The subscription tracker app that tells you when to cancel

Everything that matters, thought through
For anyone juggling subscriptions, memberships and contracts who wants to decide on renewals in time—not after the charge.
Reminders for every renewal
Get a reminder before a renewal and before the last day to cancel—for every cycle in the next six months, not just the next one. Track a free trial and you’re reminded three days before the last day to cancel it and again on that day. No spam, no daily noise.
A radar for what needs action now
Radar puts the decisions that are due first, split into now and next, so the full list never buries what’s urgent.
Your next dates in your calendar
Renewals, cancel-by deadlines and trial ends sit on the Radar in date order, with everything due in the next 30 days at the top. Export each active item’s next renewal and cancel-by date as a calendar file if you like.
One list for every commitment
Subscriptions, memberships and contracts—gym, insurance, broadband, streaming—in one searchable list, filtered by active, needs action or archived.
Keep, cancel or renegotiate
Every item gets a decision and notes, so you remember why you kept something—and act before the renewal hits.
How to cancel, step by step
For 66 popular services, How to cancel shows the official cancel link and the steps to get there. Every kind of contract gets a playbook with a checklist and an email and call script to copy. Free.

A look inside the app
How it works
Step 1: Add what renews
Pick a service from the built-in list or enter any subscription, membership or contract with its renewal date and cancellation rule. Add your App Store subscriptions all at once from one screenshot, or let Smart Add (Premium) read a notice or PDF.
Step 2: Let the radar watch the dates
Renewal Radar sorts everything by urgency and reminds you before cancel-by dates and renewals—not on the day the money leaves your account.
Step 3: Decide while there’s time
Keep, cancel or renegotiate: follow the playbook, record your decision and get it done before the contract renews.
What is a cancel-by date—and why the renewal date is too late
Many contracts don’t simply end on the day they renew. They come with a notice period: you have to cancel a set number of days, weeks or months before the renewal date. The last day you can still do that is your cancel-by date—and that’s the date that really matters.
A reminder on the renewal day itself usually comes too late. By then the notice period has passed and the contract runs on, sometimes on a pricier plan. For a monthly streaming subscription that costs you a month; for an insurance policy that renews once a year it can cost you a whole year.
That’s why Renewal Radar keeps three dates for every item, shows you a review-by date and reminds you before the cancel-by date, while every option is still open:
- Review by—time to decide whether you still need it or whether there’s a better deal
- Cancel by—the last day your notice still counts under the contract’s terms
- Renewal—the day the next term starts and you’re charged again

Canceling contracts in Germany: notice periods and online buttons
If you live in Germany, the Fair Consumer Contracts Act (Gesetz für faire Verbraucherverträge) made many ongoing contracts—gyms, streaming, magazine subscriptions—easier to leave. The rules cover consumer contracts on standard terms (AGB) signed on or after March 1, 2022: a renewal clause may only extend the contract for an indefinite period, and after that you can cancel at any time with no more than one month’s notice. Older contracts keep the previous rules.
Mobile, landline and internet contracts have been covered by the new Telecommunications Act since December 1, 2021: once the minimum term is over, you can cancel at any time with one month’s notice—older contracts included. And since July 1, 2022, businesses that let you sign up online must also offer a cancellation button, labeled, for example, “Verträge hier kündigen” (cancel contracts here).
Since June 19, 2026, there is also a withdrawal button: if you sign a contract on a business’s website or app, it must offer a button such as “Vertrag widerrufen” (withdraw from contract) there for as long as the withdrawal period runs. Withdrawing is not the same as canceling—it undoes a contract you just signed, within the withdrawal period.
One thing the law won’t do is watch the first deadline for you: giving notice before your initial term ends is still up to you. This is general information, not legal advice—for your specific case, Germany’s consumer advice centers (Verbraucherzentralen) can help.
The rules at a glance (as of September 25, 2026)
- Consumer contracts on standard terms signed on or after March 1, 2022 (§ 309 No. 9 BGB): an initial term of two years at most, and no more than one month’s notice before it ends
- Automatic renewal of such contracts: only for an indefinite period, after which you can cancel at any time with at most one month’s notice
- Insurance contracts are excluded from these standard-terms rules
- Mobile, landline and internet contracts: cancel at any time with one month’s notice once the minimum term is over (§ 56 TKG)
- Cancellation button since July 1, 2022: if a business that lets you sign up online doesn’t offer one, you may cancel at any time without notice (§ 312k BGB)
- Withdrawal button since June 19, 2026: contracts signed online at a distance can be withdrawn within the withdrawal period via a button such as “Vertrag widerrufen” (§ 356a BGB)

