Arrival HK shows when your next ride comes, for the stops you actually use. Add a stop once and it sits on one screen with the rest: KMB, Citybus and green minibus, every MTR line and Light Rail.

Premium adds unlimited stops and Live Activities, monthly, quarterly or yearly. Arrival times come from the open data of KMB, Citybus, the Transport Department and MTR. Arrival HK is not affiliated with them. Terms of use: https://codenav.dev/terms

See your remaining data at a glance — right on your Home Screen. No ads. No subscription. No VPN. A data usage widget you can match to your carrier's numbers. TIRED OF… • Trackers that never match what your carrier says? • Ads, or features moved behind a subscription after you paid? • Apps that count Wi-Fi as mobile data? • Billing cycles stuck on the 1st? WHAT GIGAGUARD DOES • Calibrate to your carrier — on-device measurement always drifts a little. Type in the usage shown in your carrier's app and GigaGuard matches it. • Widgets for the Home Screen and Apple Watch (Lock Screen widgets with Premium). Choose from four layouts, including a ring, show today's Wi-Fi usage, and refresh without opening the app. • Cellular and Wi-Fi tracked separately — only mobile data counts toward your plan. • Any billing day from the 1st to the 31st, rollover data, and day passes for prepaid or travel eSIMs. • Pace forecast: see where you'll end the cycle and the day you'd hit your cap. • A daily limit alert, plus alerts at the percentages you choose (Premium). • Daily usage history as bars, a line or a running total, with Wi-Fi alongside cellular, plus per-cycle history (Premium). • Up to 20 lines — main, work and travel eSIM — each with its own plan (Premium). • Siri Shortcuts: "Check remaining data in GigaGuard". PRIVACY • No VPN. GigaGuard never sits in the middle of your connection. • No carrier login, no account. • Your data stays on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to a server. PRICING Free to use. Premium is a one-time purchase — never a subscription. No ads. PLEASE NOTE iOS doesn't let apps read your carrier's official usage, so GigaGuard measures on-device and lets you calibrate. Usage is updated when you open the app or refresh the widget. Per-app usage is not available. For billing, always check your carrier's official app or website.
