Traffic alarm for your commute and every meeting: BoardSpy checks live traffic before you leave and rings when it's time to go. Stop or snooze from the lock screen.
A traffic alarm that tells you when it's time to leave — for your commute, every meeting, and the school run.
BoardSpy checks live traffic on your saved route before you go and rings one alert: leave now, or leave early. Connect your calendar and it does the same for every meeting with a location. Never be late for work again.
TRAFFIC ALARM, NOT ANOTHER MAP
Save your commute once. Set the time you leave, the time you head back, and the days you drive. BoardSpy runs a live traffic check ahead of each departure and pushes the result — "traffic's clear, leave at 8:22" or "leave 15 minutes early, the interstate is backed up." You set the delay threshold, so quiet mornings stay quiet.
TIME TO LEAVE FOR EVERY MEETING
Connect Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. For every event with a location, BoardSpy works out the drive time, watches live traffic as the meeting gets closer, and alarms you at the moment you need to leave. Client visit, school pickup, the dentist, a 9 a.m. at the other office — a leave-by time for each, with nothing to set up.
AN ALARM YOU CAN'T SWIPE AWAY
A time-to-leave alert is an alarm, not a banner. It keeps ringing until you tap Stop or Snooze. Snooze for five more minutes; Stop when you're already in the car.
LEAVE EARLY ON THE DAYS THAT NEED IT
BoardSpy tracks delay minutes on your route day by day, flags the best and worst days of the month, and gives you a leave-by time and an avoid-after time for the morning commute and the drive home.
LIVE TRAFFIC, ROAD CLOSURES AND ROUTE WEATHER
Congestion, closures, accidents, roadwork and slowdowns, filtered to the roads you drive — not a whole-city map to interpret. Every check compares your usual way in against live alternatives, and the alert says when today is a day to take a different route. Rain, snow, fog and severe weather along your corridor are folded into the same brief.
MEET SCOUT
Tap Scout for an instant read on the road ahead. Hold to talk and it finds coffee or lunch on your drive, with ratings and distance.
CARPOOL ON YOUR EXACT ROUTE
Opt in and BoardSpy matches you with commuters already driving your road. Split the cost, take the HOV lane. You only appear to people who opted in too.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Daily commuters with a fixed start time
• Anyone whose calendar is full of meetings in different places
• Parents doing the school run, drop-off and pickup
• Nurses, shift workers, and anyone who can't be late
• Field reps and delivery drivers
• Cyclists: switch any route to bike mode
SIGN-IN AND YOUR CALENDAR ARE SEPARATE
Sign in with Apple or Google only signs you in. It never reads your calendar. Calendar access is a separate, optional step: connect Apple Calendar or Google Calendar later, only if you want meeting alerts, and disconnect any time in Settings. BoardSpy reads event times and locations to time your alerts, nothing else.
NOT A MAPS APP
A navigator helps once you're driving. BoardSpy makes the decision ten minutes before, then hands off to your navigator in one tap.
