The Free Tool Every Indian Needs to Stop Wasting Money on Forgotten Subscriptions

Tired of seeing ₹499 deducted for a service you no longer use? You're not alone. That's why we built a 100% free, no-signup tool to send you a simple reminder before any subscription renews, so you can decide whether to keep it or cancel it.

Building simple tools to help you save money.

It’s a familiar story. You sign up for a Hotstar free trial to watch that one cricket match. You subscribe to Spotify Premium for a road trip. You join a new gym with an introductory quarterly offer. You forget about it, and three months later, a silent SMS alert informs you that ₹499 has been deducted from your account.

These small, recurring charges are silent money drains. A few hundred rupees here and there for subscriptions you no longer need can add up to thousands of wasted rupees every year. In a world of auto-renewals, staying in control of your money is harder than ever.

That’s why we built the CancelMates Free Reminder Generator-a simple, privacy-first tool designed specifically to help Indians never get caught by a surprise renewal again.

Finally, a Reminder Tool That’s Actually Simple

We designed our tool to be the opposite of complicated subscription managers. There are no apps to download, no bank accounts to link, and no sign-ups required. It works in three dead-simple steps:

  1. 1. Enter the Subscription Name: Type in anything from "Netflix" or "Amazon Prime" to "Cult.fit Gym."
  2. 2. Set the Renewal Date: Pick the date your subscription is set to renew.
  3. 3. Add Your Email: We'll send a reminder to this address a few days before the renewal date.

That’s it. You get a timely reminder, giving you enough time to decide if you want to keep the service or cancel it. No strings attached.

Built for India, With Privacy First 🇮🇳

Most subscription tracking apps are designed for Western markets and often ask for invasive permissions, like access to your SMS inbox or bank statements, to "automatically" find your subscriptions. We believe that's a huge privacy risk.

CancelMates is different by design:

  • India-Focused: We built it with services Indians actually use in mind-from OTT platforms like Hotstar and SonyLIV to gym memberships and magazine subscriptions.
  • 100% Privacy-Focused: We will never ask for access to your SMS, email, or bank details. You are in complete control of the information you provide.
  • No App Needed (PWA Support): Use it directly from your browser on any device. For a seamless mobile experience, you can add it to your home screen just like a regular app.
  • Lightweight & Fast: Built with modern tech (Next.js and Tailwind CSS), the tool is incredibly fast and works well even on slower connections.

Stop Wasting Money. Start Setting Reminders.

Take 30 seconds to set your first reminder and put an end to surprise renewal charges for good.
