Czarha: Border Queues

Czarha helps you cross the border between Belarus and Poland, Lithuania or Latvia without wasting hours: it shows the waiting-zone queue, how long the crossing really takes, and when to set off for the checkpoint.

THE WAITING-ZONE QUEUE • How many vehicles are in the electronic queue and how that changed over the last hour. • How many were let through in the last hour, against the usual pace over 30 days. • An estimate of the wait until you're called in, and a trend: growing, steady or shrinking. • A warning when the queue jumps, stalls or moves slower than usual.

HOW LONG THE CROSSING TAKES • The median time of the whole crossing — from the queue to leaving the checkpoint — over 7 days, 30 days or all time. • A breakdown by leg: the departure side, the neutral zone, the arrival side. • Who is crossing right now, and other drivers' recently finished crossings.

WHEN TO LEAVE Registered in the electronic queue and still on your way? Enter your plate: Czarha finds your place, predicts your call, allows for the drive to the waiting zone and a margin, and notifies you when it's time to leave. On iPhone the forecast stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. The plate stays on your phone: the server only gets a one-way hash of it.

REPORT YOUR CROSSING At the checkpoint, stamp each stage with one tap: the queue, passport control and customs on both sides. Reports work offline, and you can stamp straight from the Lock Screen without opening the app. Your stamps anonymously show other drivers how long the crossing really takes.

NO SIGN-UP No name, phone number or email. The app creates an anonymous identifier, and you can save an access key to bring your reports back on a new phone. No ads, no analytics, no trackers.

Languages: English, Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Lithuanian.
