Remind Me Now - Location-based reminders that actually trigger

by
Most reminder apps are time-based or depend on manually opening the app. Remind Me Now focuses on location-based reminders that trigger automatically in the background when you physically arrive somewhere. The launch emphasizes reliability and real-world testing, starting with the U.S. and Canada, to ensure location behavior works consistently before expanding to additional regions.

I built Remind Me Now because time-based reminders kept failing me in real life. I’d remember to do something… just not when I actually arrived where it mattered. Groceries when I got to a location, questions at appointments, things I needed once I arrived — alarms didn’t help because the timing was never the problem. So I focused on a simple idea: reminders that trigger when you physically arrive somewhere, automatically in the background. No timers to manage, no need to open the app — just “I’m here” → reminder. The biggest challenge wasn’t the UI, it was reliability. Location behavior varies a lot by device, OS version, and region, so I’ve taken a careful rollout approach — validating real-world behavior first (starting with the U.S. and Canada) before expanding further. The process forced me to think less about features and more about trust: if a reminder fires, it has to be right. I’d love feedback — especially around edge cases, expectations, or places where location-based reminders have failed you in the past. Happy to answer questions about the build, geofencing, or the many lessons learned creating this. 😊
