## What is Raily?

Raily is your companion for train journeys in China, with Caltrain schedules for the San Francisco Bay Area.

Add a train to track your journey: departure countdowns on the lock screen, boarding gates and platforms when available, live delays, and a map of your route.

What you get
• Trip timeline — past, current, and upcoming journeys
• Live Activities — departure and arrival countdowns on your lock screen
• Train updates — delay, gate, and platform information when available
• Route maps and station lists
• Train log and trip-sharing cards
• Caltrain offline schedules
• English and Chinese, with an in-app language switch

Add trips from your AI assistant or terminal
Connect using the command in Raily Settings, then run npx @ha7ch/raily to add a train and travel date. You can also send several trips at once, check delivery receipts, and query upcoming trips.

Your data
Trips are stored on your device, with optional iCloud sync. Remote trip delivery and train notifications use Raily's server to process the trip details and tokens needed for those features. The remote CLI can add trips and query upcoming trips; it cannot delete or modify your trips. You can regenerate its token in Settings.

Free to use
No subscription. No in-app purchases. No ads.

### 4/5 — User Sync and Android

*2026-07-08*

Would be nice if user info syncs between devices and there is an Android version, so more people can use it.

### 5/5 — 非常不错的应用

*2026-05-23*

存在些许不足，比如添加同一日期的列车时，再次点击与上一次相同的日期，app无响应。在添加列车时，切换日期不是那么丝滑，退出时总是会乱跳日期。另外S，Y字头的普速列车没有单独列出来。许个愿，如果能把国际列车加入就最好了，比如去河内、莫斯科、平壤的。

### 5/5 — A really advanced and useful railway track app

*2026-05-15*

Worth recommending! Great for collectors.

### 5/5 — 很值得期待的一个app

*2026-05-14*

App界面很舒服，列车数据库也在持续完善中，迭代很快，作者很nice，加油！
