Your partner put it on your shared list — pon reminds you automatically at just the right time. pon learns with every purchase: which products you buy, in which package size, at which store and at what price. Next time, everything is already filled in. From your buying rhythm, pon even recognizes when something is due again, what's running low and what you should use up soon — and suggests it at the right time. All of this happens exclusively on your device. Fill your list without typing: just dictate — "2 packs of milk, 10 eggs and coffee" — and pon recognizes products, amounts and attributes. Works with Siri too. Nothing leaves your iPhone. Your lists sort themselves in the order you checked things off during your last trips — after a short while everything is pre-sorted just like the aisles in your supermarket. Maintaining categories is a thing of the past! Share your shopping list with family, friends or colleagues and keep track together. Whoever goes shopping can notify the others automatically — no more "honey, do we need anything?" calls. Pick your products from an extensive database or create your own — with attributes like "organic" or "lactose-free", photos, prices and offer prices. The built-in barcode scanner saves you from creating new products by hand: scan, pick the amount, done. With the Apple Watch app your shopping list is always on your wrist, leaving a hand free while you shop — right on your watch face if you like. We don't use external tracking or analytics tools. Everything pon learns about your shopping stays on your device and is none of our business — promise. Got ideas, suggestions or wishes to make pon even better? Let us know — we love feedback. pon is smart, learns with you and best of all: completely free.

Keep the receipt, watch the return window, and follow the refund until the money arrives. BackBy gives every purchase a clear next step, from the day you buy it to the day you decide to keep it or get your money back. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add a purchase your way: scan a paper receipt, choose a photo, import a PDF, share an order from another app, paste order text, or enter everything manually. • Check before saving: review and correct the store, purchase date, order number, items, prices, and total. Multi-item orders keep each item's decision and possible return date separate. • See what matters now: Home shows the value of items you may still return, upcoming dates, decisions needing attention, and refunds you are waiting for. • Set a date for any store: use a suggested date for supported US retailers, or choose your own number of days from purchase or delivery, or an exact return date. Add a store that is not listed. • Understand the estimate: open the policy explanation to see the source and how a suggested date was calculated. Category rules and exceptions may affect the result. • Get local reminders before a return date. Decide to keep or return each item, and keep the receipt with the purchase when you need proof. • Complete the return: follow a mail or in-store checklist, save a return-label image, add a tracking number, set a drop-off reminder, and show the receipt at the counter. • Follow the refund: keep returned items visible, check the expected follow-up date, and record the amount actually received, including a partial refund. Search purchases by store, item, amount, or order number. WHY BACKBY BackBy follows the whole path after checkout, not just a countdown. It connects each item, its proof of purchase, your decision, return steps, and refund in one place. Receipt reading happens on your iPhone. No account or bank connection is needed, and your receipt library is not uploaded to BackBy's servers. Amounts use your iPhone's regional currency by default; you can change a purchase's currency without exchange-rate conversion. FREE AND PRO Track up to five active purchases for free, with all capture methods, standard reminders, return steps, and refund tracking. BackBy Pro adds unlimited active purchases, custom reminder timing, and full recovered-money history. Choose a one-time lifetime purchase or an annual subscription; the current price appears in the app before purchase. The annual subscription renews unless you cancel it through your Apple account. IMPORTANT ABOUT STORE POLICIES Suggested policy dates currently cover selected US retailers only. Their rules have not yet been individually verified by BackBy's operator and may change by item, purchase channel, location, or season. Treat suggestions as estimates, check the retailer's current policy and your receipt, and set your own date when needed. You can use BackBy with any store by entering your own return date.
