ProxAlert

Doze off on the bus or zone out on the metro? Drop a pin and ProxAlert taps your shoulder before your stop. Wake up at the right place, every single time.

Ever doze off on the bus and worry about missing your stop? Travelling in an unfamiliar city and want to step off at the exact corner? Walking through a park and need to know when you've nearly reached a friend?

ProxAlert is a simple alarm — except it goes off not by clock, but by your position on the map. Drop a pin, choose a distance, and you can finally put your headphones in, close your eyes or open a book. As you get close, ProxAlert gently nudges you.

— WHAT IT DOES —

• Multiple alerts on approach. At the same time: a quiet warning at 1 km, a clear ping at 200 m, a final "Get off!" at 50 m.
• Radar map. See your position, the destination, and pulsing rings at your chosen radius.
• Radar map. See your position, the destination, and pulsing rings at your chosen radius.
• Apple Watch. Time-sensitive alerts on your wrist, even when your phone stays in your pocket.
• Import from any map app. Apple Maps, Google Maps, Yandex Maps, 2GIS, OsmAnd — share a place with iOS Share and ProxAlert picks it up. Short links (goo.gl, maps.app.goo.gl) are expanded automatically.

— WHY ProxAlert —

• Works in the background — and even when the app is killed. iOS wakes it on the geofence the moment you cross your radius.
• 100% on-device. No servers, no tracking, no analytics — coordinates never leave your iPhone.
• 20 built-in alert sounds, from a soft chime to an insistent alarm.
• 5 interface languages: English, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese.

— WHEN IT SAVES YOU —

• Metro, bus, train — nodded off, almost missed your stop.
• Long road trip as a passenger — too lazy to check the map.
• Walking in a new neighborhood — meeting up without staring at the phone.
• Hikes and cycling routes — a heads-up before a tricky turn.
• Delivery driver — drop the destination, get a ping closing in.

Install, drop a pin, and never miss the right stop again — even if you've drifted off.
