About this app
You get on the bus exhausted, you want to sleep for a while, but you can't: if you doze off, you miss your stop.
WakeMeThere is an alarm that goes off at a place, not at a time. Drop your destination on the map, choose how far ahead you want the warning, and that's it. You can sleep, read or watch a series without checking the window every two minutes.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Search for your destination by address, or just tap it on the map
2. Choose the alert radius (500 metres before, for example)
3. Arm the alarm and put your phone away
The app keeps measuring the distance even with the screen off. When you enter the radius, the alarm sounds and the phone vibrates.
GOOD FOR
• City buses and long-distance coaches
• Trains and metro
• Car trips as a passenger
• Letting someone know you're nearly there
• Waking up at a specific station in the middle of the night
FAVOURITE DESTINATIONS WITH WIDGETS
Save the places you go to all the time — home, work, a friend's place — and arm the alarm with one tap from your home screen, without opening the app.
WORKS WITH THE SCREEN OFF
A background service keeps tracking the distance while the phone is locked and in your pocket. You'll see a notification while the alarm is armed: Android requires it, and it lets you check how far is left.
YOUR LOCATION NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE
Coordinates are used only to compute the distance to your destination and are discarded immediately. We store no trip history, we run no servers, we sell no data. Nobody knows where you are, not even us.
NO ADS, NO SIGN-UP
No account to create and no advertising to dodge.
English and Spanish.
BACKGROUND LOCATION PERMISSION
The app needs background location access because its only purpose is to alert you while you travel, with the app closed and the screen off. Without that permission the alarm cannot fire.

Sleep on the bus. The alarm rings when you reach your stop, not at a set time.
