# Trackscription

> Free subscription tracker and expense manager with zero-knowledge client-side encryption.

Trackscription (https://trackscription.com) helps users track all their recurring subscriptions and expenses in one private, browser-based dashboard. It is free forever with no credit card required.

## What It Does

Trackscription lets you:
- Track all your subscriptions and recurring payments in one place
- See your total monthly and yearly subscription costs at a glance
- Get reminded before payments are due (email & push notifications)
- Import bank statement CSV files and auto-detect subscriptions
- Categorize and analyze your spending habits
- Keep all data encrypted on your device — not even Trackscription can read it

## Key Features

### Zero-Knowledge Client-Side Encryption
All data is encrypted in the browser using AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2 key derivation before it ever leaves the device. The passphrase never leaves the user's browser. Trackscription cannot access any unencrypted user data.

### Subscription Tracking
Track unlimited recurring subscriptions with name, amount, billing cycle, currency, category, and renewal date. Supports manual entry.

### Expense Categorization
Import CSV bank statements and categorize expenses with smart pattern-based categorization. The system learns from historical data to auto-categorize similar transactions.

### Multi-Currency Support
Track subscriptions in any currency. Supports currency conversion for a unified spending overview.

### Analytics & Insights
Visual spending breakdowns, monthly trends, subscription timelines, and category-based pie charts.

### Payment Reminders
Email and push notification reminders before subscription renewal dates (paid plan).

### CSV Import
Import bank statements in CSV format with automatic subscription detection.
