Introducing Don't Forget: Never leave your essentials behind

General Description
Have you ever reached your destination only to realize you left your keys, wallet, or gym gear at home? We've all been there. Timer-based reminders aren't always helpful because life doesn't happen on a fixed schedule. You might leave for work at 8:00 AM today, but 9:00 AM tomorrow.
Don't Forget is a smart, location-based reminder app designed to solve this problem. Instead of notifying you at a specific time, it alerts you precisely when you cross a "geofence" boundary. Whether you're leaving your apartment or arriving at the office, Don't Forget ensures you have exactly what you need for that specific location.
Requirements
To provide accurate and timely alerts, Don't Forget requires the following:
- iOS: iPhone running iOS 15.0 or later.
- Android: Device running Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later.
- Location Services: Access to "Always" location permissions is required for the app to detect when you enter or leave areas while the screen is off or in your pocket.
- Notification Permissions: Necessary to send you the alerts before you get too far away!
Privacy First
We take your privacy seriously. Unlike many other apps, Don't Forget handles your data differently:
- Local Storage: All your locations, items, and schedules are stored locally on your device. We do not have servers that store your movement history.
- No Tracking: Your location data is used by the operating system to trigger local notifications. We do not track your whereabouts or sell your data to third parties.
- Offline Support: Since the processing happens on-device, your reminders work even when you have poor cellular reception.
How to get started
Setting up your first smart reminder is easy. Follow these four simple steps:
Pin a Location
Open the map and search for a recurring destination, like "Home" or "Office". Set the radius of your alert zone.
List your Items
What do you usually forget when leaving this place? Add items like Keys, ID Badge, Laptop Charger, or Sunglasses.
Set the Trigger
Choose whether you want to be reminded when Leaving (so you don't forget something at that place) or Arriving (so you don't forget something in the car/bus).
Ready to Go!
Now just go about your day. Don't Forget will watch your back and notify you at the perfect moment.
Step out of the door with total peace of mind.
