Most people underestimate what they're paying for subscriptions by a lot. The streaming service you forgot. The tool you used twice. The membership from two years ago.

The usual answer is a spreadsheet, a dashboard of charts, or a cancellation concierge. None of them really work, because the problem isn't a tracking problem, it's a noticing problem. You need a moment, a few times a year, to sit quietly with the list and decide what still belongs.

Winnowed is built around that moment. Add your subscriptions by scanning a statement or typing them in. Then, at a cadence you choose, the app walks you through each one, card by card. Keep. Cut. Pause. That's it.

The ritual, from start to finish

  1. The scan triage screen, showing Dropbox, Notion, Max and Peloton found on a bank statement, each with a confidence figure and a checkbox.

    Scan a statement

    Point your camera at a bank statement. On devices with Apple Intelligence, Winnowed reads it on device and understands what it is looking at. Either way it finds the subscriptions and asks which ones to add.

  2. The Stack screen, showing $4,650 a year across twelve subscriptions, grouped by cost tier from burgundy down to sage.

    See the Stack

    Every subscription, grouped by what it costs over five years, from burgundy at the top down to sage.

  3. The Review screen, showing one subscription at a time with a usage question, a short note on why, and Cut, Pause and Keep.

    Review, card by card

    How often do you use it? Swipe right to keep, left to cut, and note why. New in 2.1, each review can carry that note.

  4. The Aligned summary screen: $3,178 of aligned annual spending across six subscriptions, one cut and two paused.

    Get the Winnowed Number

    What you spend a year on subscriptions you chose on purpose. Everything you cut sits underneath it, counted.

  5. The History screen showing $477 saved per year across three completed review sessions.

    Keep the record

    Every review is saved, and so are price changes. History is a quiet ledger of what you decided and what it saved you.

Just ask

Ask Siri what you're spending this year, or what any one subscription costs you. Add a subscription or mark one reviewed without opening the app. Your Stack turns up in Spotlight, and every action works as a Shortcut.

A quiet reminder

The widget keeps the annual total on your Home Screen, and tells you when it is time to winnow again.

Yours, and nobody else's

Your Stack syncs through your own iCloud account. No accounts to make, no servers of ours, no tracking. Winnowed cannot see your data, and neither can anyone else.

Winnowed is designed, built, and supported by one person, Kurt Klein, in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, under KSQ Studios. If you've used it and want to say hello, report a bug, or suggest something, write to [email protected].
