About TrailFollow
Two ways people fail to arrive together: everyone leaves at the wrong time, or the group gets split up on the road. TrailFollow handles both. MEETING SOMEWHERE Set the place and the time everyone should arrive. TrailFollow watches live traffic and tells each person when THEY need to head out — a 20-minute drive and a 50-minute drive get different alerts for the same 7pm dinner. No more "leaving now!" texts, no more one person waiting 25 minutes alone at the table. • Everyone sees who's on the way and their live ETA. • You get told when to leave, even with the app closed. • If someone's running late, the group finds out early — not at 7:05. • Set off and the meetup becomes a live map, so you can watch each other arrive. • Arriving tells you where everyone else is — who's already there, and who's minutes away. DRIVING THERE TOGETHER Caravanning or road-tripping? One person leads, everyone else joins with a short code, and the whole group sees each other live on one map. • Follow the leader — if the lead car takes a detour, followers get a tap-to-follow alert. • Hand over the lead mid-drive — if someone else ends up in front, one tap and everyone follows their route instead. • Nobody gets left behind — if the group spreads out, both the leader and whoever's fallen back are told, with the distance. Free for everyone. • Arrive together — the trip ends itself once everyone reaches the destination. You keep navigating with the app you already know — Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze. TrailFollow adds the shared layer on top. NO ACCOUNTS, NO SIGN-UPS Share a join code in Messages and you're going — one person at a time, or a whole saved group at once. Your location is shared only with the people in that trip or meetup, and only while it's running. CROSS-PLATFORM Friends don't need an iPhone to join. They can follow along from whatever phone they have, and the whole group ends up on the same map. FREE PLAN 2 meetups and 2 trips every month, with you plus one other person on each. Starting one and joining someone else's both count toward your allowance, which resets on the 1st. Reconnecting to something you're already in never counts. PREMIUM • Unlimited meetups and trips • Unlimited people in a group • Alerts if someone stops too long, goes off route, or loses signal • Trip history • Pinned favorite places and contacts, and saved groups you can send a code to in one message Great for dinners and group outings, road trips, caravans, motorcycle rides, family trips in two cars, and anywhere a group needs to arrive together. Note: TrailFollow uses your location while a trip or meetup is running so it can keep the group in sync, and can check it in the background so your "time to leave" alert still arrives with the app closed.
