BackBy
BackBy helps you explore freely while staying aware of when you need to head back. Choose a return location, set when you need to arrive, pick your travel mode, and start an explore session. BackBy estimates your return time and reminds you when it may be time to turn back.
Use BackBy for lunchtime walks, casual bike rides, errands, sightseeing, or any trip where you want to wander a little without losing track of your return deadline.
