NearBy Reminders

Nearby Reminders is a smart, location-aware reminder app designed for everyday Australian life. Create lists like “Buy milk at Coles” or “Pick up screws from Bunnings”, and get a gentle reminder when you’re near the right store. No more forgetting your errands — the app recognises store names automatically and alerts you at just the right time. Key Features Smart Lists – Create multiple lists for groceries, errands, or DIY projects. Auto-Detect Retailers – Automatically recognises names like Coles, Woolies, Bunnings, Aldi, IGA, JB Hi-Fi, Kmart, and more. Smart Geofencing – Uses iOS’s efficient location engine to notify you only when you’re truly nearby. Battery-Friendly – Built using Apple’s native geofencing technology, optimised for minimal battery use. Mark Items Done – Check items off as you shop. Grouped Notifications – Get a single alert per store with all matching items. Notification History – Review all past alerts in the Notifications tab. Profile & Usage – First 50 notifications are free, then upgrade for unlimited use. How It Works Create your first list and add items naturally: “Milk at Coles” “Bread at Woolies or Coles” “Paint brush from Bunnings” Nearby Reminders detects store names automatically. When you’re near that store, you’ll get a notification — e.g. “You’re near Coles. Don’t forget milk!” Privacy & Data Nearby Reminders does not collect or share any personal data. All lists, items, and notifications are stored securely on your iPhone using Apple’s Core Data. Location access is used only on-device to detect nearby stores — no external servers are involved. You can revoke location access at any time in Settings. Battery Efficiency Nearby Reminders relies on iOS’s native region monitoring API (Core Location) — the same system Apple Maps uses. This means: Location is not constantly polled. The app sleeps in the background and wakes only when iOS detects you’ve entered a geofence region. Battery impact is minimal, even with multiple lists and stores. Pricing First 50 location notifications are free. Unlock unlimited notifications with a one-time $5 upgrade.
