Next Bus Helsinki2026
iOS widget app for checking common routes much much faster
Background
If you use HSL, finding when the next bus to work leaves can feel slow — open the app, enter both addresses, wait. Around 20–30 seconds for something you check every morning. So I vibe coded a widget with SwiftUI and Cursor. Two saved locations, next departure for each, direction and refresh controls inside the widget so the app itself almost never needs to be opened.
The widget appearance is customisable — I wanted it to look decent on any home screen, not just mine. The icon is based on the bus stop signs found all over Helsinki. Still a work in progress, but it will eventually land on the App Store.
