Every stop, in the right order. Errand Arc turns a scattered list of places into a practical run you can actually follow. Add the store, pharmacy, return counter, appointment, or pickup you need. Then tell Errand Arc what ordinary route planners miss: when a place closes, how long the stop may take, how important it is, and whether you will be carrying chilled or frozen items. SMARTER THAN SHORTEST Errand Arc balances distance with real-life constraints. An urgent pharmacy pickup can move forward. Frozen groceries can stay near the end. A flexible stop can fit where it makes sense. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE RUN • Search businesses and addresses with Apple Maps • Add arrival windows and closing deadlines • Mark must-do and flexible stops • Account for expected time at each place • Keep chilled, frozen, and fragile pickups in mind • Reorder the run with one tap • Open driving directions to the next stop • Check off stops as you finish • Review recent runs and progress PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your run history is stored on your device. Errand Arc requires no Goodale Studios account and includes no advertising or third-party tracking SDK. USEFUL FOR FREE Plan up to three active runs with up to eight stops each, including smart ordering and recent history. ERRAND ARC PRO Upgrade for unlimited active runs and stops, complete history, on-device insights, and one-tap completed-run repeat. Choose monthly, annual, or lifetime access. No plan is preselected, and the localized price and billing period appear before purchase. Route order and time estimates are planning aids, not guarantees. Confirm business hours, appointment rules, road conditions, and safe handling requirements yourself. Apple Maps provides place search and driving directions.
