Place Clock |
Imagine a clock that knows where you are.
A clock that remind you based on your location
and count the time you spend at differenet places.
|
The Place Clock application is designed as an improved and extended alternative
to the iPhones standard clock app. It provides all the alarm, stopwatch and timer
functions as the clock application does, but adds location based alarms and
functions along with extended snooze options. This allows you to set reminders
when you arrive, leave or get within a specified distance to a place of your choice.
You can also set location based stopwatches and timers to measure the time you spend
at a place or to get a an alert after spending a preset time there. The app is fully
background compatible and has a minimal impact on the phones battery time.
Here are some examples of what you can do with Place Clock...
- All your usual time alarms, stopwatches and timers.
- Measure how many hours you spend at work or gym
each day, week and month.
- Get an alert each day when you spent 8 hours at work.
- Get a reminder when you leave work to pick something
up on the way home.
- Have an alarm trigger a certain distance from your
train or buss station so you can safely take a nap.
- Have your wake-up alarm trigger at different times
if you are are sleeping at your own home or your
sweethearts home.
- Get a reminder every Tuesday and Thursday when
you get home to wash your uniform.
- Get a reminder when your favourite TV show starts
but only if you are at home.
- Get a reminder to buy something when you get close
to a shop but only on weekdays during opening hours.
