1. A method comprising:
- receiving a user input on a mobile device, the user input identifying a physical location;
generating, on the mobile device in response to receiving the user input, a geofence around the physical location;
monitoring, on the mobile device, a current location of the mobile device;
determining, on the mobile device, when the current location of the mobile device is within the geofence; and
initiating an action on the mobile device, in response to determining that the mobile device is within the geofence, the action associated with the geofence and the physical location.
