CatchLink vs Seattle Light Rail

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

Seattle Light Rail is an independent, offline-first companion for riding Link light rail and nearby regional connections. Plan From/To trips, view live arrivals and disruptions, find station entrances and facilities, see the best car to board, save trips, and use the optional Start Trip companion. Widgets and the Apple Watch app keep useful trip information close at hand. The app supports 22 languages. No account or login is required. The app includes no advertising, analytics, or tracking SDKs. Location used for nearby stations, saved-trip timing, and Trip Companion is processed on the device. Choosing Open in Maps passes the selected start and destination coordinates to Apple Maps. Network requests retrieve public transit information; reports are sent only when you choose to email support. This is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Sound Transit, King County Metro, the City of Seattle, or any other transit agency. Link, ORCA, and related marks belong to their respective owners.
