First, I want to make sure I'm not reinventing the wheel. What I want to be able to do:
Once I am at a place (so that GPS location is available) I want to be able to enter that into the app and attach a reminder for something to do when I am there so that, the next time I am there, I get a reminder based on location.
Is there anything like this?
Short answer: yes—your idea already exists, built-in.
The simplest way (no new app): Apple Reminders
Reminders supports location-based alerts. While you’re physically at the place, create a reminder → tap Location → pick the place (search, recent, or adjust the map pin) → choose When I Arrive. Next time you come back, you’ll get an alert. Apple’s docs explicitly list location alerts and how to add them. Apple Support+1
Power-user option: Shortcuts Automations
If you want something more customized (e.g., run an action when you arrive), you can set a Personal Automation → Arrive at a chosen location. iOS lets you adjust the geofence radius on a map. Apple Support
