Halo turns places into reminders. Save a spot on the map and get notified when you arrive, when you leave, or both. THE RIGHT THING. THE RIGHT PLACE. Create location-based reminders for home, work, the supermarket, the gym, the pharmacy or anywhere else. Search for an address, place a pin on the map and choose the radius that makes sense for you. SMART TRIGGERS • On arrival, on departure or both • Custom radius for every spot • Optional days and time window • Repeat forever or fire once and archive automatically • Pause a reminder without deleting it MORE THAN A SIMPLE ALERT Keep useful content attached to each place: • To-do checklists • Numbered and bulleted lists • Notes and text • Links to pages • Images • Categories for quick filtering Your shopping list can be waiting when you reach the store. A parcel reminder can appear when you arrive at work. A “don’t forget the keys” alert can fire when you leave home. MADE FOR EVERYDAY USE See all your spots on one map, filter them by category and open a distance-sorted list whenever you need it. Search nearby places, reuse reminders, edit them anytime and act directly from notifications with quick actions such as Done or Remind me in 30 min. Halo also supports Siri and Shortcuts with “Remind me here” so you can quickly create a one-time reminder at your current location. Background location reminders require notification permission and “Always” location access so iOS can notify you even when Halo is closed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Halo at Free against Notato's $4.99. Notato's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
