## What is TinyBoard NYC?

Every NYC transit system on one board. Subway, bus, LIRR, Metro-North, NJ Transit, PATH, NYC Ferry, Citi Bike, AirTrain JFK, airport TSA — real-time arrivals, widgets, Live Activities, Siri.

LIVE ACTIVITIES THAT DON'T GO STALE
Track your train from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. The countdown updates in real time — not "whenever iOS feels like refreshing." See your track number the moment it posts, without unlocking your phone.

THE WHOLE TRIP, ONE APP
Subway. Bus. LIRR. Metro-North. NJ Transit rail, bus, and light rail. PATH. NYC Ferry. Citi Bike. AirTrain JFK. TSA wait times at JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark. If it moves people around New York, TinyBoard tracks it.

AIRPORT WAIT TIMES
See Standard and PreCheck security lines at every terminal before you leave the house. Search by airline, favorite your terminal, check TSA from your home screen widget.

SERVICE ALERTS, ATTACHED TO YOUR TRAIN
A small badge right on the arrival bullet shows when your specific line has issues. If a direction has zero trains because of a service change, the card tells you why — not just "no arrivals."

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Pin your daily stops to your home screen. Glance and go.

ASK SIRI
"When's the next train at 86th Street?" Works with Shortcuts, voice, and Spotlight.

FIND ANY STOP
Search by station name, route, or just tap Nearby to see everything around you — buses, trains, ferries, bikes, all on one list with compass arrows pointing the way.

CITI BIKE, PROPERLY
See ebikes, classic bikes, and open docks at a glance. When a dock is low on what you need, TinyBoard shows nearby docks that have it.

DESIGNED FOR NEW YORK
Clean, information-dense, no ads. Just your arrivals.

All transit modes and home screen widgets are free. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited saved stops, Live Activities on the Lock Screen, morning alert briefings, offline transit maps, and iCloud sync.

*2026-03-30*

When I’m running to catch my train, I don’t have time to scroll through multiple menus.  I’ve pinned my home station and my work station to the start screen and this app simply does the job of letting me know when my next train will arrive.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.5 — 2026-04-15

Accumulate 1.2.5 release notes here as features land.

- Widgets, as many as you want — the upgrade prompt is gone.
- Widget picker shows direction (Eastbound / Westbound) so two saves of the same stop are easy to tell apart.
- Widgets keep showing arrivals through a network blip instead of going blank, and fit as many rows as the size allows.
- Taller map on every detail screen — more street context at a glance.
- Fresh installs land in your system light/dark mode, no permission prompts before you've seen anything.
- New "Rate TinyBoard" link in Settings.
- A pile of tiny fixes: detail screens bounce back from errors, deeplinks land where they should, the freshness pill stops fibbing.

### Mala's Data Quality Corner
- Route badges no longer truncate to "…" on small widgets — the headsign gives, the badge doesn't.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-03-30

• Airport Wait Times — TSA security lines for JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark.
  Search your airline, favorite your terminal, see Standard and PreCheck
  waits before you leave the house. Taxi lines too.

• AirTrain JFK — every terminal, Jamaica, and Howard Beach now show live
  departures. The picker knows what connects where ("To Jamaica · E J Z,
  LIRR") so you don't have to guess which line gets you out.

• Alert Badges — new setting to tune the warning badge on route bullets.
  Off, just delays and suspensions, or everything including planned
  weekend work. Your call on the noise floor.

• Four new offline maps — PATH, NJ Transit rail, NJ Transit light rail,
  and AirTrain. Settings → Transit Maps.

Mala's Data Quality Corner:
• Bus destinations stopped title-casing acronyms into nonsense. "JFK
  Airport" not "Jfk Airport".
• Subway scheduled arrivals that were ghosting alongside their real-time
  twin are gone. MTA changed their ID format again; we stopped caring
  what the prefix looks like.
• Citibike capacity in search results is a real number now instead of 0.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-03-28

SMARTER SERVICE ALERTS
A small warning badge appears right next to the arrival time when your train has a delay or reroute — only for your direction, only when it matters.

CITI BIKE, REBUILT
Big clear numbers for ebikes, classic bikes, and open docks. When the dock is empty, nearby docks that have what you need show up right below.

SMOOTHER MAPS
Tap the map and the sheet slides down while the pin recenters — one smooth motion.

PLUS
• The 7 train says "Flushing / Queens" now, not "Uptown"
• Detail pages open faster
• Journey animations respect Reduce Motion
• Long station names fit better at large text sizes

MALA'S QUALITY CORNER
• Split-direction stops show the skip reason when one side is empty
• Bus direction labels now come from the server
• More accurate subway line colors

### 1.1.10 — 2026-03-26

Accumulate 1.1.10 release notes here as features land.

### 1.1.8 — 2026-03-24

• Alert Notifications — schedule a heads-up when your stops have delays.
  Pick a time, pick your days, pick which favorites to watch. We only
  ping when something's actually wrong — no "all clear" spam.

• Track Alerts for LIRR, Metro-North & NJ Transit — swipe any train on
  the departures board and we'll ping you the second its track posts.
  Tap the notification and you land back on that board. No more staring
  at the sign at Penn.

• Trip timeline now fills in behind the bus/train as it moves — progress
  bar style. Your stop stays highlighted, the vehicle glides along.

• Alerts now show the reason up front ("Signal problems", "Track work")
  instead of burying it in MTA prose.

Mala's Data Quality Corner:
• Citibike stations that aren't accepting returns now flag as out of
  service (previously only caught not-renting).
