## What is WakeStop?

Never miss your stop again. WakeStop wakes you up when you're approaching your destination on any bus, tram, or train.                                 
                                                            
Simply search for your stop, set your wake-up radius, and relax. WakeStop monitors your location in the background and triggers a multi-stage alarm - vibration, voice announcement, and sound - when you're getting close.        
                                                            
  How it works
  - Search for any stop or station
  - Set how close you want to be woken up (200m – 2km)
  - WakeStop runs quietly in the background           
  - Your alarm triggers before you arrive                                      
                                                                               
  Built for real commutes                                                      
  WakeStop handles GPS loss in tunnels using dead reckoning — estimating your  
  arrival based on your last known speed and distance so you're covered even   
  underground.

### 5/5 — Convinient life saver

*2026-06-21*

I used the app till the 'open' wake stops where used and then elaborated if I want to pay. But in the end: I use the app I need the app and somebody worked for it so I want to credit the work.
It works as it should. Before I used an alarm and could just estimate toa.
Can recommend for people with narcolepsy or IH who tend to fall asleep.
