About this app

Forget the clock. PingMeThere reminds you where it matters.

Drop a pin on the map, close the app, pocket your phone — and when you arrive, your
screen wakes up with a full-screen alarm you cannot miss.

★ NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING. NO ADS.
Your pins, notes and history are stored on your phone and nowhere else. There is no
sign-up, because there is no user profile anywhere. No analytics SDK, no advertising
identifiers, no location history on any server. The only thing that ever leaves your
device is a purchase receipt, and only if you buy PRO.

WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📍 LOCATION ALARMS THAT ACTUALLY FIRE
Set a pin anywhere and choose the radius. Get alerted when you ARRIVE, when you LEAVE,
or both. It keeps working with the screen off and the app closed.

🔔 A FULL-SCREEN ALARM, NOT A NOTIFICATION YOU SWIPE AWAY
Your alert takes over the lock screen, with sound, vibration and snooze. Pick Bell,
Piano, Birds, Digital Beep or a classic Old Alarm Clock.

⏱️ WARNED BEFORE YOU ARRIVE, NOT AS YOU ARRIVE (PRO)
Ask for the alarm 2, 5 or 10 minutes ahead and the app works out the timing from your
actual speed. On a bus or a train, that is the difference between getting off at your
stop and watching it go past.

🛣️ ROUTE ALERTS
Most apps watch a single point. PingMeThere watches an entire route, with a width you
set — perfect for "remind me anywhere along the way home".

🗣️ SPOKEN ALERTS AND VOICE INPUT
Driving? Your phone reads the reminder out loud, and you can dictate it.

📝 NOTES AND SHOPPING LISTS ON EVERY PIN
Attach a list to the supermarket pin. It opens itself the moment you walk in.

📤 SEND A PING TO SOMEONE ELSE
Share an alert as a link. When the other person opens it, the reminder lands in their
app, ready to save. No accounts on either side.

⏰ ONLY WHEN YOU WANT IT
Set active days and hours. Mon–Fri, 08:00–18:00 means your weekend stays quiet.
Leaving early? One tap watches you for the next two hours.

🚗 SMART ARRIVAL TRACKING
The app checks your position more often the faster you move and relaxes when you are
still — so a 90 km/h arrival is not a missed one, and a parked phone is not a drained
battery.

🗺️ OPENSTREETMAP, SEARCH AND FAVOURITES
Search any destination, save favourites, or paste coordinates and Google Maps links.

WHO USES IT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• People who remember things at the wrong time — in bed at 11pm, not at the pharmacy.
• Commuters who fall asleep on the train and wake up three stops late.
• Drivers and couriers who need the note at the address, not in a notebook.
• Parents juggling pickups, prescriptions and "when you get home, please…".
• Anyone who refuses to hand their location history to another cloud service.

PRICING — HONEST AND SIMPLE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

FREE: 1 pin monitored at once, forever. No ads, no time limit, no watermark.
PRO: one payment of $4.99. Up to 10 pins monitored at the same time, arrival warnings
2-10 minutes ahead, and all premium alarm sounds.

The limit applies to the number of points tracked simultaneously. The operating system monitors a limited number of zones per application, and ten leaves a comfortable margin below that ceiling; we prefer ten pins tracked accurately over twenty tracked haphazardly.

No subscription. No renewal. No "PRO+". You buy it once and it is yours.

ABOUT PERMISSIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

PingMeThere asks for background location because a reminder that only works while you
stare at the screen is not a reminder. It is used for one thing: comparing your
position to your own pins, on your device.

Scheduled pins wake monitoring a few minutes early, so the GPS is warm when the hours
you set begin. If your phone blocks that, you get a notification at the exact minute
with a Start button, instead of an alarm that quietly never rings.
