You're walking out the door. Hands full, mind already ahead of you — and the charger is still in the wall. Before You Go is the checklist that doesn't wait to be opened. Link a scenario to a departure time, a calendar event, or a place you leave, and at the moment you actually need it, the list taps YOU: "Hotel checkout in 40 minutes — passport, charger, room safe." HOW IT WORKS • Pick a scenario — Hotel Checkout, Daily Leave-Home, Gym Bag, School Run, Airport Run, or build your own • Tell it when to fire — at a time, before a calendar event, or when you leave a pinned place • Sweep before you go — a fast, full-screen flow you can clear in seconds, one thumb, no typing WHY IT WORKS • It fires before you forget — the reminder arrives while the forgotten thing is still within reach • Leave-by times — know when to start moving, not just when to be there • Night-before prep — a quiet heads-up the evening before early departures • Time-sensitive notifications cut through Focus, so the tap lands when it matters PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your iPhone. Location is used only on-device to notice when you leave places you pin — it is never recorded, stored, or transmitted. No account, no tracking, no ads.
