Subscription tracker

A subscription tracker that starts from your receipts, not your bank login

Most people can name four or five of their subscriptions. The rest renew without a sound, a few dollars at a time. Zeno builds the full list from the receipts in your inbox and the statements you download, then tells you before each one charges.


Why the list in your head is always short

Subscriptions are built to be forgotten. You sign up once, the card is saved, and after that the only sign the thing exists is a line on a statement you skim. Yearly plans are worse. They appear once a year, usually long after you stopped using them.

A tracker fixes this by putting everything in one place, with the price and the next date it charges. That part is simple. The hard part is getting the list complete without giving up an evening, and without handing your bank password to another company.

How Zeno builds the list

  1. Connect a Gmail account, read-only, and tap scan. Zeno looks for billing receipts and renewal notices and reads them on your phone. You can connect more than one account.
  2. Or import a statement. Download a CSV from your bank's website and open it in Zeno. Any bank that exports CSV will do.
  3. Add the rest by hand. A gym membership paid at the front desk still belongs on the list.

Each charge is matched against a catalogue of 509 services, which fills in the usual price, the billing cycle and a cancellation guide. You review the list before anything is saved. Nothing runs in the background: a scan happens when you tap it, and not otherwise.

What you get once the list exists

  • One monthly total for everything you pay for, with each subscription's price and billing cycle beside it.
  • A reminder seven days before each renewal, three days before, and on the morning it charges, each with the amount due. Quiet hours are respected.
  • A calendar of what renews when, so an expensive week is never a surprise.
  • A short path to cancelling: the guide for that service, with its known traps marked.

Why not just link your bank?

Bank-linked trackers can be quicker to set up. They connect to your accounts through a data aggregator such as Plaid, which means signing in to your bank through that service and giving it ongoing access to your transactions. Plenty of people are comfortable with that. Plenty aren't, and those connections also tend to break when a bank changes its sign-in.

Zeno goes the other way. It works from receipts and statements you choose to give it, keeps your subscription list encrypted on your phone, and never asks for your bank credentials. No bank login required.

Compared with a spreadsheet

A spreadsheet is free and private, and if you keep it up, it works. The trouble is that almost nobody keeps it up. It doesn't remind you before a renewal, and it can't tell you whether a cancellation actually stopped the charge. Zeno does both, and the list is already filled in.

What it costs

The free plan tracks up to 10 subscriptions, with every reminder and cancellation guide included, and it stays free. Pro is $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year: it removes the limit and adds category budgets and envelope budgeting. If you'd rather not add another subscription to your list, Lifetime is a single payment of $79.99.

Questions

Do I need to connect my bank account?

No. Zeno works from email receipts, statement files you import, and subscriptions you add yourself. It never asks for your bank login.

Which email accounts can Zeno scan?

Gmail, connected read-only. You can connect more than one Gmail account. For anything billed elsewhere, import a statement or add the subscription by hand.

Will it find subscriptions billed through the App Store or Google Play?

Often, yes. When a receipt comes from Apple or Google, Zeno reads the app's name from it, so a streaming plan billed by Apple shows up under the streaming service's name rather than as Apple.

Where is my subscription list stored?

On your phone, encrypted. You can lock the app with a PIN, and with biometrics where your phone supports them.

Can I download the app today?

Not yet. We're finishing the iOS and Android apps now. Join the waitlist on this page and we'll email you when it's ready.
