Location reminders

Reminders pinned to places, not times. They fire when you arrive, not while you're driving.

You: remind me to talk to the manager next time i'm at the gym
Pally: done, pinned to your gym on 3rd. it'll fire when you walk in.
You: nice. one for whole foods too: olive oil
Pally: pinned 🫒 two place reminders live. i'll only nudge you when you're there.

The routine

How it works

TTexts

"Remind me at 2pm" fails when 2pm finds you on the highway. Share your location with Pally once, then tell it the place instead. The reminder fires when you get there.

  1. Share your location with Pally once; it asks the first time you set a place reminder.
  2. Pally pins the note to that spot and waits.
  3. When you arrive, the reminder comes through.
The full routine

Share your location with Pally once; it asks the first time you set a place reminder. Then name the task and the place: olive oil at the grocery store, a question for the gym manager.

Pally pins the note to that spot and waits. If the place name is vague, it checks which location you mean.

When you arrive, the reminder comes through. Reply to move it to another branch, change the note, or remove it.

Good for

  • Remembering one item when you reach the grocery store
  • Raising a question on the next visit to the gym
  • Handling a return when you pass the right shop
  • Picking something up at a particular branch
  • Replacing badly timed alerts for place-dependent errands

Things to try

You: remind me to get olive oil when i'm at whole foods
You: next time i reach the gym, remind me to ask about my membership
You: use the shop on market street, not the one near work
You: change that reminder to ask about the return policy too

Before you start

Common questions

What do I need to set up?

Share your location with Pally. It asks the first time you set a place reminder.

What if there are several places with the same name?

Give the branch, street, or neighborhood. If it's still unclear, Pally asks which one you mean.

Can I change the place later?

Yes. Reply with the new place or a new note and Pally updates the reminder.
