A reminder plays an important role in every day life for everyone. People use various methods to remind themselves about daily tasks, events, meetings and etc. For example they use to-do list, stick notes, and date-time reminders in mobile phone. This research focuses on the development of location based reminder, a method of reminding people deployed on mobile phones. It implements the concept of context-aware in ubiquitous and is supported by location detection by GSMtechnologies. The project, L-Minder, will be an upgraded version of the existing time and date based reminder because of the location awareness and context awareness. The reminder will remind the users about the daily tasks, events, meetings and etc based on the desired location at which these events or tasks needed to be performed. Intensive research and literature review had been done in order to obtain as much useful information data to develop the project. Surveys had been done over a specific group of users to obtain dataon preferences, dislikes and other important information regarding the development of the system. The project will solve many problems that arise from both time and date based reminder and the existing location based reminders in the market.
