Earlier

What the offline timetable does
Enough to get you to the platform, and little else. Everything here works today.
Earlier
Leave on time
A countdown to the minute you need to head out. No re-reading the timetable.
Transfer at a glance
The next platform, and whether you can actually reach it — while the train is still moving.
Live delays, honestly
Where real-time data exists, times shift with it. Where it does not, you see the plan — and are told so.
Easier
Searches without signal
The whole Swiss timetable rides along on your device. A tunnel changes nothing.
Which carriage, not just which train
Classes, the dining car, room for a bike, and the sector to wait in — drawn wherever the operator publishes the formation.
Where to stand
Carriage layout and door side for many trains. Wait at the right end of the platform, not along it.
The national map, offline
swisstopo’s 1:100 000 map under every journey — optional, and kept on the device.
From your door, not the station
Search from an address, or to one. The walk at either end is part of the answer.
The departure board
Every stop’s next departures with their platforms — on the phone’s home screen too.
On your wrist
Next stop and countdown on Wear OS, for when the phone stays in the pocket.
Fourteen languages, seven of them dialect
German, French, Italian, Romansh, Spanish, English — and seven Swiss German dialects. You may be reading one now.
More fun
A whole day out
Several places in one day, with as long as you like at each — and the whole day on one picture.
How far can I get?
Everywhere you can reach in an hour, on a map. And where friends from three towns should meet.
Furt vo hie
One button for when you have had enough of here: it picks a place worth the trip and the next connection there — with a few lines on what you will find.
Your year in trains
Every journey you followed, counted on the device: how far, how punctual, which trains.
Spickle, one place a day
A square of map with no names on it and a dot on a station. Six guesses, each telling you how far off you are and in which direction — then a trip there.
Catch Me
A chase on real trams and trains: one Fox, a few Hunters, a city and an afternoon.

Short answers, in plain words.
What is Spick Me?
A free journey planner for public transport in Switzerland: every train, bus, tram, boat and cable car. The apps carry the whole Swiss timetable on the device, so a search is answered even with no signal.
Does the timetable work offline, without internet?
The Android, Linux, macOS and Windows apps do: the timetable is downloaded once, and every search after that is answered on the device — in a tunnel, abroad or in flight mode. The browser planner asks this site, unless it is on your home screen and keeps the timetable on the phone. Live delays need a connection, of course.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free, with no account, no advertising, no cookies and nothing to buy. Searches are answered and not stored; the privacy policy says exactly what is kept.
Is it an official SBB app?
No. It is an independent, non-commercial project by two people in Zurich, not affiliated with any transport operator. The timetable comes from opentransportdata.swiss and the transport undertakings, and where Spick Me and the operator disagree, the operator is right.
Does it show delays and platform changes?
Yes, where the operators publish them: delays, cancellations and changed platforms, shown beside the timetable rather than instead of it. Where a train’s formation is published, it also shows which coach stops in which sector.
Which devices and languages does it support?
The browser, Android phones and Wear OS watches, Linux, macOS, Windows and Pebble — and any AI assistant that speaks MCP. The iPhone app runs on real iPhones and is on its way to the App Store; the Apple Watch app is waiting for a watch to test on. It speaks fourteen languages, seven of them Swiss German dialects.
Can I ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini about Swiss trains with it?
Yes. Connect your assistant to https://spickme.ch/mcp — the AI assistants page shows how for each one — and it can plan journeys, read departure boards and plan days out. Its answers use the planned timetable, without live delays. Every journey also says how punctual its trains have been on the days before.
How does it get me there sooner?
It plans every change for how fast you actually walk, so it often finds a tighter connection and an earlier train. On the way it counts down to the minute you must leave and shows your next platform while the train is still moving.
