About

WhileHere

Read full description

WhileHere reminds you about tasks based on where you are — not what time it is. Create a task like "buy groceries," and WhileHere finds matching places near you and suggests them on the map. Pick your spots, set a radius, and forget about it. When you reach one of those places, your reminder appears — right when you can actually act on it. LEAVE-BASED REMINDERS Some tasks can't be done until you leave. Choose "When I leave" and your current location becomes the leave place — give it a name like "Apartment" if you like, and set how far you need to move away before it triggers. The moment you leave, you're notified that your reminder is set and your task places activate automatically. Arrive at one and your reminder appears. Leave home, remember the groceries, buy them on the way. WHY WHILEHERE • Remind by place • Smart place suggestions from your task title • Multiple places per task — whichever you reach first reminds you • Adjustable radius for every reminder • Track each leave task's progress: waiting to leave, on the way, done • Remind Later and Mark Done right from the notification • Works in the background ON YOUR DEVICE, ONLY Your tasks and places stay on your device. No account, no feed, no sharing. Location is used only to trigger your own reminders. Stop forgetting the task you drove right past. Put the reminder where the task is.
