How can we help?
Cadora is made by one person. Mail lands in a mailbox that is read, not a ticket queue that isn't. Expect a reply within a few days, in English or Vietnamese.
Before you write
Two things make almost every problem faster to fix:
- The version and device. Settings → About shows them. If you write from inside the app — Settings → Report a bug — the version, build, iOS version and device model are appended for you, so there is nothing to look up.
- What you did, and what happened instead. "The reminder for Netflix on 3 August never arrived" is solvable. "Notifications are broken" needs a round trip before it is.
Never send a screenshot of anything you would not want a stranger to hold. Nothing about your items needs to reach us to answer most questions.
Common questions
Reminders and widgets
Both are on-device: nothing is pushed from a server, so anything that goes wrong is something you can check.
Reminders never arrived
Cadora's reminders are local notifications scheduled on the device. There is no server pushing them, so when one does not appear, the cause is on the device — and that is good news, because every cause is something you can check:
- Permission. iOS Settings → Notifications → Cadora. If notifications are off, nothing is delivered and the app cannot tell you so.
- The item has an alert at all. Open the item → Alerts. A lead time has to be set; an item with no alert is tracked but silent.
- Focus, and Scheduled Summary. A Focus mode can hold notifications back, and Scheduled Summary delivers them in a batch hours later rather than at the moment set.
- The date already passed. A reminder is scheduled ahead of a renewal date. Editing an item to a date in the past leaves nothing to fire.
If all four are right and it still stays quiet, mail us with the item's renewal date and the lead time you chose.
The widget is stale or empty
The widget reads a copy of your data shared from the app, and iOS decides how often to refresh it — a widget is not allowed to update on demand.
- Open the app once after installing or after a big change; that is what refreshes the copy.
- If it stays empty, remove the widget and add it again.
- On a brand-new device, let the app finish its first iCloud sync before judging the widget.
Premium, billing and cancelling
Apple holds the billing relationship, not us — which decides who can do what.
Cancelling something Cadora is tracking
Cadora tracks what you pay for. It cannot cancel it. You cancel with the provider — and where the provider publishes a cancellation page, the item's detail screen opens it for you.
Cadora never connects to your bank or card, and cannot make or stop a payment.
Your data, security and languages
There is no account, so most of this you can do yourself, immediately.
Your data, and getting rid of it
Everything you type stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. There is no Cadora server and no account, which is also why there is no "delete my account" button — there is no account to delete.
- Export — Settings → Export as CSV, or the yearly PDF report. Both are Premium.
- Delete one thing — delete the item, and its reminders and calendar entries go with it.
- Delete everything local — delete the app.
- Delete the synced copy — iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Cadora. Deleting the app alone does not remove what is already in your iCloud.
What is and is not collected is set out in the Privacy Policy, including the one thing that does reach a third party: banner ads for free users.
Passcode lock
If you set a passcode in Settings → Security and then forget it, we cannot reset it and nor can Apple. The passcode is not stored anywhere we can reach — only a PBKDF2 derivation of it, on your device. Deleting and reinstalling the app clears the lock along with the local database.
Languages
Cadora is translated into more than 30 languages and follows the language order in iOS Settings. To override it for Cadora alone, use Settings → General → Language inside the app.
Found a translation that reads wrong in your language? That is worth an email — machine translation gets finance wording subtly wrong, and a native speaker's correction is the only reliable fix.
