Your next train.
Right in the menu bar.

Delay, platform and when to leave, for high-speed trains across Italy. Nothing to open.

In testing on real trains. The trains on this page are simulated.

  1. Your train is already up there.

    The next departure sits in the menu bar, with no account to create. It refreshes every minute, with the trains of both high-speed operators in one list.

  2. The delay sits next to the time.

    Seven minutes late, and you saw it without looking for it. Ring the bell on a train to follow it. Your leave time moves with the delay.

  3. Esci ora.

    Leave now. You say how long it takes you to reach the station, and Binario counts back from the train.

  4. Binario 12.

    Platforms appear late. You get an alert when yours does, so you can walk to it instead of waiting under the board.

  5. Binario 9.

    Platforms also change. That gets an alert too, while you’re still on the stairs to the wrong one.

  6. It says when it isn’t sure.

    If the data stops updating, a question mark appears next to the delay and the panel says so. An old number never passes for a fresh one.

Twenty stations, in any direction.

The hard part is that the sources disagree.

One operator’s board and its live feed can report different delays for the same train. Binario shows the larger one, so you’re never surprised. It plans your leave time on the board’s number, because a forecast that runs high would make you leave too late.

The sources also fail. When one goes quiet, the list says trains may be missing instead of hiding it. After an error, Binario waits five minutes before asking that service for more detail.

It’s a native Mac app in Swift for macOS 13 and later, with no third-party dependencies and 173 automated tests, many of them against recorded responses from the real data sources.

Built, and in testing on real trains.

There’s no download yet. It comes when testing ends.
