The most frustrating GIF 📡

Your phone's GPS might be the hidden feature nobody talks about. While Uber and Lyft snagged the headlines and VC dollars, a wave of productivity apps are here to make life a little better.

⏰ WakeMeHere is a location-based alarm app that'll make sure you don't miss your stop on the commute. Trust us – waking up in an unfamiliar subway stop is about as fun as realizing the above GIF loops. 😂

🎨 GPS-A-Sketch lets you turn your run, bike ride, or walk into a giant Etch-A-Sketch. Draw all over your city.

📍 Visits lets you find places that you might have forgotten by automatically keeping track of all the places you’ve been to. Similar to Moves, which was acquired by Facebook in 2014.

✅ Anon Tasks and SKreminder remind you of tasks to do while you're at any specific location. Perfect for remembering to catch up with your old friends, running errands, or eating at that one burger place your friend recommended.

💬 Holo and WallaMe are apps that let you leave geofenced messages, discoverable only when your friends travel to that exact location.

🚖 Joyride is like HQ Trivia but for your Uber ride. Answer a number of questions during your ride. Win and your ride is free!

GPS productivity

Are you really still typing?

Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
