The subscriptions list is the operational centre of Flowarden: everything recurring, with its next date, price, and status.
Everyday actions
- Confirm or dismiss detected candidates to keep the list accurate.
- Edit the name, category, billing cycle, or amount when the bank descriptor is unhelpful.
- Add manually for anything paid outside a connected account.
- Mark as cancelled once you have ended a service; the renewal drops off the calendar and expected savings are booked to the ledger.
- Pause a seasonal subscription so it stops generating alerts without leaving your history.
Organising a large list
Filter by status, category, or connection, and sort by cost, next renewal, or annualised spend. Annualised spend is the most useful sort for finding waste — a £12 monthly service costs more per year than a £99 annual one.
Cancelling well
1. Open the subscription and read the merchant's cancellation route.
2. Cancel before the renewal date, not on it — some merchants bill at the start of the day.
3. Keep the confirmation email or reference number.
4. Mark it cancelled in Flowarden and watch the next cycle to confirm no further charge appears.
If a charge appears after cancelling
Flowarden flags post-cancellation charges automatically. Raise it with the merchant using your confirmation reference; if that fails, your bank's chargeback process is the next step.
