Subscriptions — find them, watch them, cut them
PES detects repeating charges, totals what they really cost, and flags the quiet price increases.

The detector
The Subscriptions tab reads your ledger — manually entered, imported, or bank-synced, all the same — and surfaces charges that repeat: cadence from weekly to yearly, status from active to lapsed, and the next expected date. It needs a few months of history to see the pattern; the more ledger it has, the sharper it gets.

What they really cost
The header does the math you avoid: the monthly total, the count of active subscriptions, and the annualized figure — the number that makes people cancel things.
03
Price-change flags
When a subscription’s amount moves, PES flags it — old price, new price, and when it changed. The quiet $2 increases stop being quiet.
04
Not a subscription?
Mark false positives Not a subscription and they move to a Hidden section — restorable any time. Detections are pattern guesses from your ledger; confirm details with the merchant. It’s information, not financial advice.
