Do I need Push-Notification to remind the user of something

I'm working on an app with CoreData which lets you type in items with a name and a date. Now I want the app to give the user a notification if the date of the item is, for example, in 5 days.

So an alert pops up and says: "Hey in 5 days is bla bla bla". So basicaly it's like the reminder app from Apple.

So the question is - do I need the PushNotification service to make this happen or is there another solution? I mean basically the whole app does not need any internet.

So what am I gonna do to make this feature? Do I need some kind of web server with a database?

You can definitely achieve this using Local Notifications. That way you will not need any internet connection at all. Here is a good tutorial:

Check the Local notification APIs. It works like the remote notification, but does not require internet and lets you schedule the notification event.
You'll find some sample code here
