No simple way to see which subscriptions auto-renew this week
“I got charged $90 for a 'trial' I forgot to cancel. I have like 14 subscriptions and no idea when any of them renew.”— Hacker News ↗
Rocket Money / Truebill exist but all demand read-access to your bank. Tons of people refuse to connect a bank just to get reminders — a manual-entry tracker with smart reminders has an unserved trust-averse audience.
Anyone juggling 5+ subscriptions
Build a 'Subscription Renewal Radar' in Next.js (App Router). No bank integration — users add subscriptions manually (name, amount, billing cycle, next renewal date). Show a dashboard sorted by 'renews soonest' with a 7-day warning badge. Persist to a local SQLite file via better-sqlite3 for now. First 3 steps: (1) scaffold the `Subscription` type and an add-form route, (2) build the sorted dashboard list with a 'renews in N days' badge, (3) add a daily cron route that computes upcoming renewals. Keep it single-user, no auth yet.
