Suggestion for notification on Fitbit Versa when phone is out of range

[ps1004]

Hi

There are so many apps for finding your phone, but I think that a bigger problem is forgetting your phone, for example forgetting it at home when you leave or forgetting it on a table at the restaurant or cafe. One of my first connected watches was a cheap Chinese fitness band and it had a very nice option built-in that you had to enable: it would vibrate if you got out of Bluetooth range of your phone. Although that would slightly affect battery life it's still so useful that I can't understand why nobody makes an app for that. If I could find such an app I would surely be willing to pay for it.

Anybody know if such an app exists? Or maybe someone will develop one.
