Arrivo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Arrivo is a personal time log that records when you arrive at and leave the places you save. How it works - With the Always background location permission, Arrivo records arrival and departure times automatically for the places you register. It is built for commutes, site visits, workouts, classes, clinics and caregiving — the moments where you later need to know when you got there and when you left. - Location permission is requested in stages. Arrivo confirms the while-in-use permission first, explains on screen why background access is needed, and only then asks for "Always". - Because of how iOS delivers background events, an automatic record can arrive a few minutes late, and force-quitting the app or turning off Background App Refresh can stop automatic delivery. Anything missed can be corrected at any time with the manual arrival and departure buttons. - Recent entries show whether each one was automatic or manual, stay summaries and daily, weekly and monthly reports are built for you, and CSV or PDF files leave the device only when you tap share. - Files and notifications follow the app language, so an English export reads in English. The language can be set to System, 한국어 or English in Settings. Privacy - Every place and time record is stored on the device only (SwiftData) and is never sent to a server. - Ordinary ad requests are sent after the consent form allows them. Where the law permits, the iOS App Tracking Transparency prompt may follow; declining or limiting it does not stop ordinary ads, which simply continue without an IDFA. - Saved places, precise location, visit times and export contents are never sent to AdMob. - Individual records or all data can be deleted from Settings at any time. Everything is free - Every feature is free: there is no cap on saved places or history length, the monthly report package (CSV and PDF) is included, and the app is supported by light ads (banner and app-open). iOS monitors up to 20 regions at once — a platform limit that applies to every tier. Please note This app is a personal time-keeping tool. iOS background location delivery can be delayed depending on device conditions, so do not rely on it as the sole record for attendance, pay or access control.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Today's Shift at none against Arrivo's shown. Today's Shift also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Arrivo's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
