Your drive time, at a glance.

Stop opening Maps just to see if traffic is terrible.

Arrival lives in your menu bar and shows live drive times for your saved routes — no app to launch, no tabs to juggle.

How it works

Set up once, glance forever.

1

Add your addresses

Enter your home and work addresses. That's it. Arrival takes over from there.

2

Glance at your menu bar

Your drive time lives at the top of your screen, always. The icon changes color to match traffic — green, yellow, or red. No app to open.

Traffic has a mood

Arrival tells you what it is.

Instead of just a number, every route comes with a mood — a one-liner that tells you exactly how the road is feeling.

Clear traffic — Zero drama today Clear traffic — Practically teleporting (dark)
"Rolling like butter"
Moderate traffic — Everyone had the same idea Moderate traffic — Just vibing in traffic (dark)
"Easy on the gas"
Heavy traffic — This is fine (it's not) Heavy traffic — It's a parking lot (dark)
"This is fine (it's not)"

Map & Incidents

See the full picture, live.

Pop open the map to see where the slowdown actually is. Fender-bender, road closure, or just a slow stretch — it's all right there.

  • Floating map window you can detach and move
  • Your route drawn right on the map
  • Accidents, construction, and closures at a glance
  • Severity shown so you know what matters
