Did you ever forget to buy milk? This is a common problem many people have, the new Windows 10 app Toby can solve these kind of dilemmas and boost your efficiency in everyday life. Install the app on your smartphone and activate a reminder in just seconds without any typing.

Toby is a location-based shopping reminder – the idea behind the app is that once you figure you need to buy e.g. new milk today, you open the app, simply select milk and that’s it – you will get a reminder to buy milk once you’re close to a supermarket so you don’t come home at night to figure out you forgot to buy what you needed.

Of course you can add notes to the reminder and limit the notification to certain stores or times of the day i.e. you only want to receive notifications after leaving the office.

As this is the first version – the development team will work hard to improve the experience of the app and add more features like Cortana Integration and secondary Live Tiles – so you can set a reminder for your favorite product right from the start screen. Toby is available for free on Windows 10 as a native UWP app.
