Pinping turns your iPhone into a smart location-based reminder system. Instead of time-based alarms you forget, Pinping alerts you exactly when you arrive near a place that matters. HOW IT WORKS Drop a pin anywhere on the map with a long press. Set a reminder radius — from 100 meters to 500 meters. Add a note and emoji so you instantly know what the reminder is about. Pinping notifies you the moment you step into that area, even when the app is completely closed. EVERYDAY LIFE • Grocery store: "Pick up milk" triggers when you arrive at the supermarket • Pharmacy: "Collect prescription" alerts you as you pass by • Home: "Water the plants" when you get back WORK & PRODUCTIVITY • Office: "Reply to client" fires when you reach the office • Meeting point: "Grab the files" reminds you at the building entrance • Job site: "Check inventory" activates when you arrive on location KEY FEATURES • Long press anywhere on the map to drop a pin in seconds • Custom emoji and note for every pin — instant recognition • Adjustable reminder radius per pin • Repeating or one-time alerts — your choice • Pause and reactivate pins without deleting them • Up to 20 active location pins (iOS geofencing system limit) • All location data stays on your device — never sent to any server • Battery-friendly: uses iOS native geofencing, not continuous GPS tracking PINPING PREMIUM The free plan includes 2 pins — enough to try the app. Premium unlocks up to 20 simultaneous active pins and all future features. • Monthly: auto-renewable subscription • Yearly: save over 30% compared to monthly • Lifetime: one-time purchase, yours forever PRIVACY FIRST Your pins, notes, and location data never leave your device. Pinping does not collect, store, or sell your location. Only your email address is used for account login via Firebase Authentication.
