Tempo's home screen — live wait times on a map
Every Venue

Every venue, decoded.

Tap any spot to see live wait, capacity, and how the line is trending right now — plus the popular times rail so you know if it's only going to get worse.

Two Taps

Help your neighborhood.

A five-second check-in is all it takes. Pick a wait color, hit send, and the next person walking up to the door knows exactly what they're walking into.

Smart Alerts

Notified the moment it clears.

Set a wait threshold on any venue. The second the line drops below it, Tempo pings you — Live Activity on the lock screen, no need to keep refreshing.

Nationwide

Climb the rankings.

Every check-in earns points. Top contributors get recognized on the leaderboard — and unlock perks at partnered venues.

Year In Review

Your year, wrapped.

At the end of every year, Tempo turns your check-ins, your most-visited spots, and your contribution streaks into a shareable recap of your year out.

FAQ

A few questions.

Where does the data come from?
Real people confirming what they see at the door. Tempo blends those reports with a calibrated busyness model trained on each venue's history, so the first report seeds an estimate and every subsequent check-in sharpens it.
Why iOS only, for now?
Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and the kind of low-overhead background location we use to detect arrivals are iOS-native. Android is on the roadmap but it's a different feature set, not a port.
Is my location ever sold?
No. Tempo never sells location data. We use your location only to surface the closest spots and to detect when you've arrived at a saved venue — both run on-device, both are toggleable.
How is this different from Google's "popular times"?
Google's popular times is a historical model. Tempo is the live wait — what people in line right now are reporting. The two answers are often very different on a Friday at 8 PM.
What's the catch with founder pricing?
No catch. Early supporters lock in $2/month for life. We'll move standard pricing higher when the product is mature, and you'll keep the founder rate.

Skip the line.
For good.
