## What is ChooTrack?

Plan it. Track it. Spot it. Private.

ChooTrack is the UK Train Tracking app that completly avoids data tracking. We even avoid common National Rail third party APIs that are commonly used by other apps. We built our own for total visibility/transparency of what happens to the data (nothing collected).

REWIND THE BOARD
Drag up to two hours into the past, every departed service reappears with its real platform and departure time. On a train and want to track it but it's gone from the planner? It's still right there, scrub back in time.

TRACK ANY TRAIN, LIVE
Follow a service stop by stop: live ETA, next stop, platform, and the train creeping along its calling-point spine. Updates land on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island as a Live Activity, so you can glance without opening the app, even for a train that already left the station.

GUESS MY TRAIN
Not sure which service you boarded? One tap uses your location to work out the trains near you, factoring in where each one actually is between stations, and lists the likely candidates to track. This works 60% of the time, every time. Let us know how it works for you. 

PLAN ANY JOURNEY, ANY CHANGES
No direct train? ChooTrack stitches the route together: it holds the entire national timetable in memory and finds journeys with any number of changes in milliseconds, including cross-London Tube and walking transfers between terminals. Every train leg stays individually trackable, so you can follow each part of the trip live.

LIVE BOARDS, DONE RIGHT
Departure and arrival boards for every National Rail station, with delays, platforms, cancellations, and calling points. Pin your regular stations and set a home and a work station, so the boards you use most are one tap away.

MADE FOR YOU, NOT YOUR DATA
No account. No sign-up. No ads. No analytics. No tracking of any kind. ChooTrack asks for your location only when you tap "Guess my train", and never stores it. What you search stays on your device. We even created our own tracking API called ChooAPI, so we know exactly what's being transmitted. 

Free to use. If you'd like to chip in toward the server costs, there's an entirely optional tip in Settings that unlocks nothing but warm feelings.

Live departure and arrival information is provided under licence from National Rail Enquiries. Live running and timetable data from Network Rail. ChooAPI is a ChooTrack API that accurately calculates sharper info from these National Rail APIs avoiding 3rd Party Solutions. ChooTrack is an independent app and is not affiliated with National Rail or any train operating company.
