Arrivo asks: Are you okay? Have you arrived? You answer with one tap.
Trigger: your expected arrival time passes. Told: only you.
How it works
From setting off to arriving safely
Six simple steps. Your first trip takes a couple of minutes, because you also build your circle. Repeat trips take a tap.
The journey, step by step
What you do, and what Arrivo does for you.
- 1
Sign in and set up your profile
Continue with Google or Apple, then add your name and phone number. Arrivo shows a short three-page introduction so you know exactly what is shared and when.
- 2
Build your circle of trusted contacts
Add people by phone or email. Each person gets an 8-character invite code (for example ABCD-2345) and has to accept before they can see anything. You can see who has accepted, who is still waiting and who declined.
- 3
Plan the journey
Search a destination or drop a pin, choose walk, bike, car, train or metro, set when you expect to arrive and choose who to tell. For trains and metro, Arrivo plans the walk to the station, the ride and the walk after.
- 4
Start sharing
Arrivo explains why it needs your location before it asks, and only when you start your first journey. Your contacts are told you have set off and can open your live map.
- 5
Travel with confidence
Change your arrival time if plans shift, share a number-plate photo, or add a voice note. If you lose signal, Arrivo keeps saving your location and uploads it when you reconnect.
- 6
Arrive and finish
Confirm you have arrived. Sharing stops immediately, your contacts are told you are safe, and the trip appears in your history with its duration, distance and who it was shared with.
Meanwhile, your contacts see
They are told when you set off and can follow along. When you arrive, they are told you are safe. Everything below is read-only.
- Who and how they are doing: The traveller's name and a status chip: active, late, arrived or ended.
- Arrival time and freshness: The expected arrival and a label showing when their location was last updated.
- A live map: Their route and position, only while the journey is in progress.
- A call button: One tap to call, especially useful if a journey becomes overdue.
And if you run late
Arrivo checks on you first, then your contacts.
1 2 The journey is marked Overdue
Trigger: no reply after the grace period (about 10 minutes by default). Told: your contacts, with your last known location and when it was recorded.
3 A reminder is sent and contacts are shown how to call you
Trigger: still no reply (about 20 minutes later by default). Told: your contacts.
