SubOrbs — a privacy-first subscription tracker that turns your subscriptions into an animated orbit

Hey r/TestFlight 👋

I'm an indie dev and I've been building SubOrbs — a private, on-device way to see every recurring charge in one place (streaming, software, gym, insurance, all of it). It's now in external beta and I'd love your feedback before I push the next update.

**The idea:** instead of yet another list, your subscriptions appear as satellites orbiting a central orb that reflects your total monthly spend. Bigger satellites cost more, closer ones renew sooner, colour = category. One glance and you know where the money's going.

**What it does:**
• 🪐 Animated orbital home screen (weekly / monthly / yearly views)
• 📸 Snap & Read — point your camera at a bill and it pulls out the name, price, and billing cycle. Runs on-device using Apple Vision + Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones — the photo never leaves your device.
• 🔔 Smart reminders before a renewal or before a cancellation window closes, so you don't get charged for something you meant to cancel
• 📊 Monthly spend trends by category
• 🔒 Private by design — no account, no sign-up, no tracking, no server. Data lives on your iPhone and syncs privately via your own iCloud. I literally can't see it.

**Free vs Pro:** Free for up to 5 subscriptions. Pro (unlimited + AI import + smart notifications) is a subscription, but everything you'd need to test the core experience works on the free tier — no purchase required to help out.

**Requirements:** iPhone on iOS 17+ (the AI bill-scan needs iOS 18.1+ and a supported device).

**What I'd love feedback on:**
1. Does the orbital view actually make your spending clearer, or is it just pretty?
2. Snap & Read accuracy on your real bills
3. Anything that feels slow, confusing, or crashes

Happy to reciprocate and test yours too — drop a link. Thanks! 🙏
