## Setup Questions
- Which subscriptions or trials could charge in the next 60 days?
- Which annual renewals are easy to forget because they do not appear every month?
- Who can make the keep, cancel, downgrade, pause, or usage-review decision?
- Where will confirmation receipts, cancellation emails, or export notes be stored?

## Filling Notes
- Sort the list by review-by date, not only by renewal date.
- Use visible costs only; keep taxes, refunds, and exact account details in the provider account or private records.
- Write the next action as a verb so the tracker does not become a passive list.
- Keep one line for each subscription even when several services charge to the same card.
## Privacy and Limit Reminders
- Do not store passwords, card numbers, recovery codes, or private account notes here.
- Confirm cancellation rules, taxes, refunds, and trial dates with the provider.

How to adapt it
Replace bracketed text with your details, remove sections you do not need, and keep the final version short enough for the reader to act on.
FAQ
What should I include?
Include service name, cadence, renewal date, visible cost, review date, owner, and next action. Add cancel-by rules and usage evidence when a decision needs more than a reminder.
What should I leave out?
Leave out card numbers, passwords, recovery codes, private account notes, and anything unsafe to share. Store provider-specific details only in the account or another private record.
How often should I review it?
Review it monthly, and again before annual renewals or free trials end. Sort by review-by date so cancellation windows appear before the charge date.
Why track usage evidence?
Usage evidence keeps the decision concrete. Last used date, people using it, and keep-or-remove signals help avoid keeping a subscription only because the renewal is familiar.
