Help with When Did I…
When Did I… is designed to be simple, calm, and reliable. Here are answers to the most common questions.
How do I track something?
Tap Add, name the occasional activity, choose when you last did it, and optionally set a day, week, month, or year interval.
How do reminders work?
Turn on “Remind me around then” for an item. Notifications are optional and can be changed at any time in the app or in iOS Settings.
What does “Not now” do?
It gently defers the item without marking it complete, so your history stays accurate.
Where is my data stored?
Your items are saved on your device and shared with the app’s widgets. When you’re signed into iCloud, they can stay up to date across your devices. The app works offline and does not require a separate account.
How do I back up or export my data?
Open More, then choose Export my data to create a CSV copy of every item and recorded date.
How do I restore my purchase?
Open More and use Restore Purchases in the Unlimited Items section. The unlock is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
An item or widget is not updating
Open the app once, confirm that iCloud is available in More, and make sure the app and widget are using the same Apple ID. For reminders, confirm that notifications are allowed in iOS Settings.
Privacy
When Did I… does not track you and does not collect personal data. Your activity records remain on your devices and, when enabled, in your private iCloud account. No separate account is required.
