ProxAlert

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.
