A real alarm
Full screen over the lock screen, through silent mode and Focus — like the alarms in the Clock app. Slide to turn it off.
Coming soon to iPhone
Fall asleep on the train. Wake up before your stop.
TripBell is an alarm set to a place instead of a time. It rings a set distance — or a few minutes — before you arrive, full screen and even on silent.
No account. Your location never leaves your phone.
How it works
Three steps, then sleep.
-
01
Pick your stop
Search for a station or an address. The places you have been before are one tap away.
-
02
Choose when to wake
500 m, 1 km, 2 km or 5 km before you arrive — or a few minutes, worked out from how you are travelling.
-
03
Go to sleep
TripBell rings as you get close. Add a latest time as well, and if nothing has woken you by then, the backup alarm rings anyway.
Why TripBell
Built for one job: not missing your stop.
Distance or minutes
Wake at a distance, or pick minutes for a train, bus, car or ferry. Minutes are an estimate; choose a distance when you want the exact point.
A backup by the clock
Set a latest time too. If the journey runs long and nothing has woken you, the backup alarm still rings.
Honest about the signal
Lose the signal in a tunnel and TripBell says so instead of pretending. If something needs fixing, it tells you what — and your backup alarm stays set.
Private by design
No account and nothing to sign up for. Your location is used on your phone to measure the distance, and it is never sent to us.
Made for the night
Large, steady numbers you can read half asleep, a dark mode that follows your phone, kilometres or miles, and a choice of alarm sounds.
Plans
The same alarm on every plan.
Premium is about how often you travel, never about how well TripBell wakes you.

Questions
Good to know.
When can I get TripBell?
It is in development and coming to iPhone first. This page will link to the App Store as soon as it is there.
Which iPhones will it run on?
iPhones on iOS 26 or later. That is the version that lets an app ring like a real alarm — on the lock screen and through silent mode.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log in to.
Where does my location go?
Nowhere. TripBell uses it on your phone to work out how far you are from your stop. It is not sent to us, and there is no trip history in the cloud.
Does a cancelled trip use up my free trip?
No. A trip counts only when its alarm has actually rung. Setting one up and changing your mind costs nothing.
