Puctee helps you and friends meet on time! It nudges you to leave at the right moment, surfaces the train or transit checkpoint you planned, celebrates on-time arrivals, and uses playful (opt-in) penalties for late shows. With privacy-first design and simple group rules, your crew can build an “on-time culture” without pressure. You want fewer awkward moments A Trust Score and light penalties create a blame-free system that encourages improvement together. Core features Create Meetups Set date/time, pin the place on a map, invite participants, and define penalties. Solo “self-meetups” work great for deadlines too. 15-Minute Location Sharing Location becomes visible to participants from T-15 until the event ends—never always-on. Trust Score Punctuality raises your score; tardiness lowers it. View trends over time for motivation and reflection. History & Stats See achieved/missed meetups and average arrival patterns to plan better next time. Privacy & safety first Strictly limited sharing: Location is visible only from T-10 to event end—no persistent tracking. Invite-only events: Non-public by default; links are guarded. Clear onboarding: Guided permissions for notifications and location. Safety prompts: Avoid interactions while walking or driving. Data scope: Location and notification tokens are used only for their stated purpose and removed/obfuscated after the necessary retention window. Premium (planned) Unlimited history and advanced analytics (delay patterns, average travel times) Custom notification templates (e.g., “Ping again 15 minutes before,” “Post-event summary”) Calendar integration (Google, etc.) for auto-import Limited badges/frames, seasonal events, early access to new features Features roll out in stages. Who will love Puctee Groups with frequent meetups (clubs, labs, part-time shifts, teams) Friends meeting in crowded areas (concerts, festivals, holidays) Crews who enjoy light “rewards & playful penalties” for motivation Individuals who want deadline discipline through “self-meetups” Quick start Open the app Tap New Meetup (set time/place/participants/reward & penalty) Follow the back-timed prompts At T-10, check the map—and arrive on time! FAQ Can I share my location all the time? No. Puctee is designed for minimal sharing—only the last 10 minutes before the event through the end. Is it useful alone? Yes. Self-meetups are great for personal deadlines; pair them with small rewards. Are penalties required? No. Use only if your group agrees—keep them light and fun. Battery impact? Puctee confines sharing to a short window and uses efficient update intervals to limit battery use. What about late joins or mid-event sync? Location sharing (T-10→end) plus chat supports catch-ups; we’ll keep improving this. Accessibility & usability Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and contrast-aware visuals Dual map + list views for quick situational awareness “Only the important alerts” philosophy to reduce notification noise Apple Watch notifications (on supported devices) planned Home screen widgets for “Next leave time”/“Today’s meetups” under consideration Why we built Puctee Late arrivals strain vibes; crowded venues complicate rendezvous; reverse-planning is tedious. We focused on a minimal trio—Back-Timed Notifications × 15-Minute Location Sharing × Trust Score—to encourage punctuality without blame. Puctee is a small tool to reduce wasted time and increase the value of time spent together.
