The notes that get through to you are the ones you wrote yourself. SelfPush lets you write a few lines today and have them show up on your lock screen later, as an ordinary push notification, when you are most likely to need them. WRITE NOW, RECEIVE LATER - Save short messages in your own words, as many as you like - Pick a daily push time in Settings. Each day SelfPush sends one of your saved messages, picked at random - Or give a single message its own date and time, for the morning of an exam, a hard conversation or a deadline - Tap the push to read the message full screen, signed "from your past self" - Edit, reschedule or delete any message whenever you like THREE TABS Messages holds your list and shows the next push. Alerts is a history of the pushes that have already arrived. Settings has the push time, the daily on and off switch and a test push that lands right away, so you can see how it will look. GOOD TO KNOW SelfPush schedules your daily pushes two weeks ahead on the phone and tops that window up whenever you open the app, so open it now and then. Delivery also follows your phone's notification and battery settings. The notification prompt appears when you set a push time, schedule a message or send a test push, not when you launch the app. ABOUT THE AD SelfPush is free and shows one small banner at the bottom of the Alerts tab. The Messages tab, Settings and the full-screen message have no ads. Where the law requires it (the EEA and UK), a consent form asks about ads before any of them load, and Settings gets an Ad privacy options row for changing your answer later. On iPhone, the system tracking prompt appears only if that form allows it. Decline either one and every feature keeps working. There is no account and no server of ours. Your messages, schedule and history are stored on the phone, and the ad request is the only thing the app sends out on its own. LANGUAGES SelfPush speaks English, Korean, Japanese and Simplified Chinese, switching with your phone's language. Questions or feedback: contact+selfpush@peppertree.so

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ride Paper at none against SelfPush's shown. SelfPush's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 17 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