How to cancel a subscription on iPhone or iPad
Subscriptions you bought through the App Store are managed in your iPhone or iPad settings, not inside the app. If there’s no cancel button, or you see an expiry message in red, the subscription is already canceled. For free trials, Apple advises canceling at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
Contracts you signed directly with a provider—a gym, an insurer, a broadband company—have to be canceled with that provider, under the terms of your contract.
Canceling an App Store subscription, per Apple (as of September 25, 2026)
- Open Settings and tap your name
- Tap Subscriptions
- Choose the subscription you want to end
- Tap Cancel Subscription
Source: Apple Support: Cancel a subscription from Apple (opens in a new tab) checked
In the app: You can track both kinds in Renewal Radar, so an App Store subscription gets the same early warning as a two-year contract.
Tracking subscriptions without linking your bank account
Many subscription managers work by reading your bank transactions. That shows you what you’ve already paid—but a cancellation deadline usually falls before the next charge, and a yearly contract may not appear on your statement again for months.
Renewal Radar takes a different approach. It isn’t a budgeting app; it’s a decision system built around dates. You add what renews, and your data stays on your device and, if you choose, in your own iCloud account. No bank connections, no email scanning.
For each contract, a handful of details is enough to never be caught out by a renewal again:
- The provider and what the contract covers
- Renewal date and billing cycle
- Notice period and how to cancel—online, by letter or by email
- The cost, if you want reports on it
- Who in the household is responsible
Cancel guides for popular subscriptions
Official cancel links and steps for streaming, music, software and other popular services, plus general guides for gyms, insurance, broadband and more—independent, and checked against the providers’ own pages. In the app, How to cancel gives you the same official link and steps for 66 popular services, and a playbook for each kind of contract adds a checklist and an email and call script to copy—all free.

Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your question? Write to us—we reply personally.
Visit the support pageIs Renewal Radar free?
Yes. Renewal Radar is free to download, and the free version already reminds you before renewals, cancel-by dates and the end of free trials, with the Radar and your decisions included—for a limited number of active items. How to cancel for 66 popular services and importing App Store subscriptions from a screenshot are free too. An optional yearly Premium subscription removes the limit and adds household sharing, Smart Add, reports and App Lock.
Eligible users can try Premium free for a limited time. Billing runs through Apple, and the subscription renews automatically until you cancel it. To cancel, open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions.
Which languages does the app support?
The app interface is currently in English. You can name your items and write notes in any language you like.
Does the app connect to my bank or read my emails?
No. Renewal Radar has no bank connections and doesn’t scan your inbox. You add items yourself, pick them from the built-in list of popular services or import App Store subscriptions from a screenshot you choose. With Premium, Smart Add also reads text, images or PDFs.
Your data stays on your device and, if you turn it on, in your own iCloud account. The app has no server of its own—more on that in the next question.
Does Renewal Radar go online?
Renewal Radar has no server of its own and doesn’t connect to servers of ours or of other providers. It only talks to Apple: iCloud (CloudKit) for sync and for household sharing with Premium, and the App Store for purchases. Beyond that, your items leave your device only when you export or share them yourself—for example as a CSV, PDF or calendar file.
If the app crashes, iOS can hand it a crash report. The report stays on your device and only reaches us if you send it yourself from the app’s Settings. If you’ve allowed iOS to share analytics with app developers, Apple can also pass anonymous crash reports to us.
What kinds of contracts can I track?
Anything that renews: streaming and software subscriptions, gym and club memberships, insurance policies, broadband and mobile contracts, domain hosting, daycare fees and more.
Each item holds its renewal, cancel-by and review-by dates, plus an optional cost and notes.
How does Renewal Radar know my cancellation deadline?
You enter the renewal date and your contract’s cancellation rule, such as 14 days’ notice—or Smart Add (Premium) detects them in a notice. Radar uses them to decide what’s urgent, shows a review-by date and reminds you before the cancel-by date.
If in doubt, check the notice period in your contract: the app reminds you, but your provider sets the terms.
Does Renewal Radar cancel contracts for me?
No. Renewal Radar isn’t a cancellation service and never acts on your behalf. It reminds you in time and, in playbooks, shows cancellation steps, checklists and provider guidance. Whether you cancel, renegotiate or keep a contract is your call—and yours to do.
Can I share contracts with my partner or family?
Yes, with Premium. Household sharing lets you invite another person through iCloud, label who handles what and review the shared queue together. The person you invite needs Premium too—their own, or yours through Apple Family Sharing. Sync runs through Apple CloudKit.
How is Renewal Radar different from a budgeting app?
Budgeting apps look back at what you’ve spent. Renewal Radar looks ahead: it shows which renewals are coming, which deadlines are getting close and what to do about them—keep, cancel or renegotiate. It doesn’t need your bank data to do that.
Which devices does Renewal Radar run on?
Renewal Radar runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17.0 or later. On Macs with Apple silicon (macOS 14 or later) and on Apple Vision Pro, the App Store also offers the iPad app.
How do I cancel Renewal Radar Premium?
Premium is billed through Apple. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Renewal Radar Premium (Radar) and tap Cancel Subscription.
