Summary: MilestonePrep is a local event preparation tool that helps you organize and track preparation tasks for important milestones. All data is stored on your device. No account is required.

2. Description of Service

MilestonePrep is an iOS application that enables users to:

  • Create milestone events with target dates (exams, travel, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, interviews, moving, and more)
  • Manage preparation checklists organized by phases (Early, Mid, Near)
  • Track preparation progress with visual indicators and completion statistics
  • Receive phased local notifications as reminders at key countdown milestones
  • Optionally sync events to the iOS Calendar via EventKit
  • View countdown information via home screen and lock screen widgets
  • Record event notes and reflections in an event journal
  • Get tailored preparation suggestions based on event type

3. Local Data Storage

All data created within MilestonePrep — including events, preparation items, notes, and settings — is stored exclusively on your device. We do not operate any servers or cloud storage.

Important: Uninstalling the App will permanently delete all your data. We recommend maintaining regular iCloud or iTunes device backups to prevent data loss.

  • Maintain your own device backups to prevent data loss

5. Notifications and Calendar

MilestonePrep uses local notifications and optional calendar integration:

  • Notifications: Phase-based reminders are processed entirely on your device via Apple's local notification system. No notification data is transmitted externally.
  • Calendar Sync: If authorized, events are synced to your local iOS Calendar using EventKit. Calendar data remains on your device and is governed by Apple's privacy controls.
  • Both features are optional and can be disabled in iOS Settings at any time.
  • We are not responsible for missed notifications or calendar events due to device settings, system limitations, or low power mode.
