Mind the gap, check the app

The London Underground board,before the barriers.

Every line a station actually carries, every direction it actually runs. Pick a train and the countdown rides with you on the Lock Screen. Paid once. No account. Nothing watching you back.

Coming soon to theApp Store

All the lines, including the awkward ones

Every line that actually stops here

Bank has the Waterloo & City. Tottenham Court Road has Elizabeth. Stratford has the Mildmay. Other apps lose one and hope you don't notice. Tubbie shows the lot.

Tubbie Status tab. Two lines affected, with detailed disruption text for Central and Waterloo & City.

Disruption-aware

The warning before the train

Tubbie's icon turns into a warning the moment a line you use is suspended or part-suspended. Know before you tap in. The Status tab tells you what's affected, when service resumes, and what's still running, so you can change route before the barriers, not the platform.

Tubbie Lock Screen Live Activity. Line name, destination, platform, and a large minutes-to-arrival countdown, with a Dynamic Island countdown above.

The countdown that knows when to leave

It follows the train, not you

Pick a train and the countdown rides on your Lock Screen until the train does. It fades as TfL's prediction gets shakier. When the train's gone, so is it.

Home Screen widget

A platform sign, on your Home Screen

Pick a station and a direction; the widget shows what's coming next. The direction picker scopes itself to the directions your station serves, so Chalk Farm offers Northbound and Southbound, and nothing else. It refreshes in the background, quietly.

Find a station

Your station, in two taps

Pin the stations you actually use. Saved on-device. Or tap Near Me and let your phone find the closest one. Your coordinates leave the device once, go straight to TfL, and aren't kept.

Tubbie Find Station. Pinned stations list with line-colour bullets.

Tubbie Find Station. Near Me list showing nearest stations by distance.

The short version

A board that doesn'twatch you back

Most free travel apps sell where you go. Tubbie is paid once and runs on your device. No account to make, nothing to log into. No server that knows about you. It doesn't need to.

Your TfL API key sits in the iOS Keychain. Encrypted by iOS, never written to disk in plaintext, never logged, only ever used to call api.tfl.gov.uk.
No analytics SDK. No third-party crash-reporting service. No advertising network. No third-party tracker of any kind. The app does not ship any of these.
Location is asked for once, when you tap Near Me. Used once, never stored. Not on your device, not on a server.
No account. No email. No push tokens. Tubbie does not know who you are.
