SpotStapler pins your to-dos to places. Save a location, and the moment you arrive, you get a reminder — even when the app is closed. We forget things tied to places all the time: • Check the shopping list when you reach the store • Submit a document when you get near the office • Grab a package when you get home • Confirm an appointment when you approach the clinic Time-based reminders don't help when what matters is WHERE you are. SpotStapler fills that gap. HOW IT WORKS 1. Search a place or drop a pin on the map 2. Add a title and a reminder message 3. Get notified automatically the moment you arrive KEY FEATURES • Location-based alerts that fire when you arrive • Works in the background — no need to keep the app open • Simple, map-first place saving • Adjustable arrival radius (100m / 200m / 500m) FREE & PREMIUM Save one place for free. Upgrade to Premium to add unlimited location alerts. Pin a place. Never forget again. SUBSCRIPTION Premium (auto-renewable): $0.99 / month. Your subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings after purchase.
