Reminders that show up when you do.
Reminders that show up when you do.
On iPhone, websites can’t check your location in the background. That’s an Apple rule for web apps, not a bug.
About a block. Good for a store you'll walk or drive into.
On iPhone, checks where you are only while it’s open on screen. That’s a limit Apple puts on every web app, not a bug. Keep it open on the way and it alerts you the moment you arrive.
Tip: for a drive, turn on Keep screen on, or set a longer Auto-Lock in Settings › Display & Brightness.
Save a reminder at a place. When you get there with open, it tells you right away.
Write what you need to do, like “Pick up challah.”
Search a store or address, or tap the map to drop the pin right where you want it.
The radius is how near you need to be. 250 m works for most stores. Go bigger for a whole mall or campus.
Once is for a one-off errand. Every visit reminds you each time you arrive, like “grab the mail at the office.”
Add a time window and it stays quiet outside it. Arrive at 11 PM with a 9–5 window and nothing goes off.
Set it for later and it waits under Upcoming until that day comes.
A card pops up with a chime. Tap Mark done, or Later. If notifications are on, a banner shows too.
Or tap the circle. It moves to Done, with Undo if you slip.
Tap a reminder to change anything about it.
Inside a reminder, turn it off for now without losing it. Turn it back on any time.
iPhone doesn’t let web apps check location in the background, so Derman watches while it’s on screen. The Watching badge up top means it’s checking.
In Safari tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. It opens full screen and can show notifications.
Your reminders stay on your phone.

Put on your Home Screen and it opens full screen like a regular app. It’s also the only way iPhone allows notifications from a web app.
The square with the arrow, at the bottom of Safari.
Scroll down the list if you don’t see it, then tap Add.
Allow location, and notifications if you want banners. Your reminders from Safari don’t carry over, so add them there.
