How to Use Ekipita: From Station Search to Arrival Alerts

Ekipita is a station alarm for iPhone and Android. It compares your device location with a selected station and alerts you when you enter the chosen range.

Choose the correct station

Search for the station, then check the line and prefecture shown in the result. Stations can share a name. Ekipita is designed around station destinations, not addresses, facilities, or arbitrary map pins.

Set an alert radius

Choose a radius from 0.3 to 5.0km. A small stop may need less margin than a major terminal. GPS can be less reliable underground or in tunnels, so test a familiar route before an important trip.

Start monitoring and check its state

The app shows the destination, remaining distance, and alert range. Home-screen widgets are available on both platforms. Supported iPhones can also show status through Live Activities and Dynamic Island.

Check permissions and alert output

Location and notification permissions are required. If Ekipita confirms a safe earphone output, it can play the alert through the earphones; otherwise it uses vibration. It does not play an arrival alarm through the phone speaker.

Free and Premium

Free users can save two destination presets. Premium removes ads and allows unlimited saved destinations. Current price and trial eligibility should be checked in the store purchase screen.

Try Ekipita on a familiar route
