Following up

A thoughtful reminder,
ready when you need it

Choose when to follow up with a message you can edit before sending.

  1. Link the right person

    For an active loan, link a contact with a phone number. If several numbers are available, choose one for reminders. BorrowBack only receives details from the contact you select.

  2. Write a reminder

    Open a suggested message with the item and due date already filled in. Edit it to make it your own.

  3. Stay in control

    Review the message before sending it by SMS or iMessage, or copy the text to use in another app. Nothing is sent automatically.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which devices and iOS versions are supported?

BorrowBack is designed for iPhone and requires iOS 26 or later. The app is available in English and German and follows your app or system language settings.

Where is my data stored, and do I need iCloud?

Your loans are stored on your iPhone and work without iCloud. If iCloud is enabled for BorrowBack in your device settings, they also sync through your private iCloud account across devices signed in to the same Apple Account. We cannot access your loan records.

Does BorrowBack support accessibility features?

Yes. BorrowBack supports VoiceOver and Voice Control, so you can manage your loans using spoken feedback or voice commands.

What does BorrowBack cost?

BorrowBack is free to download and use. All features are included, with no subscriptions, in-app purchases, or ads.

Does it work offline?

Yes. You can view and change your loans without a network connection. If iCloud is enabled for BorrowBack, offline changes sync after you reconnect.

How do reminders work?

You choose when to write a reminder. For an active loan linked to a contact with a phone number, BorrowBack prepares an editable message with the item and due date. You confirm sending it by SMS or iMessage, or copy the text to use elsewhere. Copy also works when your device cannot send messages. Nothing is sent automatically.
