CatchLink turns your Lock Screen into a Sound Transit departure board so you stop refreshing transit apps and start walking on time. Tell CatchLink your morning and afternoon commute — your home and work stations, the time you would like to leave, how long it takes to walk to the platform, and how much buffer you want at the station. CatchLink pulls live arrival predictions from the OneBusAway / Sound Transit feed and recommends the next Link train you can actually catch. Designed for the Seattle 1 Line and 2 Line, the app supports every Link light rail station from Lynnwood City Center down to Angle Lake, with first-class support for the East Link extension between Redmond Technology and South Bellevue. KEY FEATURES • Lock Screen widgets in rectangular, circular, and inline sizes — pick the one that fits your wallpaper • Live Activity that pins the next departure to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island during your commute window • Morning and afternoon profiles with independent stations, leave times, walking times, and station buffers • Auto-selects the active profile based on time of day so the widget is always relevant • Optional "leave now" notification if you miss the walk-out moment • Bundled offline fixtures, so the dashboard, widgets, and Live Activity always have something to show • No account, no sign-up, no tracking CatchLink uses publicly available OneBusAway transit data and is not affiliated with Sound Transit or OneBusAway. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 17 or later • Live Activity support requires a device with the Dynamic Island or Lock Screen widgets enabled
