Today in History

Privacy and Support

Effective date: June 17, 2026

Today in History is a reference app by Jorge Aguirre. It presents a Daily Edition for a selected day, related source context, saved edition history, optional notifications, and optional Twistory alternate-history features.

Data Sources

The app loads historical event data from Wikimedia on-this-day sources. These requests are used to fetch the public historical records shown in the app.

Information Stored on Device

The app stores settings on your device, including notification preferences, selected history interests, reading preferences, haptic preferences, saved events, saved Daily Edition snapshots, saved Twistory branches, and the local free-use count for Twistory.

AI Features

Follow-up questions may use Apple's on-device Foundation Models when available. Twistory sends the selected historical event context and your entered prompt or follow-up question through a server-side proxy operated for the app, which forwards the request to DeepSeek so it can generate a response. The app does not include the DeepSeek API key on device.

Do not enter private, sensitive, or confidential information into AI prompt fields.

Saved events, saved Daily Edition snapshots, interest preferences, notification preferences, and Twistory branches are stored for app functionality and are not used to track you across other apps or websites.

Purchases

Subscriptions and purchase restoration are handled by Apple's StoreKit and App Store systems. The app checks local StoreKit entitlement status to unlock subscription features.

Data Not Used for Tracking

Today in History does not sell personal information, use third-party advertising SDKs, or use data to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies.

Support

For support, include the app name, app version, device model, iOS version, and a short description of the issue. If your question is about billing, subscriptions, cancellation, or refunds, manage those through your Apple Account or Apple Support.
