Your data is local

Not Today has no account or cloud sync. Your journey and private audio remain on your device. We cannot see, retrieve, or restore them. Clearing storage or uninstalling permanently removes app-private data.

Reminders are not appearing

1. Open Not Today Settings and confirm the reminder is enabled and scheduled.
2. In Android Settings, allow notifications for Not Today.
3. Check battery-saving or background restrictions that may delay scheduled notifications.
4. Restart the app and reschedule the reminder if the device time zone changed.

Microphone or audio problems

1. In Android Settings, allow microphone access for Not Today.
2. Make sure another app is not actively using the microphone.
3. Try a short recording in a quiet place.
4. If you prefer, use a text future-self message instead; audio is optional.

Restore “Remove ads forever”

1. Confirm Google Play is signed into the account that made the purchase.
2. Open Not Today → Settings → Restore purchases.
3. Keep an internet connection while Google Play checks the purchase.
4. If Google Play reports a billing problem, review the purchase in Play Store order history or contact Google Play support.

Exporting a progress PDF

PDFs are created offline. When you share one, the selected app or service receives that file. Choose a destination you trust and delete extra copies when you no longer need them.

Professional help and emergencies

App support cannot provide medical advice, counseling, diagnosis, or emergency assistance. A qualified healthcare professional or local cessation service can help with a quit plan and evidence-based support. If you may harm yourself or someone else, have severe symptoms, or face an emergency, contact your local emergency service immediately.
