Have you ever been traveling on public transport, especially at night, and felt afraid to fall asleep because you might miss your stop? 😴🚍 You keep checking the map, tracking the distance, maybe even setting a rough time-based alarm, but that’s unreliable. And worse, you don’t want to wake up everyone on the bus or train just to get off at your stop. That’s exactly why I built DestMate. DestMate is a smart, location-based travel alarm designed for commuters, travelers, and anyone who naps on the go. You simply set your destination, and DestMate wakes you up as you approach it—using a private alarm through your headphones or earbuds, so only you hear it. 🚏 What makes DestMate different? - Location-based wake-up alarm – alerts you using GPS as you near your stop - Time failsafe alarm – backup alarm if location is unavailable - Headphone / earbud-only alerts – perfect for night buses, trains, and flights (with vibration fallback) - Live ETA & distance tracking - Missed stop alerts – so you know if you pass your destination - QR alarm sharing – share routes with friends instantly - Offline-friendly maps powered by OpenStreetMap ✨ Why DestMate? - Built specifically for public transport & travel - Let's you sleep peacefully without anxiety - Battery-efficient background tracking - No sharing of precise location data If you’ve ever stayed awake longer than needed just because you were scared of missing your stop, DestMate is for you.

For safety purpose, Swiggy Zomato delivery boy, reach your home, then alarm will be rang Due to this features, your app will get more value than ,you can go ahead into paid version 
This is a clever solution for commuters and travelers. From a systems perspective, I’m curious—how do you handle the location-trigger accuracy in low-signal areas like subways? Love the focus on 'earphone-only' audio for privacy. Great launch!
@noob_dev this is a big coincidence. I was thinking about this solution when I almost miss my train stop at Belmont yesterday. when is iOS coming?
When I’m travelling, I constantly check my phone to avoid getting off at the wrong stop. Defo think this app will help me enjoy my audiobooks in peace on the train.
How accurate is the location-based wake-up on long rides or underground routes? And does the offline mode still work well in areas with spotty GPS? Congrats on the launch! love the idea of arriving awake, not anxious
Love this — turning commute anxiety into a simple, location-smart alarm UX 🙌
