Stop guessing when to leave. MyCommute watches the traffic on your regular drives and tells you exactly when to head out the door, before you're already running late.
Set up your route once: where you start, where you're going, and what time you need to arrive. Every morning you drive it, MyCommute checks live traffic and sends you a heads-up — "traffic's good, leave at 8:22" or "leave early, it's backed up today." No apps to open, no maps to check. Just the notifications that you need.
Why you'll love it
Automatic traffic monitoring — we watch the roads so you don't have to
Smart departure alerts — know when to leave based on today's real traffic, not yesterday's guess
Alerts your way — pick when you want to hear from us: only when traffic's bad, or every morning
Live Activities & widgets — your commute status right on your Lock Screen and Home Screen
Arrive stress-free — leave the timing to us and just drive

"Love it! Simple and very useful. I just plug in my frequent destinations and the app lets me know if I need to leave a little earlier depending on traffic. A great tool for those of us who are chronically late"

Overall, users praise MyCommute for simplifying daily travel, enabling pre-set routes, and sending early, helpful traffic alerts that save time. The app is described as simple, sleek, and easy to use on the go. However, a substantial number of reviews report onboarding and reliability issues: initial-screen lockups, splash screens that can't be dismissed, and unresponsive route input; plus concerns about pricing vs free alternatives and some UI glitches. The combination suggests strong potential when it works, but significant stability and monetization issues hinder adoption.

I really needed this to work.
But I couldn’t even add a starting location for my commute so….

Almost paid the $40 but apparently you can set these alerts up on the Calendar app free of charge
