Alarms that wake you by location, not time.

Drop a pin on your destination and pick how far out you want the alert. Astray watches the route and sounds the alarm as you approach — even with the app in your pocket — then tells you the moment you're there.

No account. No sign-up. Your location never leaves your device — ads keep Astray free.

Made for commuters

Never miss your stop again

Falling asleep on a late train or a long bus ride is easy. Missing your stop is worse. Astray keeps an eye on the route so you don't have to — and wakes you up just before you need to get off.

Features

Everything you need to travel without worry

Astray's alarm setup screen: a dashed orange ring drawn around a New York address, a Destination row with Clear, an Alert Distance slider reading 0.5 km, and a blue Set Alarm button
Free

Circle alarms

Search for a stop and slide to set how far out you want the alarm — 0.5 km at the tightest, 10 km at the widest. A dashed ring previews the zone first, and one tap arms it.

Astray monitoring an armed alarm: a solid blue ring around the destination on the map, and a card headed Monitoring showing the radius, the current distance, the destination and a red Cancel Alarm button
Free

Know it's watching

Once the alarm is armed the ring turns solid blue, and the card spells out exactly what's being watched — the destination, the radius, and how far away you are right now. Changed your mind? One tap cancels it.

An alarm, not a notification

Cross the edge and Astray fires a real system alarm — not a notification you can swipe away. It takes over the lock screen with the destination, works with the screen off, and stops only when you slide.

Live Activities & Dynamic Island

Your trip lives on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island — minutes to arrival, the exact arrival time, and how far you have left to go. When the alarm itself sounds, pause, resume, or stop it straight from the notification.

Astray's arrival alert partway through a journey: the headline You're Here! over a map of Quezon City Hall, with a Next stop row naming Ayala Station below the destination card
Pro

Multi-stop journeys

Chain several stops into one trip. As you reach each stop, Astray names the one you're heading to next — so a transfer never takes you by surprise — while a trip-wide Live Activity keeps your ETA and current leg in view.

Astray's off-route alert: a yellow warning icon above the headline You've Gone Off Route and the line You're moving away from your destination, with a destination card and a map
Pro

Wrong-turn alerts

Astray watches your progress and, if you start moving away from your destination, takes over the screen to tell you so — with an alarm behind it — while there's still time to turn back.
