Nearby reminders
Remember when you arrive.
Pin your grocery store on the map, choose a radius, and HomeList reminds you the moment you're nearby — even when the app is closed. It runs on the OS geofencing engine: battery-efficient, no continuous tracking.

Animated demo of the HomeList map picker: a coral pin drops onto a stylized map, a reminder-radius circle grows through the 250 m, 500 m and 1 km quick-picks, a 17:00–19:00 weekday time window is shown, and an arrival notification — “You're nearby: Don't forget: Groceries” — slides in. A caption notes 3 of 20 tracked places used.
PICK THE PLACE
Search it, tap it, or stand there
The map picker takes a search (“Search a place or address”), a tap on the map, or your current location — and previews the reminder zone as a circle before you save. A list can hold several places, each with its own on/off switch.
TUNE THE ZONE
From the corner shop to the whole town
Quick-pick a radius — 250 m, 500 m, 1 km — or spin the custom wheel up to about 10 km for “when I arrive in town”. Then choose how often it fires: once per visit, at most every few hours, or every time you arrive.
- Radius chips 250 m / 500 m / 1 km + custom wheel to ~10 km
- Once per visit · At most every few hours · Every time I arrive
ON YOUR SCHEDULE
Only when it suits you
Add an optional time window — say 17:00–19:00 on weekdays for the shop by the office — with overnight windows supported. Outside the window, HomeList stays quiet.
RELIABLE, NOT NEEDY
Works closed. Sleeps when you're done.
Reminders fire when the app is backgrounded, killed, even after a reboot — the OS geofencing engine does the watching, so there's no persistent notification and no battery-hungry tracking. When the list is completed, the reminder disarms itself and re-arms when items return.
Nearby reminders — details that matter.
