Your Shinkansen ticket info, always at a glance.
Scan your Shinkansen ticket, and all your journey details appear on your lock screen as a Live Activity. No more digging through your pockets or reopening apps to check your departure time or seat number.
What you'll see on your lock screen:
• Departure and arrival times
• Train name and number
• Car and seat number
• Seat class (Green Car, Reserved, or Unreserved)
• Auto-updating progress bar during your journey
• Countdown to departure or arrival
Easy to start:
Scan a photo of your physical ticket, paste a receipt screenshot, or enter details manually. The app recognizes both Japanese and English text.
Other features:
• Set an arrival alarm so you don't miss your stop
• Auto-updating progress based on your location
• Editable fields if scanning missed anything
• Works entirely on your device (no data sent anywhere)
Dynamic Island support:
On iPhone 14 Pro and later, your journey info appears in the Dynamic Island.
