Sharing the link to this project I found and really like. It’s simple to setup with docker, simple to use but really helpful for people not already doing full-on budgeting, financial management.

It’s allowed to me quickly setup all of my monthly, yearly, etc… subscriptions and see them in one place. It includes this nice summary screen so you can see what you’re spending at a glance. (This is from my server but these are not the real numbers)

    Interesting that people have enough subscriptions that this would be worthwhile

      “subscriptions” isnt just entertainment, you know. Rent, mortgage, car insurance, health insurance, other debt or insurance payments, money for your kids, stuff for your pets, and probably countless other options that I cannot think of in this exact moment. There are a lot of things that need regular paying that aren’t fun.

          Is it though? You can perfectly use this tool to keep all your running expenses in check, no matter if they’re easy to forget or not. It doesn’t hurt to have everything neatly summarized to compare your income against your spending, and evaluate if you need to get rid of any optional subscriptions, for example when your wage or job changes. Knowing all expenses is a vital part of budgeting.

      I mean streaming services alone would take a big hit if you like to have multiple. Then you have Cloud Storage , Gaming Subs (Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo), Music, Online Backups, etc.

      It sucks but you end up with plenty quickly

          Oh yeah sure. I do the same, well except some offers that were half price… and one had credit card cashback with my bank on top of that and they will last until they are too expensive. Or my deal with my work data plan that included Disney+.
