That is a different problem from full budgeting, spending analytics, or automatic transaction tracking. Sometimes the useful answer is simpler: save the date, get reminded before the charge, and stay out of another recurring payment.
When this page is for you
This fits when:
- You are tired of utility apps adding another subscription on top of the subscriptions you already manage.
- You already know the renewal or cancellation date from the signup screen, email, receipt, or billing page.
- Your real goal is to avoid a forgotten charge, not to build a full money dashboard.
- You would rather use a narrow reminder system than connect bank or card data.
What you actually need to save
For a reminder-first workflow, the critical details are usually:
- Service name.
- Trial conversion or renewal date.
- Price after the trial or at the next billing cycle.
- Where to cancel.
- One or two reminders before the final day.
That small set is often enough to stop the common mistake: leaving the signup flow without preserving the date that matters.
When another subscription is probably the wrong answer
Paying for a bigger finance or subscription-management app can make sense if you want:
- automatic imports
- bank or card linking
- full monthly spending summaries
- categories, budgets, and cash-flow planning
- cross-device systems with broader account syncing
But if your pain is narrower, "I forgot the date and got charged again," another monthly app fee may be the wrong trade.
Where KeepDue fits
KeepDue is built for the narrower reminder job.
The current launch build:
- lets you add trials and subscriptions manually
- shows what is due next
- sends local reminders before the charge
- does not require a bank link
- does not require account creation for the core flow
- is free for up to 5 active subscriptions on one device
- does not currently sell a paid IAP or subscription
If that simple workflow is enough, it can be a better fit than paying for another monthly tool just to preserve a few important dates.

When KeepDue is not the right fit
KeepDue is probably not the right primary tool if you need:
- unlimited tracking right now
- bank import or automatic subscription detection
- iCloud or cross-device sync in the current launch build
- a full budgeting workflow instead of a reminder-first one
If that is your situation, the honest move is to use a broader tool. If your pain is deadline memory, a lighter reminder layer is often enough.

FAQ
Is KeepDue a paid subscription app?

Does KeepDue link to my bank or card?
No. The current workflow is manual-first and does not require bank linking.
Why not just use a full budgeting app?
Use a budgeting app if you want a bigger money system. Use a reminder-first tool if you mainly want to stop avoidable renewal and trial charges before they happen.
