StopBy

Location-aware errand intelligence — anywhere in the world.


You don’t need to know where the local pharmacy is.

StopBy already does. Add an errand by voice. We’ll quietly tell you when you’re nearby — at home or anywhere in the world.

The travel difference

Other apps assume you already know where things are. StopBy doesn’t.

South Island road trip

“Fish and chips for dinner” added between Geraldine and Timaru. StopBy flags a chippy on your route.

Business trip, Singapore

Charger cable failed. You don’t know the local chains. Walking back to the hotel — alert.

Family holiday, Bali

A child needs antihistamines. You don’t speak the language. StopBy flags pharmacies near your beach club.

Voice-first, by design

For the moments when typing isn’t an option.

Earlier · anywhere, hands-free

“Hey Siri, add cat food to my pets list in StopBy.”

Later · when you’re nearby

“Animates is 800 metres ahead. Cat food’s on your list.”

For households

No more “we both bought milk.”

A shared list for the whole household. Whoever’s near a matching store gets the alert. Tap “I’ll grab it” to claim the errand. Up to five family members.

Privacy

Your location never leaves your phone.

We don’t see it. We don’t sell it. We don’t have it.

On-device matching. Errands are matched against nearby stores on your iPhone, not on a server.

End-to-end encrypted sync. Family lists travel via Apple’s CloudKit. We don’t have the keys.

No ads. Ever. StopBy is paid for by people who use it, not by people buying their attention.
