Checkmark is a handy new reminder app for iPhone

Checkmark is a handy new app for your iPhone from Snowman. Checkmark is basically the same as Apple's Reminders with unique, useful features. Checkmark is also apparently faster than Apple's Reminders.

Checkmark builds on location-based reminders. What's nice is that you can create buttons for oft-visited locations (and choose a custom icon) for fast reminder creation.

"I've got my kids' schools, the post office, grocery store and less concrete spots like the bus stop and what I call "my neighborhood." Events can be triggered when I arrive, depart or, get this, within a certain time after arrival or departure. For example, 'Remind me [X] fifteen minutes after I arrive at the library.'"

Once things are set up, a reminder can be created with three taps. That beats Reminders and is a heck of a lost faster than Siri's hit-or-miss dictation translation.

Snowman has teased the app today, and we thing that it will launch soon.
