Location Reminders

What is it?

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. 

Who has access?

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 task-menu only and not through the quick add bar. 
  • 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.
  • 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.
