Slowly: Remember Your Renewals Before Your Wallet Does

Description and use

Slowly is a local‑first subscription tracker that helps users manage renewal dates and spending with a PWA interface and optional local AI for natural‑language entry.

Problem

Users struggle to remember subscription renewal dates, free‑trial end dates, and autopay cancellations, leading to unwanted charges and cognitive load.

Outcome

Users can quickly check upcoming renewals, monthly spend, and subscription details in a single dashboard, reducing cognitive load and preventing surprise charges.

Workflow

• 1. Open the app locally or via hosted demo. 2. Add a subscription manually or use the natural‑language entry. 3. If using AI, describe the subscription; the local Ollama model returns structured JSON. 4. Review and edit the draft, then save. 5. Use search, filter, and archive features to manage subscriptions. 6. Export or import data as JSON for portability.

Evidence

Slowly is a local-first subscription tracker that keeps those details in one calm, private place.

Slowly includes an optional natural-language entry workflow. A user can describe a subscription, receive a structured draft from a local AI model, review and edit the result, and then save it.

The optional AI workflow connects to a local Ollama-compatible /api/generate endpoint. The default model is llama3.2:3b, but the endpoint and model can be changed in the app settings.
