About this app

- Specify which device calendars you'd like to the app to use.
- Begin an event title with "bike to" or "bike" or "cycle" to get bike travel time estimates, or start it with "walk" or "walk to", or "take a bus to" or "bus" to get walking or transit estimates
- Customize how soon to get notified and a "buffer" time
- Choose whether to avoid highways and tolls
- Customize normal alert and "urgent" alert sounds
- "Snooze" a notification to get alerted again before its time to leave
- "Pick up" mode! Do you drop a kid off at an appointment and want to be alerted when to leave to get there at the beginning AND the end? Add the text "(P/U)" at the END of your event title (Ex: "Dance class (p/u)") and TTL will do the rest.
-IFTTT Maker interface allows you to perform custom home automation tasks when it's almost time to leave -- flash a light, make an announcement, etc.

Ratings and reviews

Simple, but very effective. This app has saved me a couple times. Whereas the Google "time to leave" function is erratic and can't be customized, this app works every time. On at least two occasions in the past two weeks since I downloaded the app, this app has told me to leave at the correct time, whereas if I left when the Google notification indicated I would have arrived VERY late.

Sometimes it doesn't know where I am, then it can't give an accurate estimated time to leave. Changed on 6/17 it just stopped working correctly as of yesterday. update on 10/17/25: changing my review because now it works great. I'm glad this exists.

It seems to have stopped working unfortunately. EDIT: I didn't know what changed, but I have it another shot and it started working. Now if only there was a way to set more (or longer) alarms...
