You know that feeling when you look at the clock and realize you should've left 10 minutes ago? Yeah. Me too. That's why I built this. Lately is a lateness app for people who are always running late. Whether it's time blindness, ADHD, or you just can't seem to get out the door, this actually works. Here's what it does: - Visual Timer on your lock screen, dynamic island, and watch so you always know when you need to leave - Travel Time Estimation so you stop underestimating how long trips actually take - Smart Travel Time that updates as you move and accounts for your travel method and traffic - Multiple Alerts leading up to the leave time (because one reminder has never been enough) - Alarm at leave time for when you've completely spaced out or in executive dysfunction paralysis - Points and Badges for arriving on time (surprisingly motivating) - Recurring Timers for your regular routines (don't have to set it up every time) No destination? No problem. You'll still get a visual timer, notifications, and alarm — whether you need to leave, make a call, or start anything on time. I made this because I was tired of feeling so guilty and stressed. If you're tired of being late, give it a shot. Terms: https://www.getlately.app/terms Privacy: https://www.getlately.app/privacy
