Booply
Booply, a group alarm event app that makes being on time effortless. People are late because they underestimate travel time or forget when to leave. Booply calculates exactly when you need to head out, sends reminders, and even verifies you left.
For group plans, you can see friends’ progress in real-time, which adds friendly social pressure, and a leaderboard gamifies punctuality so being on time is rewarding. It works on your phone and Apple Watch for notifications, check-ins, and live updates.
Our research shows most late arrivals are due to poor time estimates, and early testing shows Booply actually gets people there on time. We want to make punctuality easy, social, and even fun.
Problem Managing time is hard. Whether you're heading out alone or meeting friends, people often underestimate how long things take or lose track of when you should actually leave. Booply helps you turn plans into action by telling you exactly when to go and keeping you accountable in a lightweight, friendly way.
