What's New in Garitas

2.21.4

August 21, 2026

Garitas Pro is here, and it starts with a single feature: wait-time alerts. • Get a notification when the wait at one of your crossings changes. Know before you leave — or change your route on the way. • You choose the crossing, lane, and how long each alert lasts: 2, 4, or 6 hours, or Always. You only get the alerts you set up. • Everything else in Garitas stays free, exactly as it is today. How to turn them on: open Garitas, tap the crossing, then the ⏰ button at the top, choose the lane, alert type, and duration. Say yes when iOS asks for notification permission — without it nothing can arrive, even if the alert is set up. Also new, and free for everyone: the “All lanes” widget shows every lane of one crossing at a glance — on your Home Screen, on the CarPlay dashboard, and in StandBy while your iPhone charges. For the car: Settings › General › CarPlay › your car › Widgets. Garitas Pro is an annual subscription. Check the price and terms in the app before you subscribe.

Otay

Thank you for taking the time to make an application that is fairly easy to navigate. I like the lay out and its nice to see someone trying to help with updates at the Mexican side of the border. You are doing a good job.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review! We’re really glad you find the app easy to navigate and that it’s been helpful for border updates, especially on the Mexican side. Your encouragement means a lot and motivates us to keep improving the app with more accurate information and new features. Thanks again for your support, and safe travels! 🚗🇲🇽🇺🇸

Bad After Updates

Lately you did all kinds of updates and the app is now useless. Doesn't even show Ped West in San Ysidro. Can't use the app. What have you done? Why didn't you just leave it the way it was?? Jeeze.

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback — it genuinely helps us improve. You’re right: PedWest was removed because CBP stopped publishing its wait times while it was closed. Now that it’s back, we’re restoring it in an upcoming update. Sorry for the frustration, and thanks for your patience — we’ll keep working to make the app better.
