On Time
A woman stepping out of her front door at dawn, checking her phone with a small confident smile
For anyone who can't be late

Leave on time. Every time.

No more being late. We check the traffic against your plans and tell you precisely when to go, based on how the roads are right now.

Try it free for 14 days

Free for 14 days. No account. Nothing leaves your phone but the journey question we send to Google Maps.

You know the routine

The half-wake to check the time.

Don't you hate that sick lurch when the map turns red? We built On Time because life can be complex and checking maps for traffic is a headache we can take off your hands.

Instead

We do the maths. You keep sleeping.

“I had woken up for the day but OnTime told me to leave 10 minutes earlier than usual, because the A27 was slow that morning. I left when it said, and got there while colleagues were late.”Fran, smiling most mornings now

How it works

We take the worrying out of travel.

We read your schedule, check the traffic ahead of time, and make sure you leave with time to spare.

1

We read your schedule

From your calendar, a rota link, a spreadsheet, or typed in. We read shifts, school runs, flights, appointments.

2

We check the journey

Traffic, train delays and everything in between — we check it for you so you don't have to.

3

We double-check, because traffic can change

Closer to the time, we look once more. Worse roads mean an earlier alarm, and we tell you why.

4

We ring, properly

Full screen, over the lock screen, from wherever you actually are. We tell you when to leave and when you'll arrive.

Who this is for

For everyone with busy lives, looking for some headspace.

Never the last car at pickup.

We moved your alarm for the roadworks. You were there when the doors opened.

The airport run, already worked out.

The non-refundable kind of late — case by the door at 4am, phone checked every ten minutes.

One alarm, set from the roads as they actually were. Coffee through security, gate to spare.

The shift worker

Walk in before handover starts.

We checked for you, 20 minutes before you usually wake up — while you slept.

We rang twenty minutes earlier than usual because the A27 was slow. Coffee in hand before handover.

Keep the slot you waited six weeks for.

Miss this one and it's another six weeks on the letter.

We rang at 13:40. Coat on your lap in the waiting room by 14:20, nothing to think about.

Match-day traffic starts hours before kick-off.

We moved your alarm for it. In your seat as the teams walk out.

Privacy, stated plainly

We don't keep your data and have no plans to.

There's no account and no server of ours. The only thing that leaves your phone is the question we send to Google Maps: a start point, a destination, a time.

  • No account, no sign-up, no email address.
  • No tracking between checks; no position stored.
  • No advertising or analytics code in the app.
  • Your rota and calendars are read on the phone, never uploaded.

Read the full privacy policy — it's short.

Questions people actually ask

Before you install

Do the alarms work if I'm away from home?

Yes — we take one reading of where you are before each alarm, so a night away doesn't catch you out. You can turn this off and plan from home only.

What about night shifts?

A night shift is just a shift with an evening start. Tell us what your code means (N, 20:00, say) and we check the roads and ring in the evening.

What if traffic gets worse after the alarm goes off?

We check again close to the time. Worse roads move the alarm earlier, and we say why.

Does On Time drain the battery?

No — a handful of short checks before each journey, nothing running in between.

What happens after the 14 days?

Your schedule stays free: shifts, Life, Events, Tasks and the month view. The traffic checks and the alarms are £2.99 a month or £29.99 a year.

Do I need an account?

No. Install On Time, tell us what's coming up, and that's the set-up done.

Where do my shifts and plans come from?

Type them straight in, or bring them with you — a calendar, a rota link, or a spreadsheet from your employer. The schedule guides cover the common systems.

Which phones?

Android and iPhone.

Leave on time. Every time.

No more being late. Nothing more to check before bed.
