App for location based reminders/alarms?
I’m looking for a nice app that can trigger reminders or alarms when I reach a certain location or connect to a certain wifi network.
I tried “Wifi Reminders” on #FDroid
https://f-droid.org/packages/ru.glesik.wifireminders/ but it didn’t work.
Ideally, it should be either open source or a one time purchase.
Thank you for any tips.

Google Assistant will do this. You just need to say something like “Remind me to fold the laundry when I get home”.
I use Tasker for that. I have reminders set up for when I arrive at work, when I leave work, when I get home, after I’ve been home for a while, and lots of other locations too. You can find tune the location. I have some set to a broad area. I have one that is just triggered when I’m in my driveway.
Thank you for all the suggestions everyone, I found out that the #OpenSource https://tasks.org app that I already use supports this feature!

@fell @android@lemmy.ml @android@lemmy.world @fdroid @android@a.gup.pe Tasks.org is a pretty amazing app!
For a long time I used ifttt but I stopped using it when they severely crippled free accounts. If you’re willing to fiddle around a bit, you can try automate, which is extremely versatile but has a bit of a learning curve. Play store link
@CaptainLemmit Thank you for the suggestion. It says it has In-App purchases, is there a subscription?
They offer a one time purchase for “premium” (I don’t remember the price because I purchased ages ago using play store credit I got from surveys mainly to support the devs). Here’s what the documentation says about it:
Free edition The free edition only has a single limitation, a maximum of 30 running blocks, that could be 15 running flows with two blocks, or a single running flow with 30 blocks. Unused/unconnected blocks within a flow are also counted. There’s no limit on inactive flows stored on the device. All features can be used with or without Premium purchase (if supported by device).
For only location, Google Keep has it, but I don’t know if it’s reliable. I mean, I use also use the home-assistant app, and it’s not always right about my location.
