## What is Arrive?

Arrive is a traffic-aware alarm app built to help you wake up, track your prep time, and leave on time.

Regular alarms only ring. Arrive connects your alarm to your real morning.

Arrive uses your start location, destination, arrival or leave time, commute estimate, prep time, buffer, and snooze settings to estimate when you need to wake up and when you need to leave.

When your alarm rings, Arrive checks your morning live commute. If you still have enough time, snooze may be available. If traffic is tighter or your snooze budget is gone, Arrive pushes you to get up and start prep.

Your countdown stays visible on your Lock Screen so you can see how much time you have left before you need to leave.

Key features:

• Traffic-aware wake alarms
• Morning commute re-check
• Smart snooze control
• Visible prep countdown
• Leave-time countdown
• Apple Maps handoff with your destination ready
• Home screen widget for your next Arrive alarm
• Calendar-based arrival alarms
• Regular everyday alarms
• Prep time, buffer, commute, and snooze settings

Arrive is designed for mornings where timing matters: work, school, appointments, airport trips, meetings, drop-offs, and important events.

Arrive helps make time visible, protects your prep window, and keeps your wake-up flow connected to the trip you actually need to make.

Wake up. Track your time. Leave on time.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-06-26, version 1.4.7*

Finally an app that help you be punctual! LOVE IT!

### 5/5 — No more excuses to arrive on time!

*2026-06-03, version 1.4.3*

Love the fact that i can sleep extra time or wake up early depending on traffic. The calendar option to plan your commute to get to your appointments on time is very helpful.

The layout and use of the app is very simple and easy to understand, great work.

### 5/5 — Amazing alarm app!

*2026-06-01, version 1.4.3*

Arrive is one of the most effective alarm apps I've used. What makes it stand out is how it combines alarm scheduling, commute planning, and accountability all in one app. I can set my destination, prep time, and arrival time, and Arrive calculates when I need to wake up to stay on schedule. This way I can sleep a little longer or less depending on traffic. The lock screen countdown is incredibly helpful because it keeps me aware of exactly how much time I have left to get ready in the morning. My favorite feature is the facial recognition requirement to dismiss the snooze alarm, it actually forces me to get out of bed instead of mindlessly hitting snooze and falling back asleep.
I also love the calendar integration, which lets me schedule alarms and commutes in advance for appointments, work, and events. The recurring alarm options are flexible too, allowing daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedules.
If you struggle with oversleeping, being late, or staying on track in the morning, Arrive is a game changer. Highly recommended if you are like me and struggle to get up and actually be on time!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-14, version 1.0*

Super clean interface. I have different start times at work on different days of the week so this app allows me to set different alarms for each day. No more excuses for getting to work late 😂
