Puctee
Read full descriptionHide full description
Puctee helps you and friends meet on time! It nudges you to leave at the right moment, surfaces the train or transit checkpoint you planned, celebrates on-time arrivals, and uses playful (opt-in) penalties for late shows. With privacy-first design and simple group rules, your crew can build an “on-time culture” without pressure. You want fewer awkward moments A Trust Score and light penalties create a blame-free system that encourages improvement together. Core features Create Meetups Set date/time, pin the place on a map, invite participants, and define penalties. Solo “self-meetups” work great for deadlines too. 15-Minute Location Sharing Location becomes visible to participants from T-15 until the event ends—never always-on. Trust Score Punctuality raises your score; tardiness lowers it. View trends over time for motivation and reflection. History & Stats See achieved/missed meetups and average arrival patterns to plan better next time. Privacy & safety first Strictly limited sharing: Location is visible only from T-10 to event end—no persistent tracking. Invite-only events: Non-public by default; links are guarded. Clear onboarding: Guided permissions for notifications and location. Safety prompts: Avoid interactions while walking or driving. Data scope: Location and notification tokens are used only for their stated purpose and removed/obfuscated after the necessary retention window. Premium (planned) Unlimited history and advanced analytics (delay patterns, average travel times) Custom notification templates (e.g., “Ping again 15 minutes before,” “Post-event summary”) Calendar integration (Google, etc.) for auto-import Limited badges/frames, seasonal events, early access to new features Features roll out in stages. Who will love Puctee Groups with frequent meetups (clubs, labs, part-time shifts, teams) Friends meeting in crowded areas (concerts, festivals, holidays) Crews who enjoy light “rewards & playful penalties” for motivation Individuals who want deadline discipline through “self-meetups” Quick start Open the app Tap New Meetup (set time/place/participants/reward & penalty) Follow the back-timed prompts At T-10, check the map—and arrive on time! FAQ Can I share my location all the time? No. Puctee is designed for minimal sharing—only the last 10 minutes before the event through the end. Is it useful alone? Yes. Self-meetups are great for personal deadlines; pair them with small rewards. Are penalties required? No. Use only if your group agrees—keep them light and fun. Battery impact? Puctee confines sharing to a short window and uses efficient update intervals to limit battery use. What about late joins or mid-event sync? Location sharing (T-10→end) plus chat supports catch-ups; we’ll keep improving this. Accessibility & usability Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and contrast-aware visuals Dual map + list views for quick situational awareness “Only the important alerts” philosophy to reduce notification noise Apple Watch notifications (on supported devices) planned Home screen widgets for “Next leave time”/“Today’s meetups” under consideration Why we built Puctee Late arrivals strain vibes; crowded venues complicate rendezvous; reverse-planning is tedious. We focused on a minimal trio—Back-Timed Notifications × 15-Minute Location Sharing × Trust Score—to encourage punctuality without blame. Puctee is a small tool to reduce wasted time and increase the value of time spent together.
