FAQ
When exactly do the reminders arrive?
You get one reminder a set number of days before the deadline and another on the final day itself. Both the number of days of warning and the time of day the notification is delivered can be changed in Settings, so it can reach you in the morning before you head out, or in the evening when you are home with the box.
I don't know the store's return policy. What do I enter?
Check the receipt, the order confirmation email, or the returns page on the retailer's site - most US retailers state a 30-day window, and electronics or opened items are often shorter. If you truly cannot find it, enter a conservative number like 14 days so the countdown pushes you to act early, then update it once you know. The date shown is only an estimate based on what you entered; the seller's own policy is what actually decides whether a return goes through.
What happens to an item after its deadline passes?
Nothing is deleted. It turns gray and drops to the bottom of the list so it stops competing for attention. Plenty of stores will still take something back a little past their stated window, so it is worth asking - and when you are done with it, mark it Returned or Kept and it moves to your history.
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone and nowhere else. There is no account, no login and no server behind this app. Your purchases, prices and the receipt photos you attach never leave the device and are never uploaded.
Is it a subscription?
No. Return Deadline is a one-time purchase with no monthly fee and no ads, and you can add as many purchases as you want.
