Paid for lifetime 10 minutes ago, not sure I'm happy.

Imho it needs to be MUCH simpler.

I don't have many subscriptions, certainly less than 10.

I don't want a weekly reminder.

All I want is a way to tell Vexly, for every subscription for which I want a reminder, that you need to send me a reminder on "day X" that I choose manually.

Could you please add something like this? Thanks.

Will do! So, basically, you want to disable the regular reminder of Vexly and instead choose the date it reminds you?

Yes, please!

The world is a complicated place: for example, for some subscriptions, I need to unsubscribe at least 30 days in advance.

For some I get billed every month but I bought a yearly pass, and I need to unsubscribe before the year is over (or, again, 30 days before the year is over).

Other things, such as domains, maybe don't auto-renew, but I better remember to renew them, etc.

It's a lot easier for me to figure out how the rules work case by case and just let you do the task of sending me 1 or 2 emails as a reminder on the dates I choose. Thank you!

Sounds good! I will add it and let you know. It would be more convenient if you have a Discord account and join our server. :D (not required, though)

Not a fan of Discord. Thanks in advance if you can update me here!

Hey, I added what you requested. You can turn off the daily/weekly reminders by going to settings -> Notification Preferences -> Set Notification Style to off. Then, you can set the reminder time when adding new subscription, or edit reminder time of existing subscriptions
