My app breaks up with my subscriptions - Because someone had to tell Duolingo it's over.

Dear Headspace, it's not you, it's me. I haven't meditated since March and honestly I never will. I need to move on. Goodbye. — Simeon Breakup scans your bank statement, finds every subscription you forgot about, and writes a dramatic (and real) breakup letter to each one. You can cancel with one tap, then post the letters to TikTok.

Got overdrawn because Duolingo renewed my annual plan without warning. So I built an app that breaks up with subscriptions for you. That wasn't even the first time this year — The Athletic switched me to full price after my promo ended, and I'd only ever read a handful of articles. Sound familiar? Gym memberships, Headspace, Audible — we've all got at least one subscription we keep meaning to cancel and never do. So Breakup Letters does the awkward part for you: Scans your bank statement to find subscriptions you've forgotten about. Writes a custom breakup letter for each one ("Dear Headspace, it's not you, it's me — I haven't meditated since March") Cancels it, no hold music required. I've built this solo as a dad of two who'd rather spend time watching my kids play than sit on hold with customer service. What's your most regretted subscription? Drop it in the comments and I'll write its breakup letter for you.

 This gave me a good laugh because we've all had that subscription we forgot about until the charge showed up. Just upvoted. I like that you're solving a real annoyance in a simple way, and doing it as a solo founder and dad makes the story even better. Best of luck with the launch.

 Ha, really appreciate that, Nick and yeah, that's exactly the moment that pushed me to build this. The "wait, when did I subscribe to that?" feeling is universal. Good luck with your own launch too, would love to check out what you're building 🙌
