## What is TrainTime?

Your wrist has the internet and precise GPS. Swiss timetables are accurate to the minute. TrainTime connects the two, on your wrist and in your pocket: live SBB train, bus and tram departures around you, with platform, delay and walking time, tracking whether you'll make it with every step. No more missing your train while you unlock your phone. Glance and go.

NEARBY
The closest stations to you, found by GPS. No timetable searching. Each departure shows destination, line, platform, delay and direction of travel.

TRACK
Tap a departure to follow it. A live countdown against your walk to the station tells you whether you'll make it. The train formation diagram shows where to stand on the platform.

FAVOURITES
Star a connection and it rides above the gold line at every station. Pin your home station to keep it first.

iPHONE + APPLE WATCH
Browse and track on the iPhone, or glance at the Apple Watch for the essentials. Send a departure from phone to watch with one tap, and the iPhone shows live what the watch is tracking. Favourites, pinned stations and default mode stay in sync. The Garmin app pairs with your iPhone too.

ROUTES
Share a trip from SBB Mobile and TrainTime picks up your connections. Save it as a route and get a reminder before departure, timed to your walk.

WIDGET
Add the widget for your next departures on the home screen. Tap it to open straight into tracking.

MODES
Trains, buses, trams, boats, funiculars and cable cars. Up to 5 nearby stations per mode.

SWITZERLAND-WIDE
Real-time timetable data from opentransportdata.swiss: SBB (CFF/FFS), PostBus and regional operators, 51,000+ stations.

PRIVACY
No account, no tracking, no analytics. Your coordinates are processed in-memory and immediately discarded, never stored or shared. Full policy at traintime.ch/privacy.

OPEN SOURCE
Both the Train Time app and its API are open source.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by SBB or any Swiss transit operator. Departure data comes from opentransportdata.swiss. TrainTime takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the data, or for you missing your train. Good luck!


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.7.0 — 2026-08-01

- Tracking keeps running with the app closed. A Live Activity counts down on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with platform, delay and walk margin.
- Easier on the battery. Updates and GPS scale with how close departure is.
- A shared SBB trip starts tracking itself and shows the legs still ahead.
- Apple Watch: the tracked train shows its own terminus, your destination below. Delayed trains no longer disappear early.

### 0.5.3 — 2026-07-09

Big update!

- Share a trip from SBB Mobile straight into TrainTime, and it picks up your train. Later trips are saved as a route you can open any time, with a reminder before departure.
- Save any departure as a reminder straight from the board.
- Route reminders now allow for your walk to the station, so you leave on time. Set how early to be warned in Settings.
- Open a saved route and tap any connection to start tracking it.
- Watch integration! Your Apple or Garmin Watch now mirrors what the phone is tracking, shows when it is live, and launches from the phone, sends a saved route to it from the reminder, and your favourites stay in sync.
- A quick walkthrough introduces the app on first launch.
- Choose a light, dark or system appearance in Settings.
- Duplicate departures no longer appear in the list.

Please rate TrainTime from Settings if you like it.

### 0.4.0 — 2026-06-19

Pin your stations to show them first if you are nearby despite them not being the closest, and also pin the stops you use most to keep them at the top of the nearby list.

### 0.3.0 — 2026-06-17

Favourite routes can now be shown at the top of the departure list in the widget, phone and watch apps, so your hourly train to Zweisimmen won't get swallowed up by all the departures to Züri.

### 0.2.8 — 2026-06-10

Faster loading. Nearby stations and departures now appear more quickly when you open the app.
