Queue Alert vs Slow Them Down

While in a queue (or line) have you asked yourself any of the following questions: Will I make it through security in time? Will I get my movie tickets before the show starts? How long until I can place my order? What is that smell? If so, this app may be for you. We find ourselves in queues (or lines) far more often than we'd like and, as a rule, they move more slowly than we'd hope. In fact, the phrase "this line is moving so fast" isn't found in any major language or travel guide. Have you found yourself, like me, counting the number of people in front of you? Trying to judge the speed of the person behind the desk? Trying to juggle these figures in your head while being bumped and prodded to keep your place? Queue Alert can help, doing the math for you and giving you live estimates that you can use. Once a rate is established, you can predict your wait time or predict how many people or items will get through the queue by a given time. Or, you can enter the amount of time you have to wait to see how far the queue will progress. All of this is easily at your fingertips. Isn't it time you got more out of line? Other uses: Queue Alert isn't just for waiting in lines! This app could be used to help predict the movement of anything through a queuing system of any sort. Really, it's just math. Tap the "number in queue" flipper to cycle through a number of possible options and fully customize your experience. Limitations: Obviously, the estimations made by the app (and subsequent alerts) may not reflect what you actually observe, for a variety of reasons. Queues may speed up or slow down as new registers open or close, for example. These are just estimates and hold no special sway over future events. Queue carefully.

Slow Them Down turns your iPhone into a traffic speed study tool. Record vehicles on your street, mark their positions frame by frame, and get accurate speed estimates — no radar gun required. How it works 1. Calibrate your camera using a known reference distance (vehicle length, lane width, or a manual measurement) 2. Record a video of passing traffic 3. Select two frames and mark the vehicle's position in each 4. Get an instant speed estimate in MPH Track every vehicle Log each measurement with vehicle type, travel direction, street name, and timestamp. Build a complete picture of traffic patterns in your neighborhood over days, weeks, or months. Automated reports Generate detailed PDF reports with V85 speeds, traffic volume breakdowns, speed distribution charts, and vehicle type summaries. Filter by street to isolate problem areas. Share reports directly with your city council, HOA, or neighborhood group. Privacy built in Faces and license plates are automatically detected and blurred before you share anything. The app errs on the side of caution because a blurred street sign is better than a visible plate. We also don't store the images, videos beyond the processing needed to calculate a speed. Built for advocacy Speed data is what cities use to justify traffic calming measures like speed bumps, stop signs, and road diets. Slow Them Down gives your community the same data, collected from the streets you actually live on.
