How it works
Idle is a software tool, not a bank. Here's exactly what happens when you use it.
Drop a PDF statement, a CSV export, or a screenshot of your subscriptions screen. No bank login required.
We parse the file and pull out anything that looks recurring — subscriptions, direct debits, silent renewals.
Every recurring charge in plain English, with a flag if it's gone up, gone unused, or doubled with another tool.
Cancel, keep, switch — your call. Idle never cancels for you and never moves money.
There is no password field. There is no screen-scraping. Files are uploaded by you, manually.
Idle has no payment permissions, anywhere. It is a read-only software tool.
Even when we add an Open Banking connection later (via TrueLayer), it will be strictly read-only and you can disconnect any time.
