Subscription tracker built by someone who forgot 11 of them

I built CentryAI because I have ADHD and was paying for 11 subscriptions I hadn't used in months. Most trackers make you enter everything manually — that doesn't work if you've forgotten what you're paying for. CentryAI scans your Gmail or iCloud, finds every recurring charge, and scores which ones you're not using. The real pain is cancelling. CentryAI's Cancel Finder locates the exact cancellation page in one tap. No bank linking. Emails are never stored. Available in 18 languages.

The zombie score is a nice touch. I imagine it's tricky though, because not every subscription is meant to be used regularly. A VPN, domain renewal, or cloud backup might look "dead" even when it's doing its job. How do you handle those cases? Congrats on the launch!

@jared_salois Sharp observation — and honestly, you've identified a real limitation.
The zombie score doesn't currently distinguish between subscription types. A VPN or cloud backup that's quietly doing its job will score similarly to a streaming service you haven't opened in months — both look "silent" to the algorithm.
What we do instead: the score is a flag, not a verdict. It surfaces subscriptions worth a second look, but the final call is yours. A high zombie score on your domain renewal is a prompt to confirm it's still intentional — not an instruction to cancel it.
Differentiating passive infrastructure from active services is the next meaningful refinement for the scoring model. You're not the first to point at this gap, which tells us it belongs on the roadmap sooner rather than later.
Thanks — and congrats on the sharp eye.
It’s an interesting idea, I have found subscriptions I forgot about before and wished I cancelled sooner.
But people who are looking to reduce subscriptions won’t want to subscribe and pay? Maybe you can do ads or a different monitization scheme?

@mjohnson42 Fair challenge — and honestly the question I asked myself before building it. Three thoughts:
There's a free tier: track up to 3 subscriptions, no payment. For a lot of people that's already enough to catch the forgotten ones.
For Pro, the math tends to defend itself: it costs less than one forgotten subscription. Find a single $10/month zombie you'd forgotten and the app has paid for itself several times over in a year. It's the one subscription whose job is to delete the others 😄
On ads: an app that reads your inbox AND shows you ads would be a terrifying combo — monetizing attention or data is exactly what we can't touch if "privacy-first" is the whole point. Charging users directly keeps us accountable to you, not advertisers.
Love this, especially the privacy angle. One thing that would help me: let me set a "trial reminder" that pings me a day or two before any free trial auto-renews, since those sneak past Gmail scans sometimes. Would catch the ones your scanner might miss.

Thank you @ykselgrbrxob8 — really glad the privacy angle resonates; it ended up shaping most of our technical decisions.
To be transparent about how it works: CentryAI doesn't continuously read your inbox — the scan runs only when you tap it, by design. That's also why a trial can occasionally slip past: trial-start emails usually carry no amount and no invoice, so they don't look like receipts to the scanner. We're actively improving the email scan to detect trial sign-ups as well. In the meantime, if you add a trial yourself (takes a few seconds), the reminders kick in automatically — you get pinged before it converts to a paid plan, so the "quiet auto-renewal" moment never happens.
And you've basically read the roadmap without seeing it: automatic trial detection in the scan — "you started a trial on X, it converts to paid on Y, want a reminder?" — is one of the next things I want to build. Feedback like this moves it up the list 🙌
Good idea, will I be able to cancel them from the app?
CentryAI
@sasha_havrilyuk Great question — honest answer: no app can legally cancel on your behalf (the contract is between you and the service). What CentryAI does instead is kill the worst part: the hunt. Cancel Finder takes you to the exact cancellation page of the service in one tap — no digging through settings mazes or support docs. You confirm the cancellation there, usually in under a minute.
This is useful. Does it catch App Store or Google Play charges, or only email-based ones?
CentryAI
@dhiraj_patel5 Straight answer: CentryAI has no direct connection to App Store or Google Play — those subscription lists are private to your account, and Apple/Google don't let third-party apps read them (by design, and honestly that's how it should be).
CentryAI works from email: if a subscription shows up as a receipt email in the inbox you scan, it gets caught. For anything the scan can't see — including store-billed subscriptions — you can add it manually in a few seconds, and everything else (renewal reminders, zombie scoring, Cancel Finder) works exactly the same for manually added ones.
i love this.. i have been something like this exist.. curious how did you gett he signals for user? integrate with bank/financials?
CentryAI
@rnagulapalle No bank or financial integration at all — that's actually a core design decision.
CentryAI scans your Gmail or iCloud inbox for subscription receipts and billing confirmation emails. Every subscription leaves a paper trail in your inbox: trial start, first charge, renewal. We read those signals, extract the subscription details, and the raw email content is discarded immediately after — never stored.
The bank-linking route gives you transaction data but requires handing over financial credentials. Email gives us the same subscription signals with a much smaller trust ask. Read-only Gmail access vs. your bank login — for most people that's an easy call.
Glad it resonated — hope it saves you some zombie subscriptions. 🧟
This one will save dollars; it's difficult to track fringe subscriptions like that domain autorenewal that I never use and I can already see long term savings.
CentryAI
@roopesh_donde Domain autorenewals are the final boss of forgotten subscriptions 😄 Yearly cadence, tiny receipt email, and by the time it renews you've forgotten the side project entirely. That's exactly the category the inbox scan catches best — thanks Roopesh, hope it pays for itself quickly for you!
