Return Window Radar vs RefundHound

Return Window Radar is the quiet, private way to make sure you never miss a return deadline — or leave a refund on the table. Most of us lose money the same way: we mean to return something, the window quietly closes, and that’s that. Return Window Radar watches every return window for you and shows, at a glance, exactly how much money you can still get back. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account. No cloud. No tracking. WHY YOU’LL LIKE IT • See what’s still returnable — and the total dollars on the table — the moment you open the app. • A countdown for every purchase: what’s due today, what’s expiring soon, what’s safe. • Gentle reminders before a window closes, so a deadline never sneaks past you. • Track refunds you’ve recovered, so you can watch the money you didn’t lose add up. SCAN A RECEIPT, DONE Scan a receipt with your camera — or pick one from Photos — and Return Window Radar reads it on-device and fills in the store, date, and total for you. Snap it, confirm, and it’s tracked. KNOWS THE POLICIES Add a store and the app suggests its return window automatically from a built-in catalog of common retailers — so you don’t have to look it up. ADD IT TO YOUR CALENDAR Send any return deadline to Apple Calendar with a tap, if you’d rather be reminded there. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Return Window Radar has no servers and no analytics. Your purchases, receipts, and reminders live only on your device and are never uploaded — receipt text recognition happens entirely on-device. Stop giving away money you could get back. Put your returns on the radar.

RefundHound is a refund tracker for the returns you've already sent back. Log the refund, set the date the merchant promised, and get reminded the moment it's late. Sent something back and never saw the money? Refunds slip through the cracks because nobody is keeping score — the return goes out, the promised date passes quietly, and weeks later you've forgotten the amount, the date, and who to chase. RefundHound keeps score for you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Log the refund — merchant, amount, and the date they promised 2. Get a reminder when that date arrives: did the money land? 3. Tap "Got it" and the refund closes. Tap "Not yet" and RefundHound keeps chasing. IT ESCALATES SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO An ordinary reminder app nags you with the same message forever. RefundHound changes its advice as a refund ages: • First — check your account, the promised window has passed • Then — time to contact support, with a ready-to-send message you copy in one tap • Then — if you paid by card, here's how disputing the charge works • Finally — keep waiting, or write it off and move on? Reminders arrive every three days and stop after six. It chases the merchant, not you. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MAKE THE CASE • Attach a receipt photo from your camera or gallery • Record the refund method — card, PayPal, store credit, bank transfer or other • Add a note for the order number or the agent who promised it • Copy a pre-written support message with the exact dates and amount filled in • Full ISO currency support, from USD and EUR to JPY, SEK and KWD SEE WHAT YOU'VE RECOVERED A running total of every refund that actually landed, plus counts of what arrived and what you wrote off. Searchable history of every closed refund. Export the lot to CSV whenever you like — and import it back on a new phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no server. Every refund, note and receipt photo lives in a database on your phone and nowhere else. No ads, no trackers, no analytics. Cloud backup is deliberately switched off, because receipt photos are personal — CSV export is how you move your data, and you control it. BUILT TO FEEL RIGHT • Light and dark themes • Full screen-reader and accessibility support • Follows your device language • Undo on delete and write-off, so a mis-tap is never permanent WHO IT'S FOR Anyone waiting on money back — online shoppers with returns in transit, travellers owed a cancelled booking, anyone whose deposit, reimbursement or subscription refund has quietly gone missing. RefundHound is free to use, and free to track up to three active refunds at a time. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited active refunds — never a subscription. History, statistics and CSV export are free for everyone. Stop hoping the money shows up. Start tracking it.
