Say it once. Lest reminds you at the right time, in the right place. "Take the chicken out of the freezer when I get home." That's the whole reminder. It goes off as you walk in the door, even with the app closed. No typing, no lists, no picking a time from a wheel. Easily change any time or location if needed. WHAT IT DOES • Place reminders. Say the store, the gym, home, work. Lest works out which one and fires when you arrive, or when you leave. • Looks up the time. "Record the next Texans game." "Remind me about the Severance finale." Lest finds when it's on and reminds you before it starts. • Remembers your places. Say "the gym" once and pick it on the map; every "the gym" after that is that gym. • Plain time reminders too. "Call the vet tomorrow at nine." Done. • Thoughts. Something worth keeping but no when yet? It lands in Thoughts instead of nagging you for a time. • Send one to a friend. "Send Jack a reminder to get protein bars" opens a text with it written out, and a reminder for him. HOW IT WORKS Speech is transcribed on your iPhone. Place reminders use iOS's own region monitoring, so your location never leaves the phone. There is no account and no sign-up. LEST PRO Everything above, with a free first month.
