Run your life. Not after it. Squirrel Around is a geo-triggered shared task manager for households. Tag the places you already go, attach the errands that belong there, and get notified the moment you’re nearby, even if the app is closed. Oh look, a squirrel. We remembered for you. WHAT IT DOES • Tag grocery stores, pharmacies, the gym, school — any place you visit • Attach errands to each place (eggs, pickup prescription, pay membership) • Get an automatic ping when you arrive • Share lists with family or roommates so someone else can knock it out • See household wins when a task is completed • Earn badges as you actually get things done WHY IT WORKS Most to-do apps wait for you to open them. Squirrel Around works in the background. If you’re already at the store, it tells you what you came for. FOR HOUSEHOLDS Create a group, invite with a code, and share errand lists. When someone completes a task, the rest of the household sees it. No more “I thought you grabbed milk.
