A commute app that helps you rest—and wake up before your stop
Napnav is for riders who want to use travel time to sleep without overshooting their destination. The app helps assess the journey, estimate how much rest fits, and notify when you are almost there.
Context
The situation
- Who it serves
- Daily and long-haul commuters who already nap on buses, trains, or coaches.
- What was needed
- People needed a clearer sense of how much sleep the trip allows—and a reliable nudge before arrival so rest does not turn into a missed stop.
- What we kept tight
- The first release had to stay simple on a phone: journey assessment, sleep window, and near-destination alerts—without burying the core job under extra features.
Approach
What we focused on
One primary loop: plan the nap, then wake in time.
-
Journey assessment first
Riders set or confirm the trip so the app can reason about duration and remaining time—not a cluttered travel suite.
-
Sleep window as a readable cue
The estimated nap span is shown plainly so someone can decide whether to rest now or stay awake.
-
Smart near-destination alerts
Notifications fire when the user is almost at the stop—timed to interrupt sleep gently rather than too early or too late.
-
Glanceable status on the phone
Screens favor large remaining-time and alert cues that work when someone is half-awake on a moving vehicle.
Journey
Core journey we designed for
From boarding to waking near the destination.
-
Set the destination
Confirm where the trip ends so the app can track progress toward that stop.
-
See the nap window
Review how much rest fits before alerts should start mattering.
-
Rest with the app watching
Background awareness keeps the near-destination check alive while the phone is locked.
-
Wake near the stop
A smart notification brings the rider back before they miss their exit.
