Privacy detailsFrequently asked questions
Clear answers to practical questions.
Where are my ministry notes stored?
All core notes and records live strictly on your physical iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch. Return does not maintain developer servers, user accounts, or cloud databases. If you choose to use Return Supporter, sync uses your personal iCloud database, which is encrypted and accessible only to you.
Can anyone else read or collect what I write?
No. Return has no analytics, no third-party trackers, no advertisements, and no cloud AI models processing your notes. Structured suggestions run on your hardware. Return uses Apple’s Speech Recognition and requests on-device recognition to turn speech into text; iOS may disclose that speech data can be sent to Apple for speech recognition, and Return has no server that receives your recording. The recording is deleted after you review the note.
What happens if I cancel Return Supporter?
Nothing is ever deleted or locked. Every note, person, and visit already saved on your devices remains intact and completely accessible. Sync simply stops between devices, and plain-text export remains available at all times.
Does Return work without an internet connection?
Yes. Return is designed offline-first. You can capture notes, review previous conversations, run ministry timers, and use compass-guided wayfinding to find saved doors even with zero cell service or Wi-Fi.
What Apple devices and OS versions are supported?
Return is built natively for iOS 26.2 or later, iPadOS 26.2 or later, and watchOS 26.0 or later, and is fully architected to work smoothly with upcoming iOS 27 releases.
How can I install Return?
Return is available to download directly on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
