There are two types of notifications on an iOS device, Local Notifications and Push Notifications. Local notifications are triggered by the device itself, while Push Notifications are sent ("pushed") from a server to your device. HiFutureSelf uses Local Notifications, which means your messages are not sent to a server. They are kept on your device, and work even if you're offline.

1. Privacy: The HiFutureSelf app uses local notifications. You don't send your data to a server. Your notification reminders and messages stay on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Offline Operation: The app does not need an interent connection to work! Your time based notifications will trigger even if you're offline.
3. Battery Eficiency: Since HiFutureSelf never sends data to a server or waits for a response it saves energy on your iOS device!

There is no charge for HiFutureSelf notifications!

Time based notifications do not need an internet connection! Only location based notifications require an internet connection for a map to be loaded. Time based notifications in HiFutureSelf operate completely offline!

No! Your notifications never leave your iOS device.
