What is the best Bobby app alternative for iPhone?

Outflow is built for exactly the users who loved Bobby: local-only data, no bank linking, no account. It adds what Bobby never got — on-device AI entry, statement scanning, Home/Lock Screen widgets, smart alerts before yearly renewals, iPad and Mac support — and it's actively maintained with regular updates.

Is Bobby still maintained?

Bobby remains on the App Store but updates have been rare for years, and users on Reddit routinely describe it as abandoned and ask for a modern replacement. That's the gap Outflow was built to fill.

Can I move my subscriptions from Bobby to Outflow?

There's no automatic Bobby import yet, but Outflow makes re-entry fast: pick from the built-in service catalogue in a few taps, paste a receipt for AI auto-fill, or scan a statement to add many at once. Most people are done in a few minutes.

Loved Bobby? Outflow is the modern version of the same idea.

Bobby earned a devoted following by proving a subscription tracker doesn't need your bank account — just a clean list, local data, and a reminder before each bill. But Bobby has barely been updated in years, and its fans have spent those years asking the same question on Reddit: "what's a maintained alternative to Bobby?"

Outflow is that alternative — built on Bobby's philosophy (local-only, no bank linking, pay once), then extended with everything a 2026 iPhone can do.
