About

Pickup Time

Features
Read full description

Maps tell you how long a drive takes. They cannot tell you when to leave when the drive has three pickups, a five-minute wait at each one, and a hard arrival time at the end. Pickup Time does that arithmetic. Put in the stops, say how long you will be waiting at each, pin either end of the journey to the clock, and it fills in the rest. ARRIVE BY, OR DEPART AT Pin the arrival — "the flight is at 09:00" — and the app works backwards through every leg and every wait to the moment you must set off. Or pin the departure and see where you land. WAITING TIME THAT COUNTS A pickup is not a drive-through. Give each stop the minutes you will actually spend there, and they land in the schedule where they belong: at the pickups, never at the start or the destination. "WE CANNOT LEAVE BEFORE 08:45" Pin the earliest a stop may be left and the driver waits there until that moment. If the pin makes the arrival impossible, the app shows the clash instead of quietly ignoring it. TRAFFIC FOR THE DAY YOU ARE PLANNING Driving times come from TomTom's traffic prediction for the date and time you picked, not for right now. Plan tomorrow's school run tonight. Add your own margin on top if you know a road better than the model does. EVERY STOP, ON A MAP Search an address, or drop a pin anywhere without one. The route is drawn leg by leg with numbered stops, and pointing at a leg in the list highlights that stretch of road. KEEP THE RUNS YOU REPEAT Save the school run once and load it whenever you need it — stops, waiting times and pinned times intact. A saved route keeps a time of day rather than a date, so it lands on whatever day you open it. Save addresses you use often, and move both between devices as a plain JSON file. YOUR PLAN STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Saved addresses and routes live in this app's storage on your device and are never uploaded. The only thing that leaves is the coordinates of your stops, at the moment you press Calculate, so a route can be worked out. ALSO - Miles or kilometres - 12 or 24-hour clock - Avoid toll roads - Reverse a whole run in one tap - Up to 50 stops Times are estimates based on typical traffic, not a guarantee. Drive to the road, not to the app.
