Apps like Flighty for trains, country by country

9 November 2026 · 2 min read · Dominik Uršič

There's no single Flighty for every railway yet, because every country's train data is different. But in most of Europe there's now at least one app that puts your train on the Lock Screen. We checked each one on the App Store in November 2026.

What makes an app "like Flighty"

We looked for four things: live delays for your own train, alerts when something changes, a Live Activity on the Lock Screen, and a history of the trips you've taken.

Map of Europe showing train apps with a Live Activity by country: Peron in Slovenia, Nearly Departed and TrainTrack Live in the UK, PerRonduit in the Netherlands, Abfahrt! in Germany, Tågtavlan in Sweden, and TrainTime and Raily in Switzerland.

The list

App Where Live Activity Trip history Price
Peron Slovenia Yes Yes, rail passport Free
Abfahrt! 28 European countries Yes, plus widgets No Free, optional tips
TrainTime Switzerland Yes, plus widget No $39
Raily: Swiss Departures Switzerland Yes, with Pro No Free, Pro $2.99

Nearly Departed United Kingdom Yes, with premium No Free, £7.99 a year
TrainTrack Live United Kingdom Yes No Free
Realtime Trains Great Britain Not mentioned No Free
Träwelling Germany and beyond Web check-in service Yes, stats Free, open source
travelynx DE, AT, CH, LU, DK, IE and more Web only Yes, delays and map Free

The railways' own apps, such as DB Navigator and the SŽ app, are the place for tickets. Their App Store listings don't describe Live Activities or a personal trip history.

Slovenia: Peron

Peron follows every passenger train in Slovenia every 30 seconds. It alerts you when your train runs later than you choose, predicts your platform from where the same train stopped before, shows how often your change has worked, plans replacement buses into your trip, and stamps every ride into a rail passport. It's independent, free, and keeps your location on your iPhone.

How to choose

  • You commute on the same train most days: pick the app made for your country, with alerts at your own threshold.
  • You travel across Europe: Abfahrt! covers the most countries.
  • You want a record of every trip: Peron's passport in Slovenia, Träwelling or travelynx elsewhere.
