Takto · A rail journal for iPhone

Every journey. Worth keeping.

Takto keeps your train journeys in one place. Import them from DB Navigator or a DB ticket PDF, or add them by hand. Then see where you’ve been on a railway map and watch the kilometres add up.

What Takto does

Before, during and after the trip.

  1. 01 · Import

    Share it from DB Navigator

    Open a connection in DB Navigator, tap Share and choose Takto. The journey is saved with its trains, times and changes. Readable DB ticket PDFs work too, and anything else you can add by hand.

    Takto is an independent app and is not affiliated with Deutsche Bahn.

    Takto’s Add journey screen with the options Import a ticket, Find a connection and Add it yourself, above a field for a link shared from DB Navigator.

  2. 02 · Companion

    Your next stop, on the Lock Screen

    On the day you travel, a Live Activity shows the next station, the platform and your connection on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

    Live details refresh while Takto is open. Automatic updates while the app is closed are still being prepared.

    Placeholder. A screenshot of Takto’s Live Activity on the Lock Screen will be added here.

  3. 03 · Map

    A map of where you’ve been

    Your journeys follow railway lines instead of straight strokes between cities, coloured by train type: ICE red, IC and EC purple, Railjet and TGV orange.

    Railway paths come from OpenStreetMap data and are approximate. Where no track data is available, stops are joined by a dashed line.

    Detail of the map legend: 46 stations, 7 journeys, line colours for ICE, IC and EC, and RJ and TGV, and the note that solid lines follow railway tracks while dashed lines connect stops where track data is unavailable.

  4. 04 · Insights

    Your travel in numbers

    Kilometres by rail, scheduled journey time, your furthest and longest trips, the routes you take most and the delays you recorded.

    Distances are estimates. Takto explains how each number is worked out.

    Detail of Insights: record cards for the furthest trip, 789 km from Hamburg Hbf to München Hbf, and the longest, 5 hours 51 minutes, above a punctuality card.
