Outflow aims to solve the problem of having multiple subscriptions and not knowing when they are renewing and how much you are paying for each. We have built the app to be intuitive and fast, so you can take control over how you are spending your money.
Outflow initially launched on Product Hunt over two years ago. Since then, I have had the opportunity to attend Apple's WWDC where I gained more knowledge regarding Swift and iOS. This experience inspired me to do a complete rewrite of the app. The goal of this update was to create a more functional and stable version of Outflow.
This new update features a brand new interface making it more convenient for quicker viewing of all your subscriptions. Also, during the original launch, one of the most requested features was the ability for the app to find subscriptions that you may already have. The app now allows you to connect to your Gmail account to receive suggestions on what subscriptions to track. Some other features include automatic currency conversion, a today extension, more renewal frequencies and a greater importance on app stability to name a few. If you are interested in seeing all the new features, you can check out this blog post: http://outflowapp.com/blog/3.0.
Fun facts:
- The app is 100% written in Swift.
- *Only* ~25 caffeinated chocolate bars were consumed in the making of this.
- Version 3.0 marks the third major re-write of the app.
If you have any questions or feedback, I would love to hear them!

@benjaminefox I recently did an inventory for a bank switch and we have 31 monthly, quarterly or annual subscriptions. From quickbooks to github and everything in between. Tracking is a PITA.
@ejameswill Truebill seems like a super cool product! I think Outflow differentiates itself by focusing on showing you when they are renewing while TrueBill concentrates on the cancellation of fees.
@raphchabaud I initially contemplated on building it for the web, however I decided on iOS because of the ability to have extensions and receive notifications. Also, I found that personally, I like the idea of managing my finances from my phone.

@kirkbyo_ Ok but also excluding a lot of people of your product.
@kennyledet Quickbooks Online is getting much better. Still needs work but they are clearly committed to regular improvements.

What are the benefits over tracking with Sheets?

@jrturner1234 I think it is not comparable since this is a mobile app. Many benefits will be like one tap to launch the app, automatic subscription detection based on the Gmail account.
@jrturner1234 Sheets does have the ability to do a lot of the things Outflow can do. However, I believe Outflow makes it more convenient by having the capacity to receive notifications for when they are renewing. Also, the app can help find subscriptions that you may not have even known about.

Nice - this is like Deseat Me with paid subscriptions.
