Back To Now app for iPhone and iPad

Back To Now is a “mindfulness reminder” app that helps bring you back to the present moment. Version 1.1.0 brings notifications to the app.

How It Works

To use Back To Now, just (a) add your favorite quotes, and then (b) set up a notification schedule. After that, Back To Now will send you random quotes as text reminders during the day, according to the schedule you set up.

When you tap a notification, Back To Now will show that notification in a full-screen mode, and any other time you return to Back To Now it will show a random notification in full-screen mode. From there you can tap the Home icon to return to your list of quotes, or tap the Refresh icon to see a new quote.

A few important notes:

1. Back To Now works locally on your phone. It doesn’t access a network in any way, so all of your data is only stored on your phone. Your quotes are completely private for you.

2. Please don’t use Back To Now as any sort of timer. Because of the way notifications have to work (technical reasons), the app often resets its notification times, so the actual times you receive notifications can be unpredictable. Please use other clock and timer apps for that purpose.
