## What is Catch?

Catch shows the next three trains between home and work on your Apple Watch and iPhone, for BART, Muni Metro and Muni buses, and works out which way you're going.

Raise your wrist to see:
• Next, then and after: the minutes until each train leaves
• Which line it is and where it's headed
• The platform, on BART

IT KNOWS WHICH WAY YOU'RE GOING
Catch picks the direction for you. With Use My Location on, it starts from whichever of home or work you're closer to; your location never leaves your watch or iPhone. Otherwise it goes by the times you set: toward work in the morning, toward home later, night shifts included. Heading the other way? Tap the arrows to reverse it for an hour.

MINUTES YOU CAN COUNT ON
Catch uses BART's real-time feed, which gives every train's departure to the second, and counts down from that moment. If the feed briefly jumps to a later time, Catch waits for BART to confirm it before showing more time. A train still waiting at the start of its run stays on screen until it leaves. When fewer than three live trains are coming, timetable trips fill in, marked "~" so you always know what's live.

Muni times come from 511.org. Muni's estimates run long more often than BART's, so Catch shows Muni trains and buses 30 seconds early.

ON YOUR WATCH FACE
Round, corner, rectangular and inline complications count down minute by minute and refresh in the background. Show the next train or the next three, in each line's color. To make the most of watchOS's limited background updates, you can have them update only around your commute.

MUNI METRO AND MUNI BUS
Choose Muni Metro (J, K, L, M, N, T) or Muni Bus (every bus line, the F streetcar and cable cars) and enter your own free 511 key once (get one at 511.org/open-data/token). For a bus, pick your line, then your stops along it; lines near you are listed first.

CHANGE ON THE WAY
On BART, Catch also shows trains with one change on the way when they get you there sooner or your line isn't running: after Green stops for the night, Blue to Bay Fair, then Orange to Fremont. BART to a bus, or a bus to BART? Add a transfer, pick what you ride next and where you change, and Catch fills in the next leg from the nearest stop. Catch shows the next three for every leg, stacked on one screen; your watch face shows the one you leave for.

SET UP ON YOUR IPHONE
The iPhone app is the easy way to set up: search stations, paste your 511 key, and see the whole trip on one screen. Save, and it's on your watch, which then works on its own. The iPhone app shows your next trains too.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your stations, places and location stay on your watch and iPhone. Catch talks only to BART's servers and, for Muni, to 511.org.

Catch is an independent app. It isn't made, endorsed or supported by BART or the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (Muni). Muni data is provided by 511.org.
