Let your phone watch the border for you — notifications are here

Wait times you can trust — reporting is now location-verified

Tap "I've arrived" when you join the queue and "I've crossed" on the other side — we do the timing for you. Every report now comes from someone who was really at the border, which makes every number on the site more honest. Your coordinates are never stored.
