BorrowBackAdd the loan
Record the item, who has it, and when it should come back. Type a name or link a contact.
Never forget what you lent.
BorrowBack keeps a quiet list of the things you have lent out and when they are due back — so the drill, the book and the camping stove all find their way home.
- Works offline
- No sign-up
- Private iCloud sync
Add it. Follow up.
Get it back.
Follow up when it matters
See what is due soon or overdue, then prepare a reminder for a linked contact without retyping the details.
Archive — or undo
Mark a returned item with a swipe. It moves to the archive and can be restored if the return was recorded by mistake.
Adding a loanOnly the details
Only the details
that help it come back.
Record what you lent, who has it, when it went out, and when you want it back. Type a name or link the borrower from the system contact picker.
- The loan date defaults to today but can be moved into the past
- Pick seven days, fourteen days, or a custom due date
- Open an active loan later to correct its details or extend the due date
Following upA thoughtful reminder,
A thoughtful reminder,
ready when you need it.
Link a borrower once and BorrowBack can prepare the message when a return date is getting close — or has already passed.
Link the right person
Choose someone with the system contact picker or simply type a name. BorrowBack cannot browse your contacts.
Write a reminder
For a linked contact with a phone number, BorrowBack prepares an editable SMS or iMessage with the item and due date.
Stay in control
Nothing is sent automatically. You review and confirm every reminder in the system message composer.
After the returnReturned, not
Returned, not
deleted.
Marking something as returned clears it from your overview but keeps it in the archive, with the date it went out and the date it came back.
- Swipe right to return, swipe left to delete for good
- The archive stays sorted by most recently returned
- Restore an archived loan if you marked it as returned by mistake
PrivacyEverything you need.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don’t.
BorrowBack is deliberately small. There is no BorrowBack account to create, no advertising profile and no upsell waiting a few screens in.
Private by design
Your loans stay available on your iPhone and can sync through your private iCloud account. BorrowBack cannot access your records.
No account, no tracking
No sign-up, no email, no analytics, no profile. Open the app and start.
Free, without the catch
No subscription, no paywalled features, no ads. The whole app is the free version.
Questions, answered.
Where is my data stored?
Locally on your iPhone, in the app's own database. When iCloud is available, your loans also sync through your private iCloud account so they stay up to date across your devices. BorrowBack cannot access your records.
What does BorrowBack cost?
Nothing. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase and no advertising. Every feature is available from the moment you install it.
Does it work offline?
Yes. You can view and change your loans without a network connection. Changes made offline sync through iCloud after you reconnect.
What happens to returned items?
A swipe marks a loan as returned and moves it to the archive, where it stays with its loan and return date in case you need to look it up later.
