What's new in 1.2 • Train of Thought now runs on iPad, and on the Mac. In a wide window your pages sit in a sidebar beside the map, and planning and the ride take the whole window. • Change the scenery during a ride and the train carries on where it was, while the new country fades in. • The 3-D world is calmer: trees and track no longer pop in as you approach, trees keep their shape in the distance, and water no longer flickers. It also takes less processing power. • Tunnels now only appear where a hill really stands over the line, and their entrances are cut into the hillside. • Rain and snow on the cab's windscreen stay where they land, gather where the wiper doesn't reach, and stop in tunnels. The wiper clears only the glass it sweeps. • Your Experience settings are remembered across rides and launches. • Your next journey leaves from the station where the last one arrived. • Terms of Use are now in Settings, beside the Privacy Policy. • The app now counts a few things anonymously, like completing onboarding or making a purchase, to show what is used and to help improve the app experience for everyone. Nothing identifies you or your device, nothing is shared with third parties, and you can turn it off in Settings under "About". Fixes • The cab's windscreen stays dark glass at dawn, dusk and night. • End and the camera button keep working after a pause. • Boarding no longer clips the ticket. • "Switch to the …" in the Depot puts the train on the line straight away.
A focus timer where every session is a train ride on a real map. Choose how long you want to focus. Train of Thought finds a real station about that far down the line from your home station. Board, and a 3D train runs the real railway on a live map for exactly that long. When you arrive, you keep a stamped ticket stub in your logbook. No account. No ads. No tracking. The app never asks for your location. ▶ HOW IT WORKS - Pick any length, eg. 25 minutes, 50 minutes, 1h30 or 2h30 - The departure board shows a real destination that fits, with its arrival time - Choose what you're working on, pick a seat, and tear your ticket to board - Watch the train follow the real line through cities and countryside - Arrive, and the stub is stamped with the time you focused ▶ BREAKS ARE STATION STOPS - On rides of 50 minutes or more, the train runs for 25, 35 or 45 minutes - Then it waits at a station on the line for 2, 3 or 5 minutes - Pause whenever you need to. Paused time isn't counted ▶ STEP OFF WITHOUT GUILT - End a ride early and the time you focused still counts - Your stub is stamped Stepped off and shows how far you got ▶ A RIDE YOU CAN SETTLE INTO - A live 3D map with buildings and terrain, or satellite imagery - Dawn, day, dusk and night light, set by the clock or by you - 21 soundscapes: a coach rumble that follows the train's speed, rain, forest, shore, white, pink and brown noise, soft piano and more - The screen stays awake, and the sound plays alongside your own music ▶ YOUR LOGBOOK - Every ride printed month by month on strips of ticket stock - Time focused, distance, day streak and average trip - 19 milestones, from First Departure to Border Crossing - A daily goal, with a progress bar that fills as you ride - Export your logbook whenever you like ▶ OUTSIDE THE APP - Widgets for today's focus, your week, your last stub and the journeys that fit the time you have - A Control Center button that boards a train in one tap ▶ WHAT'S FREE - Unlimited rides of every length - Tickets, seats, stubs, breaks and pauses - Chase and overhead cameras, standard and satellite maps, every time of day - The Clay, an unbranded study-model train - The Saloon and Rain soundscapes - Your logbook, all-time figures, 17 milestones and every widget - iCloud sync ▶ WHAT'S IN PRO - All 24 trains, from Japanese and Korean high-speed to Swiss, Austrian and American intercity - Cab view from the driver's seat, and a window-seat view - All 21 soundscapes - Rain and snow over the map - Muted and Mono map styles - Every insight: when you focus best, where your time goes, your lines on a globe - Purposes of your own - Your ride on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and as a StandBy departure board - Livery stripes, a nameplate and coach count for your train ▶ PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account and no sign-up - No location access: you choose your home station, and the ride is simulated - No ads and no tracking. The app counts a few things anonymously, like a ride starting, with nothing that identifies you or your device, and you can turn that off in Settings - Your journeys stay on your device and in your own iCloud. Turn sync off any time ▶ GOOD TO KNOW - Planning a route needs a connection. Once you've boarded, the train keeps running, and the app downloads the route's map before you leave - Routes come from OpenStreetMap railway data. Ride times are worked out from line speeds, not taken from timetables - Train of Thought is a timer, not an app blocker. It won't lock other apps Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.
