There’s now an Apple In-App Purchase logo when viewing a subscription. On iOS 27.0 at least

Just submitted the biggest update in @submanager.app’s history. More deets soon 👀

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 09/09/2026

My apps, DomainQuery and @submanager.app will be getting Day 1 iPhone Duo support. Stay tuned! #AppleEvent

This is a good reminder that if you support older operating systems, to test your app on them every once in a while. You never know what bugs may arise that aren't present on the newer operating systems.

During back compat testing of v2.0, I discovered a critical issue where the app would hang on macOS 14 when viewing sub details. This bug also affected the App Store version, and probably cost me a lot of potential customers. I ended up backporting the fix and releasing an emergency update.

100

SubManager 2.0 is my biggest update yet. Continuing the tradition of adopting the latest Apple platform features, this release will introduce automated importing alongside several new features. The beta is open to anyone who wants a sneak peek, and I look forward to sharing more details here soon.

Hearing how this app has helped customers keep their spending in check and easily cancel unwanted subscriptions truly means the world to me. It’s amazing feedback like this that keeps me going, and I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for their incredible support.

Today, @submanager.app turns 3 on the App Store. What started as a simple iOS app created during university to solve a personal need turned into a powerful subscription tracker with highly optimised apps across the entire Apple ecosystem.

101

The iOS 17 simulator is outright broken in Xcode 27 Device Hub. Doesn't respond to screen interactions but can still control it via the right hand sidebar. Reported to Apple as FB24674634. Backwards compatibility testing sure is fun...

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 06/09/2026

ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption is already present.

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 05/09/2026

This time however it didn't and the only way I could make it work was by adding the tester using @helm-app.bsky.social! Has anyone else experienced this?

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 05/09/2026

TestFlight is fundamentally broken. Random users get a message saying the link has been revoked, when I didn't, and adding new testers sometimes result in a "No Builds Available" message despite having builds in the group. I have to repeatedly remove and add the builds and user until it works.

TIL Mac apps distributed outside of the App Store cannot use Private Cloud Compute

Completed 4 years of developing on Apple platforms, including my first WWDC this year. Looking forward to what the future brings!

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 24/08/2026

It appears Rosetta got automatically removed from my system after installing macOS 27 beta 7? Probably could have happened with previous releases and only noticed it now

Invites for SubManager 2.0 beta have gone out yesterday, and would love to know your thoughts on it so far! If you haven’t joined yet, it’s not too late: submanager.app/beta/

Just another day of simulator bugs

Guess it's time for a break

Looks like they've changed how the window controls look in macOS 27 beta 6

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 17/08/2026

Yeah I presented it at WWDC and everyone wanted this. It’s been a huge undertaking that’s taken most of my time but I’ve gotten the on-device model working at a reasonable level. There will be the option to use Apple Private Cloud Compute if the results aren’t satisfactory

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 15/08/2026

First time using Xcode Cloud to deploy to App Store since you can't upload from a macOS beta

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 15/08/2026

Great, please fill in the form at submanager.app/beta 🙂

It’s really great to see my subscription tracking app ranking in the top charts in several countries and being loved by users all over. The next major update will include some highly requested features. Comment if you’re interested in trying the beta out.

Invitations will be sent out over the coming days and you can sign up via the SubManager website: submanager.app/beta

This was my no. 1 requested feature when I demonstrated the app during WWDC week and thanks to Apple’s improvements, I can finally make this a reality. That’s not all, more features are in the pipeline. And this beta is where you’ll be able to try them out.

SubManager 2.0 introduces Smart Import, powered by Apple’s Foundation Models. It can identify potential subscriptions from screenshots, photos, documents, and more, ready for you to review before saving.

CALLING ALL APPLE BETA TESTERS I’m excited to announce that SubManager 2.0 is now available for closed beta testing. If you’re on the Apple betas and want to check out one of the first apps to include Apple’s newest features, this is the beta for you! More details and sign up link in the replies

I did not expect Microsoft to mention Windows Phone in 2026

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 11/08/2026

The best way to use @submanager.app on Mac is via the native app, but if iPhone Mirroring is how you want to use it, it will gain full resizable support on iOS/macOS 27!

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 10/08/2026

No, it was beta 5 that was released today

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 10/08/2026

Finally decided to update my main iPhone to iOS 27… wish me luck

I’ve had iOS 27 on my iPad for almost a week now and this new notification animation still feels weird to me

Never miss a subscription renewal again with SubManager on all your devices. Use the code INDIEAPPSALES to get 50% off SubManager+ features for lifetime. #IndieAppSales

Ahnaf Mahmud @ahnafmahmud.com · 23/07/2026

Since #SiriAI doesn’t work in the simulator I finally decided to get the beta on one of my devices, as I work towards integrating the new features into @submanager.app. A TestFlight will be coming soon 👀

000

That’s the refresh! It’s been a fun one to work on. Let me know what you think, and if there’s anything you’d change.

If you’re visiting from a non-Apple device, the download button intelligently switches to a QR code, making it effortless to install the app on your iPhone.

The entire website now adapts to your OS theme, including all the visuals and assets for a seamless experience.

I’ve been working on a complete refresh of my app’s website, and it’s finally live at submanager.app! I’d really appreciate your thoughts. Here are some of the biggest improvements 👇

Just shipped a new SubManager update making it easier than ever to add a subscription icon. Pull it straight from any app on your Mac. Pick it, done. Up next: full document importing (screenshots, CSVs + more), my no. 1 most requested feature. Can't wait for you to try it out!

Trying out Claude Design for the first time to create new @submanager.app screenshots in 7 languages. What do you think?
