choice to purchase SubManager+, a one time purchase containing premium features such as:

  • App Lock using passcode or biometrics
  • Import and Export to JSON or CSV files
  • Mark subscriptions as ended
  • Change app icon to your local currency

SubManager+ is available for $4.99 and $9.99 for SubManager+ with Family Sharing. In addition, any new SubManager+ features will be included at no additional cost. More features are in the works and the roadmap is available at submanager.app/support

I appreciate all feedback as they do help shape the future of this app. I look forward to improving the app with new functionality over the coming months.
