Overview 📢

SubWatcher was created to address a common challenge: many users pay for subscriptions that include valuable features or benefits, yet they rarely take full advantage of them. Whether it's a streaming service, a cloud storage plan, or even niche subscriptions like ChatGPT's Sora video generation feature, SubWatcher keeps track of your usage and sends you a reminder at the end of your subscription period. This ensures you can enjoy every benefit before your subscription renews for the next month.

For example: Many ChatGPT subscribers pay $20/month for a service packed with features—such as Sora’s AI video generation—yet they rarely tap into its full potential.

• ChatGPT Plus: Offers credits to create up to 50 priority 5-second videos at 720p
• ChatGPT Pro: Provides up to 500 priority 20-second videos at 1080p (with unlimited "slow" generations)

Features ✨

• Universal Subscription Monitoring:
  Works with any subscription service—from entertainment and productivity apps to specialized digital services—by letting you input or capture your subscription details.
• Identifier:
  For the web platform, simply select a screenshot (from your local drive or cloud services like Google Drive/Dropbox) that shows your subscription purchase or renewal information. Our AI-powered Identifier extracts the relevant text (such as renewal dates and available benefits) automatically.
• AI-Driven Notifications:
  Uses intelligent analytics to detect underutilization and sends you a reminder just before your subscription renews.
• Customizable Alerts:
  Set your preferred notification thresholds and frequency to suit your usage habits.
• Usage Analytics Dashboard:
  View historical usage data, track your benefit consumption, and receive personalized suggestions to optimize your subscriptions.

Architecture 🔧

The project is built with a modular architecture to support multiple platforms:

• Frontend:
  • Web Platform: Developed with modern web technologies (e.g., React) to ensure a responsive, intuitive user experience.
  • iOS: (Coming Soon) Will be developed using Swift and SwiftUI for a native mobile experience.
• Backend:
  • A RESTful API (using Python or Node.js) that manages user data, subscription details, and AI analytics.
• AI Module:
  • Implements machine learning (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch) to analyze usage patterns and extract text from screenshots (the Identifier).
• Database:
  • A lightweight relational (e.g., SQLite) or NoSQL database to store user configurations and usage statistics.
