It fires because you left.
Not because you opened something. Not because you set a time. Your iPhone watches the boundary around a saved place and wakes LastLook the second you cross it — with the app closed and the phone in your pocket.
The place, not a timer
Save the boundary once. Crossing it is the trigger, at whatever hour you happen to leave.
App closed, still watching
Region monitoring runs inside iOS, so quitting LastLook changes nothing about whether it fires.
It names what you had
The alert reads back the list you checked in with, rather than a vague nudge that you moved.
Say what you're carrying. Once.
Pick where you're going and tick what's in the bag. LastLook keeps that list against the place, so every trip after the first is one tap on a list you already trust.
Suggestions come from what you have carried before, so the list gets shorter, not longer.
Some things aren't an 'oh well'.
Mark the keys, the badge, the passport. A panic item gets its own alert with the thing named in the title, so you know what's wrong before you unlock the phone.
Everything else stays quiet. The app would rather say nothing than warn you wrongly.
Then it learns when you leave.
Head out from the same place at roughly the same time often enough and LastLook stops waiting for the boundary. The reminder comes ten minutes early, while the thing you forgot is still an arm's reach away.
Questions people actually ask.
How is this different from a checklist app?
A checklist only helps if you remember to open it, and remembering is the thing you're bad at. LastLook opens itself. You check in once when you arrive somewhere, and the app speaks up on its own the moment you leave — no tapping, no discipline, no habit to keep alive.
Does it work when the app is closed?
Yes. LastLook hands the boundary around each place to iOS region monitoring, which is part of the operating system rather than part of the app. The reminder still arrives after a force-quit, after a reboot, and with the phone locked in a pocket.
Will it drain my battery?
LastLook does not sit with GPS running. Region monitoring is the low-power path iOS provides for exactly this — the system notices the crossing and wakes the app for a moment, instead of the app watching your location all day.
Where do my saved locations go?
Coordinates are encrypted on your iPhone with AES-256-GCM before they are stored, using a key that lives in the device keychain. What syncs is ciphertext. LastLook does not keep a readable map of where you go.
Does it work with AirTags or Bluetooth trackers?
Partly, and the limit is worth stating plainly. LastLook listens for Bluetooth advertisements — it never connects to a device and it cannot know where one is. What it can tell is that you genuinely left a place and a device stopped being heard at the same moment. That is a useful signal, and it is the only one being claimed.
Who is it for?
People who leave the same few places carrying the same few things, and lose real time going back for them: commuters, gym-goers, students, parents on a school run, anyone with a badge or a charger that lives in a bag. It is also built for people with ADHD, for whom "just remember" has never been advice.
What does the free version include?
You can save places, stock them with items, check in, and get the leaving reminder without paying. Pro raises the limit on saved places, widens the activity history from five days to thirty, and unlocks Memory Insights. Current prices show inside the app, in your own currency.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. LastLook is iPhone-only today. The reminder depends on how tightly it can sit against the operating system, and that work is being done properly on one platform before it is done twice.
