Don’t Leave It! Make Sure You Have Everything You Need Before You Leave Home or Work
iOS: It’s admittedly a bit silly to have an app that reminds you to grab your key or wallet before leaving home, or your lunch bag before leaving work for the day, but we all forget about these things from time to time, especially the fact that we deal with mental illness. Do not throw! helps to remember.
For iOS only (unfortunately for now), the app is free and just as useful for those of us who just keep forgetting our wallets and those of us struggling with dementia or Alzheimer’s. It uses geofencing to define an area around your home, work, or any other area around which it will remind you not to leave without first grabbing something. So, if you set up a reminder not to leave the bar without taking the credit card with which you opened the tab, or not to leave the house without making sure you have the keys, or not to leave your parents’ house without a phone charger the device you leave at the top, it will alert you before you are several feet away (the app says 60 steps, but that’s pretty amorphous) from where you set it up.
Don’t Leave It also tries to simplify the alert process, so you can generate it using any of the default items in its picklist (like keys, wallets, glasses, tablets, etc.) or add your own. The app also lets you add custom alerts and notes, and it works offline. It’s free and ad-supported, but you can opt out of ads with a $ 0.99 one-time in-app purchase.
