launched this about a month ago as a solo side project. the first few weeks were pretty quiet, then i woke up to a sudden overnight spike in eastern europe.

i had codex dig through app store connect via mcp to figure out where it came from, and it turned out lifehacker had featured duefolio in its “best ios apps of august” roundup. then the very next day macstories featured it too, and for a little while the momentum just kept building.

the spike has mostly settled now, but seeing a 17.4% app store conversion rate, 257 active users, and getting the first real feature request from a user made the whole thing feel much more real.

still very early, but this is probably the first month where it feels like strangers are actually discovering, using, and caring about something i built.

Boom

I launched Duefolio two weeks ago, and 143 people have already tried it. That may sound small to some, but as a solo developer it feels huge.

Duefolio is an iPhone subscription tracker built around a visual timeline instead of another list. There’s no account or bank linking, and your ledger stays on-device.

The core tracker is free. Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase—not another subscription.

Do the App Store screenshots make the timeline idea clear before downloading?

I built Duefolio because I wanted a clearer way to see recurring payments without linking my bank account or handing my financial data to another service.

Most subscription trackers show a list. Duefolio uses a visual timeline instead, so you can see what renews, what ends, and how your recurring commitments build up over time.

There’s no account and no bank connection. Your ledger stays on-device. You can also import a CSV statement to review possible recurring charges, track price history, set renewal reminders, export your data, and ask an optional on-device assistant questions about your own ledger.

The trade-off is intentional: if you want automatic bank synchronisation, Duefolio probably isn’t the right tool. It is designed for people who prefer more control and are willing to review or import their data themselves.

The core tracker is free. Pro is a $14.99 one-time purchase for statement review, custom subscriptions, income and profit-and-loss views, widgets, and additional tools. There is no monthly or annual subscription and no ads.

I’m the developer, so I’m obviously biased. I’d genuinely like to know: do you prefer a privacy-first manual workflow for recurring spending, or is automatic bank syncing essential for a tool like this?

Every subscription appears as a bar across the year, so you can see what renews, what ends, and how your recurring costs build up over time. I also added local CSV review for recurring charges, price history, renewal reminders, and an optional on-device assistant for questions about your own ledger.

The main trade-off is density: the timeline gives you a much better overview than a conventional list, but it may take a moment to understand.

The app is free to download. Pro is a $14.99 one-time lifetime purchase no recurring subscription and no ads.

Duefolio: Subscription Tracker (iPhone — screenshot attached)

A — Answer: Duefolio helps you understand recurring spending without linking a bank account or creating an account. Instead of showing subscriptions as a flat list, it places them on a year-long timeline so you can see what renews, what ends, and how your recurring costs build up over time. Your ledger stays on-device.

B — Better: Compared with list-based trackers such as Bobby and similar apps, Duefolio is built around a visual ledger rather than just a list of services. It includes a renewal timeline, price history, local CSV review for recurring-charge candidates, and Folio—an optional on-device assistant for asking questions about your own ledger on compatible devices.

C — Cost: The core tracker is free. Duefolio Pro is a $14.99 one-time lifetime purchase that unlocks custom subscriptions, bank-statement review, income and profit & loss, widgets, and additional tools. There is no recurring subscription and no ads.

I’m the developer, Siddhu Dai. Feedback on whether the year-long timeline makes the product immediately understandable would be especially welcome.
