About

Dropin

Features
Read full description

Pick a nearby place, tap Save, and your calendar keeps track of where you were and when. Dropin is an app that saves each check-in as a calendar event. Because it goes into your device’s calendar, you can see it in the Calendar app and on any other device that syncs the same calendar. No account required. ■ KEY FEATURES • Check in with as few as two taps Just pick a place and save. The start time is already set to the current time, and the end time uses your default duration. • Pick a nearby place fast As soon as you open a new event, Dropin starts finding places around you in Apple Maps. Frequently visited places near you appear at the top, ordered by how often you use them, so your usual café or office is usually the first row. You can also search by name. • Start from outside the app Add the Check In control to Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action button, or use the Check In action in the Shortcuts app. Either way, Dropin opens straight to nearby places. • Edit later Your check-ins are listed by date in the app. Tap one to edit it, or touch and hold to delete it. ■ GREAT FOR • Logging lunch breaks • Tracking hours at a café or coworking space • Remembering gym days and doctor visits • Keeping track of places you stop by on a trip ■ GOOD TO KNOW • Dropin needs full access to your calendar. • Without location access, you can still check in from your location history or by typing a place name.
