Keep the receipt. Know the deadline. Follow up on the refund. Ajar keeps returns, expected refunds and purchase evidence together on your iPhone. See what needs attention, act while the window is open, and confirm when your money arrives. RETURN IT IN TIME Save a purchase and review its return date. Ajar can suggest dates from supported store policies and receipt details, with sources and estimates shown in the app. Check the store's terms for your purchase and adjust any date before relying on it. Reminders help you act before a deadline. KEEP REFUNDS IN VIEW Mark an item returned, then track the refund you expect. Money separates what is still owed from what you have confirmed received. You check your account and confirm each payment; Ajar keeps the follow-up visible. CHECK THE RECEIPT Scan paper, choose a photo, import a PDF, paste an order confirmation or add details yourself.
