In detail

Typos still find it

Search runs on the catalogue cached on your phone and ranks what it finds: exact name first, then word starts, then anything containing what you typed. From five characters it forgives one typo and from eight it forgives two, so "spotfy" still finds Spotify. A service's known aliases are matched like names, so the shorthand you actually use works.

Search reaches past your region

While you browse, Suby shows services featured everywhere plus the ones tagged for your country — which follows your device unless you set it yourself under Choose region. The moment you type, that filter drops away, and from two characters Suby pulls the wider catalogue down in the background so regional services turn up in your results.

Nothing matched? Suby looks it up

When your search comes up short, a card offers to add exactly what you typed. Suby's server identifies the service and races several sources for an official logo, then hands back the name, website, a one-line description, a category and topics. The sheet shows the real stages as they happen — searching the web, checking the details, fetching the logo — rather than an anonymous spinner.

It tells you when it's guessing

A confident result shows the logo, site and description behind an "Add & start tracking" button. A shaky one is labelled "Best guess" and asks you to check the details before saving. Both screens carry a "Wrong service?" link that drops you into the editor with only your typed name kept.

Custom services for the ones nobody has

"Create manually" opens an editor for name, website, description and category, with a logo from a photo, a built-in icon, or the one the lookup found. It suggests a category and an icon as you type, and flags an existing catalogue service if it spots a match. The free limit of three services counts the ones you build here.

How it works

Open Choose a service

Tap the + button in the bottom bar, or "Browse all services" from the empty dashboard. Under the search field you get My services once you have some, then Popular, then every category as its own row.
Type what you remember

Results replace the browse view as you type, best match first, each with its category underneath. Your own custom services appear in the same list. Tap one and the new subscription form opens with that service and its logo already set.
If it's missing, tap the Add card

The card reads Add "whatever you typed" with "We'll find the details for you". It sits above the results when nothing good matched and below them when something did. Tapping it closes the keyboard, opens a sheet and runs the lookup; "Add & start tracking" takes you on to the subscription form.
Fix anything in the editor

"Edit details", "Check & add", "Wrong service?" and "Create manually" all open the same editor, prefilled with whatever was found. Set the category, pick a logo or icon, save — and it shows up under My services next time.

Questions

Do I need an account, and what gets sent to your server?

No account, and no sign-in. Search itself never leaves your phone — it runs on the cached catalogue. The lookup does call Suby's server, so the app creates an anonymous session in the background to authenticate the request. What it sends is the name you typed and your region code; nothing about the subscription itself — no price, no dates, no payment method. If you confirm what came back, the service (name, site, logo, category) is also filed as a catalogue suggestion so the next person just finds it.

Is any of this behind Premium?

Searching the catalogue is free, and so is the AI lookup — neither is a Premium feature. The limit is on services you build by hand in the editor: free accounts keep three, Premium removes the cap, and you'll see "x of 3 free used" when you're at it. The lookup also has a fair-use ceiling of 20 fresh requests an hour per user.

What still works offline?

Search does. The catalogue is stored on your device, so you can find a service and add a subscription with no connection. The AI lookup can't run: the Add card is hidden, and the empty-results view says "AI search needs a connection". The one case that needs internet is a brand-new install with nothing cached yet — then you'll see "You're offline" and a Retry button until you reconnect.
