Pineapple keeps track of what you bought and when it has to go back, so a return window never closes on you by surprise. Connect your Gmail and Pineapple finds your order confirmations, shipping and delivery emails, and works out each purchase's return deadline from the store's policy. WHAT YOU GET • Every purchase in one place, with a clear countdown to its return deadline • Reminders before a window closes, sent as notifications even when the app is closed • One tap to quickly start a return on the store's own site, with your order number copied and ready • Returns and refunds tracked as store emails arrive, so you know when your money is due back • Highlights: what you spent, what you sent back, your top stores and purchase categories • Perle, your returns assistant, with a short summary of what needs your attention PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Pineapple only reads shopping emails, and only to find purchases and track returns • Your raw emails are never stored. We keep only what we learned from them, like the store, total and dates • Your raw data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for advertising • Hide any purchase or store you'd rather not see, and delete your account anytime in Settings Pineapple currently works with Gmail accounts.
