## What is TrainTrack?

Stop staring at the departure board.

Tap the train or bus you're taking and TrainTrack watches it for you. The track, the boarding call, every delay and change land on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island the moment they're posted, so you can wait anywhere but under the screens.

KNOW THE TRACK FIRST
The instant the board posts your track, you get it. If it changes, you hear about that too. Boarding, delays and cancellations come the same way, with the app closed and your phone locked.

ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN, LIVE
A Live Activity follows your trip from the platform to your stop: the track, a countdown to departure, then your next stop and a live arrival time that says plainly when you're running late. Tap it to jump straight back to that trip.

LEAVE ON TIME
Tell TrainTrack how you get to the station (transit, driving or walking) and it works out when to set off from where you are, then nudges you when it's time.

TRAINS AND BUSES, PLANNED TOGETHER
Search from a station, a stop, an address or where you are. Direct trains, one-change connections and bus trips show side by side with live tracks and status. Trips with a change are tracked as one: when your first train leaves, TrainTrack switches to the connection, and says so if a late train puts it at risk.

YOUR COMMUTE, ON ITS OWN
Save the trains and buses you take every week as a commute. Each one goes live by itself before it leaves, with all its alerts, and each commute can have its own way to the station. Following "any 126 between 7 and 9" works too.

WIDGETS AND A LIVE MAP
Home Screen widgets show what you're following, the next departures from a station, and your commute. The Map shows trains and buses moving across the network.

SHARE YOUR TRAIN
Meeting someone on the platform? Send them your train and it opens in TrainTrack on their phone, live.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your location is used only to plan trips from where you are, to time your leave-by alert and to know when you've reached your stop, and it's never stored.
