Hi there selfhosters.
I was looking for a self hosted open source subscription tracker for a while and since I could not find what I wanted, I decided to try to build it myself.
I used mobile apps like Billbot but the data would only be accessible on that device. I’ve also found a few web based services but would require a subscription, and the reason I wanted a subscription tracker was to get an overview of my subscriptions and start saving money by cancelling unneeded or redundant services.
Since I am using so many open source and self hosted projects I decided to try to give something back and this is how Wallos was born.
I’m not happy with the UI yet, it was my first time developing a project without a designer, but I don’t hate it either.

Feel free to open issues with bug reports or feature requests. Bug fixes will take priority.
The development cycle might not be the fastest, since I work a full time job and have a baby, but I’ll do the best I can.
Thank you and hoping the tool can be useful to someone else.
I use it on unraid server and it’s great.
It will be better if user can select what to show in main view. For example I have few entries from the same provider and don’t see description.
Looks cool, will definitely be checking this out later when I finish work.
Thanks!
Very cool. Are there any plans to integrate some sort of notification or email when a subscription renewal is coming due? You know for those of us who go month-to-month with several services…
Yes. Was the last feature I implemented. Didn’t want to realease v1.0 without it.
On the settings page you should enable Notifications and fill the SMTP details.
When notifications are enabled in the settings, on the dashboard you can individually select which subscriptions should trigger a notification.
Regards.
Adding to this you can then use Mailrise (https://github.com/YoRyan/mailrise) to convert the email to a notification of your preferred type
definitely a cool project! could pair well with income trackers and some grafana …
as it is an expense tracker does it have an API itself?
My thought exactly! Would be cool if this could create transactions in Frirefly III and/or Actual.
I’m also using Firefly III and am wondering what exactly you would do with the integration? I’m currently using Firefly’s feature to create recurrent transactions, but it would be nice if everything is handled from/with this application instead of having to update it in two different locations. Is there anything else you’d do with it? Just curious, maybe I’m missing something!
Looks good, but have one important question: what are benefits from using this app instead of spreadsheet/some kind of no-code app builder?
None really. You can probably do much more advanced stuff with a spreadsheet.
For me it’s just easier to visualise it this way and I am not very familiar with spreadsheets.
