Future Platform Announcement

Advertise at the Perfect Time.

Reach people exactly when they actually need your product—not while they're scrolling.

When is an offline-first timeline assistant. Instead of interrupting users with unrelated banners, When displays contextually relevant, privacy-safe recommendations precisely when an item, license, subscription, or warranty expires.

Why Advertise on When?

A paradigm shift in digital advertising: utility instead of attention harvesting.

Contextual recommendations

Your products or services appear only when directly related to the user's active item category, ensuring high contextual relevance.

High purchase intent

Engage with users when they are inspecting an expiring asset, renewal notice, or empty stock. Intent to act is at its peak.

Privacy-first core

All triggers are processed locally on the user's device. No browsing history, cookie tracking, or user profiles are sent to the cloud.

No interruptive ads

No banners blocks, autoplay videos, or screen takeovers. Your campaigns appear as helper options inside the user's action panel.

Offline-first architecture

Campaign definitions are stored in a secure local indexes. Triggers run instantly and privately without active internet dependencies.

Relevant over intrusive

By matching genuine utility instead of capturing attention, your brand creates a positive impression and resolves a real-life need.
