Location Reminders

Get reminders on arrival and on departure for your personal tasks.

Updated over a week ago

Any.do's Location Reminders are a simple and easy way to stay on top of your tasks as you go through your day. By setting a location reminder such as 'pick up flowers' and choosing the location of your favorite flower shop you will get notified as soon as you're in close proximity to execute that item.

Availability:

  • Personal users (free).

  • Premium users.

  • Family users.

  • Teams users.

  • Supported on Android and iOS only.


πŸ› οΈ How does it work?

  • You can add a location reminder to any of the items in your standard lists (excluding Smart Grocery Lists).

  • You can set location reminders from the task-menu only and not through the quick add bar.

  • Location reminders can be set for 'arrival' or 'departure' and you can save your favorite places for quick setup.

  • You can even add "Favorite Locations" so that you can add them to any task quickly and easily.

  • Location reminders are recurring by nature. As long as the location reminder is active (task has not been completed), the reminder will keep on notifying when arriving/leaving the desired location.

Note: If the task already has a due date/ reminder set you will need to first remove the reminder/ due date in order to set a location reminder.

Note: Device location-permissions are required on order for this type of reminder to be generated.
