Post Description

Got charged for services I forgot about. Finding the cancellation pages was the most annoying part — companies deliberately bury them.Started collecting them manually. 1,000+ verified direct cancellation URLs across SaaS tools, streaming services and apps. Made it into a free searchable page and also an iOS app that tracks subscriptions and reminds you before renewals.You can also submit missing services directly and I'm working on a public API for the search endpoint. website url: subscriptioncat.space/search

Cancel Me – A browser game which parodies dark cancellation patterns

Turns the agony of canceling a subscription into an easy-to-digest, slightly vicious joke — the landing copy and single-click 'Start Game' flow telegraph the concept immediately. It's a neat little demo for calling out manipulative UX, but it's mostly a novelty and would benefit from more varied levels or concrete examples to make it stick beyond a five-minute laugh.
