Ever missed your stop?
You doze off on the bus and miss it, get lost in thought on the subway and ride past your station, or drive right by the exit you needed.
EarLocAlert tells you when you arrive at or leave a place you registered. You don't have to keep the app open or look at the screen.
■ It alerts you without opening the app
It works even after you fully close the app. When you get close to a place you registered, it wakes up on its own and alerts you with vibration and a notification. Even with the screen off, even while you're using another app.
■ No one else can hear it
Sound plays only when earphones are connected.
Wired earphones, USB-C earphones and Bluetooth earphones all count.
Without earphones, it alerts you by vibration only.
In a library, in a meeting, on a quiet bus, only you'll know.
Sound never goes out through car audio or an external speaker.
■ Tell places apart by sound
Choose a different alert sound for each place.
Pick from Default, Bell, Electronic, Siren and Chime, or add a sound from your own phone.
Arriving home sounds different from arriving at work.
You know where you are without looking at the screen.
■ See where you are on the alert screen
When an alert goes off, the place you arrived at is shown on a map.
Your set radius and your current position appear together, so you can confirm at a glance that you really arrived.
■ Your location never leaves your phone
Arrival is decided entirely on your phone.
Where you go and which places you registered are never sent to any server.
No sign-up, no login.
■ Made for people who
· often miss their stop on the bus or subway
· can't find the stop in an unfamiliar neighborhood
· need an alert for their child's pickup time
· have something to do when they arrive somewhere
· wear earphones but hate sound leaking to others
■ Main features
· Drop a pin on the map and set a radius (50 m to 2 km)
· Alert on arrival, on leaving, or both
· Set days and times, e.g. weekday mornings only
· Choose a sound per place and add your own sound
· 3 vibration strengths
· Adjustable alert volume
· Monitor several places at once
■ Permissions
· Location (Allow all the time): needed to detect your arrival without opening the app
· Notifications: shows the arrival alert
■ Battery
Normally it uses iOS's built-in location monitoring, so it barely uses any battery. It checks precisely only when you get near a registered place.
