GPS Alarm is a location alarm that wakes you when you're arriving — so you can rest on the bus, train, subway, or coach without missing your stop. Set the place you want to get off on a map, choose a wake-up zone around it, and start your trip. The app keeps watch in the background and sounds a loud alarm — or a gentle notification, your choice — the moment you come within range. Then relax: nap, read, or just close your eyes. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • A wake-up alarm based on where you actually are, not a guessed arrival time • Works in the background, even with the screen locked • Loud looping alarm with vibration, or a gentle notification — your choice • Six built-in tones, and snooze if you need a few more minutes • In Alarm mode the sound plays even when your phone is set to silent FREE TO USE • The full single-destination arrival alarm is free — set a stop, start a trip, and we'll wake you when you arrive. No subscription required. • Save up to 2 stops for one-tap trips • Start or end a trip with Siri, or straight from the Home Screen widget • The free version is supported by ads. Ads never appear while a trip is running, and never on the alarm screen — nothing gets in the way of waking you up. GPS ALARM PRO Upgrade to Pro for: • No ads anywhere in the app • Leave & arrival alerts — be alerted when you arrive at a place, when you leave it, or both (per place). The free alarm is arrive-only. • Always-on monitoring of all your saved places — GPS Alarm can watch every saved place in the background and alert you whenever you arrive at or leave any of them, even when no trip is running. You turn this on per device in Settings; it needs the "Always" location permission and is off until you enable it. • A live countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you can see how far you have to go at a glance • Unlimited saved stops • A full history of every arrival and departure, synced across your devices — with trip stats and CSV or GPX export Pro is an auto-renewable monthly or yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial. The price is shown in the app before you subscribe, and on this App Store page. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of the free trial is forfeited when you subscribe. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://mwsupplylimited.github.io/timetowakeup/privacy.html SIMPLE TO USE • Search for a station or address, or just drop a pin on the map • Pick a wake-up zone — a larger zone wakes you earlier so you have time to get ready • Save the stops you travel to often for one-tap trips • A live screen shows how far you are from your destination PRIVACY • Your location is used only on your device — to detect when you arrive at or leave your stop, and, if you turn on always-on monitoring, to watch your saved places continuously in the background. It never leaves your device, is never sold, and is never used to identify you. • Your saved stops and history back up to your own private iCloud Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. GPS Alarm uses continuous background location only while a trip is active. Always-on monitoring (an optional Pro feature) uses lower-power region and significant-location-change monitoring, and only when you have turned it on. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Pro Monthly | $1.99 | per month | | Pro Yearly | $9.99 | per year | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-11 • Fixed: on "Choose your stop", the settings card could cover the lower half of the wake-up zone circle — so the zone you were setting was partly hidden. It now always sits fully in view, and the map zooms out on its own if you pick a zone too large to fit. • Fixed: the ad banner could disappear a few seconds after appearing and leave the space empty. • Fixed: the "watch a video for one more stop" button stopped responding if you skipped the video. It works every time now. • The arrival alarm is still completely free, and Pro still removes every ad. ### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-08 • Faster, lighter startup — the app no longer waits on the App Store to finish launching. • GPS Alarm is now available in 34 languages, including Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi and Thai. • The free version is now supported by ads, which keeps the arrival alarm free for everyone. Ads never appear while a trip is running or on the alarm screen. GPS Alarm Pro removes them everywhere. • Your saved stops and GPS location are never shared with advertisers. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-25 • A cleaner, more focused free experience. • Reliability and performance improvements under the hood. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-22 • New (Pro): leave & exit alerts — be alerted when you arrive, when you leave, or both. • New (Pro): always-on monitoring of all your saved places in the background. Turn it on in Settings. • Fresh new app icon. • Reliability improvements for background wake-ups. The free single-destination arrival alarm is unchanged. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-16 What's new in this update: • New name and a sharper focus: GPS Alarm is the same reliable arrival alarm, now far easier to find and understand. • Polished the map picker and wake-up zone for quicker, more accurate stop selection. • Improved background location reliability so the alarm fires right on time. • Refreshed onboarding plus performance and stability fixes. Thanks for using the app. Drop a pin, start your trip, and never miss your stop. ## Apps similar to GPS Alarm | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Zonium – Timezone Converter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zonium-timezone-converter/id6617216986) | 4.6 (10) | Free | Travel | | [NapAlarm - GPS Wake Up](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/napalarm-gps-wake-up/id6759576514) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Travel | | [Close2Me - Place Alerts](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/close2me-place-alerts/id6761178740) | — | Free | Travel | | [Road Iceland](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/road-iceland/id6746726285) | — | Free | Travel | ## More apps by Matthew Wong - [SciCalc: Graphing Calculator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/scicalc-graphing-calculator/id6774040055) - [Chronograde: Watch Accuracy](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chronograde-watch-accuracy/id6774091390) - [RoadBook: Automatic Drive Log](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/roadbook-automatic-drive-log/id6774244290) - [Video to Photo: Frame Grab](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/video-to-photo-frame-grab/id6774273813) - [Money Flow: Budget & Expenses](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/money-flow-budget-and-expenses/id6774435400) - [Body Clock: Jet Lag Planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/body-clock-jet-lag-planner/id6774922882) All apps by Matthew Wong: https://appshunter.io/developer/6774040057 ## Related topics [location alerts](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/location-alerts) · [location alert](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/location-alert) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
