Another method performed by a user device may include determining a geographical position of the user device, receiving reminder information that is tied with the geographical position, receiving a selection of a user in which the reminder information and the geographical position pertains, and notifying the user of the reminder information a next time that the user device is at or within a specified distance from the geographical position. A further method performed by a user device may include determining a geographical position of the user device, creating a text message that integrates the geographical position in an attachment that causes a recipient user device to perform an automatic wake-up call of a position-based application for locating the geographical position of the user device, and transmitting the text message that integrates the geographical position to the recipient user device.

Position-based tags, reminders, and messaging

A method performed by a user device includes receiving a request to open a first application associated with a selected file; retrieving, in response to the request, information regarding a user interface (UI) associated with the first application via which multiple operations on the selected file are automatically performed, and a set of second applications automatically associated with the first application based on a frequency of use of each of the second applications in performing respective ones of the multiple operations with respect to other files via the user device, the information regarding the UI including: information associated with a UI icon corresponding to the first application, and information identifying a set of icons, that each correspond to a respective different one of the set of second applications; presenting, via a display, the UI icon and the identified set of icons, based on the information regarding the UI; receiving, via the UI icon, an instruction to move the selected file to one of the identified set of icons; and performing a selected operation on the selected file using an identified application, of the set of second applications, that corresponds to the one of the identified set of icons.

File management and transfer using user interface icons associated with applications

A user device to receive a request to open an application associated with a file; retrieve information regarding a remora user interface (UI) associated with the application via which operations on the file are automatically performed, where the information regarding the remora UI includes information associated with a UI corresponding to the application, and information associated with a group of remora icons that correspond to a group of other applications, each of the group of remora icons corresponding to a respective different one of the group of other applications; present, for display, the remora UI based on the information regarding the remora UI; receive, via the remora UI, an instruction to transfer the file to one of the group of remora icons; and performs the operation on the file using a particular application, of the group of other applications, that corresponds to the one of the group of remora icons.
