Europe's honor-system transit punishes tourists who forget to stamp their tickets. Fines run €41 to €115 on the spot. Unfined waits in your pocket and reminds you at every metro entry, tram stop, and bus stop across 8 cities — then shuts up for the next 72 hours when you buy a multi-day pass.
Unfined sits in the background and taps you on the shoulder at exactly the moment you need it — never a second before, never once during your snooze window.
Walk into a station, get a lock-screen push in your language with the local fine amount. Geofencing runs on-device — your location never leaves your phone.
When your motion shifts from walking to riding and you're near a tram or bus stop, Unfined asks "Did you just board?" with quick-action buttons.
Bought a 72-hour Prague pass? Tap I validated, pick the duration, and every reminder pauses until the window ends. Then protection resumes automatically.
Each city ships with the exact validator color, fine tiers in local currency, and the transfer rules pulled from the official transit authority.
Unfined has no server. No account. No analytics SDK. Your location is evaluated on-device against a city's station list and immediately discarded. We cannot sell what we never see.
I got fined €80 in Budapest for forgetting to stamp my transit ticket. The app I wished existed didn't. So I built it.
Yes. All city rules and station coordinates are bundled with the app. Your phone's GPS works offline. The only thing that needs connectivity is the initial App Store download.
iOS only fires geofence events in the background when you grant Always access. Without it, the app can still show you the city guide and let you snooze manually, but the automatic metro-entry reminders stop working. The coordinates never leave your device.
No. Unfined uses iOS's system-level geofencing API, which is power-optimized by Apple — it piggybacks on cell-tower signals and cached maps rather than continuous GPS polling. Typical impact: less than 2% of daily battery.
English and Simplified Chinese, both as first-class citizens. Switch between them instantly in Settings — no app restart needed. Station names stay in their local spelling (Deák Ferenc tér, Staroměstská) because that's what the signs actually say.
Mostly. Locals grow up memorizing the validator ritual. But if you're a short-term student, a digital nomad, or a tourist on your first trip to any of the 8 launch cities, Unfined was built for you.
Everything deletes with the app. No server-side account to close, no data to export, no lingering cloud backup to scrub. That's by design.
The app is in final App Review now. Drop your email and we'll tell you the moment it goes live — no marketing spam, one email at launch, unsubscribe with one click.
