What this video covers
An inventory is a complete list with the same fields filled in on every row. That last part is what makes it useful, and what most lists are missing.
This video shows the fields that matter: price, currency, cycle, next date, owner, category and payment method. It then shows how to fill gaps in bulk rather than one row at a time.
Once the inventory is complete, totals, forecasts, alerts and reviews all work from the same source. Before that, every report is a guess.
LemSubs is a privacy-first subscription tracker. Track every recurring charge, lifetime deal, and renewal in one place — no bank connection, no Plaid, no credentials. Free for individuals.
Built by Deepak Shukla after losing $47,000+ to forgotten renewals and zombie subscriptions across six businesses. Used by founders, freelancers, and small teams who want to know what they're actually paying for without handing a third party read access to their bank accounts.
What LemSubs does
Renewal alerts 7, 14, and 30 days before every charge
Cancel guides for 500+ vendors (Adobe, Netflix, AWS, and more)
Lifetime deal break-even tracking with payback math
Zombie subscription detection — flag what you stopped using
Multi-currency, team workspaces, custom metadata, CSV/PDF export
Smart receipt import — drop in an email or PDF, get a parsed entry
Why no bank connection
Every other tracker on the market — Rocket Money, Mint, Bobby, Trim — asks for your bank credentials through Plaid. LemSubs does not. You add subscriptions manually, forward a receipt, or import a CSV. Your bank stays your bank.
