HOW IT WORKS Set your destination, and NapStop monitors your position using GPS and geofencing. When you approach your stop, you get a gentle heads-up. When you arrive, the alarm rings loud and clear, even in silent mode. KEY FEATURES GPS Geofencing NapStop uses CoreLocation to track your position with precision.

Silent Mode Bypass The alarm plays at full volume even when your phone is set to silent. You will not sleep through your stop.
