Location-based services have become an essential component of modern mobile applications, enabling context-aware functionality based on user location. However, most existing reminder systems are time-based and fail to provide relevant notifications for tasks that depend on geographic context. This limitation reduces the effectiveness of reminders in real-world scenarios. To address this issue, this paper proposes GeoReminder, an intelligent location-based reminder application that utilizes GPS and geofencing techniques to deliver context-aware notifications. Initially, user-defined reminder data, including location coordinates, radius, and task details, are collected and stored using cloud-based services. The system continuously monitors the user’s real-time location and preprocesses location data to ensure accuracy and efficiency. A distance calculation mechanism based on geographic coordinates is implemented to determine proximity between the user and predefined locations. When the user enters a specified geofence boundary, the system triggers notifications using local notification services. The application integrates key modules such as authentication, real-time location tracking, proximity detection, and cloud database management. Additionally, the system is optimized to reduce battery consumption by using periodic location updates instead of continuous tracking. The results are presented through an intuitive user interface with interactive map visualization for better usability. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system significantly improves the relevance and effectiveness of reminders compared to traditional time-based approaches, thereby enhancing user productivity and task management.
