1. A method comprising:
determining, at a first computing device, that a user, via interaction with the first computing device, set a proximity-based reminder;
in response to determining that the user set the proximity-based reminder:
providing, to a second computing device, an indication of the proximity-based reminder, wherein providing the indication of the proximity-based reminder to the second computing device causes the second computing device to, when in short-range communication with the first computing device:
determine whether information, available at the second computing device, is relevant to the proximity-based reminder, and
provide, to the first computing device, any information determined by the second computing device to be relevant to the proximity-based reminder;
subsequent to providing the indication of the proximity-based reminder to the second computing device:
receiving, at the first computing device and via short-range communication established with the second computing device, particular information from the second computing device, wherein the particular information is available at the second computing device and is provided based on the second computing device determining that the particular information is relevant to the proximity-based reminder; and
based on receiving the particular information:
causing rendering, at the first computing device, of the particular information.
