Adding a New Trial

To start tracking a new subscription, click the Trial Ghost extension icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the main dashboard.

Click the "Add Trial" button. Enter the name of the service (e.g., "Netflix") and select the exact date the free trial expires or the date you will be charged.

Tip: Always select the expiration date provided by the service to ensure your reminders are perfectly timed.

Configuring the Reminder & Priority

While filling out the Add Trial form, use the dropdown menus to customize how and when you want to be alerted.

Remind Me: Choose to receive your alert 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days before the expiration date.

Priority: Assign a High (Red), Medium (Yellow), or Low (Blue) tag. This color-codes the item on your dashboard so you can quickly see which subscriptions cost the most.

Managing Your Dashboard

Once you click "Save," your trial will appear on the main dashboard list. Trial Ghost automatically sorts this list, keeping the subscriptions that are expiring the soonest at the very top.

If you cancel a trial early, simply hover over the item on your dashboard and click the Trash Can icon to delete it from your tracking list.

Note: Deleting an item from Trial Ghost does not cancel it with the provider. You must still log into the service's website to cancel your account!
