The subscription tracker that lives in your Chrome toolbar
Short answer: A good subscription tracker reminds you before every renewal, finds subscriptions without manual typing and keeps your data private. RENEW is a free Chrome extension that does exactly that – no account needed.
What a subscription tracker should do
- Remind you before renewals and cancellation deadlines – not after the charge.
- Fill in price, billing cycle and dates from order confirmations, so you do not type everything by hand.
- Show your real monthly and yearly total across all currencies.
- Handle more than streaming: software licenses, domains, hosting, VPNs and proxies.
- Let you export everything (CSV, calendar, backup) – no lock-in.
Why a browser extension beats a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet only works if you remember to update it. An extension sees the order confirmation the moment you buy, and reminds you on its own – with a badge on the toolbar icon when something is due within 7 days.
Privacy checklist
- Does it need your bank login? RENEW does not.
- Where is the data stored? RENEW keeps it in your browser; a free account is optional for sync.
- Does it read every page? Only when you click, or – if you opt in – locally on your device.
- Trackers or ads? None in RENEW.
