How It Works

What is QueueSafe?

QueueSafe helps you avoid long queues at government offices, banks, and other service locations. Check real-time wait times before you visit and get alerts when queues are short.

Queue Estimates

Wait times are estimated using:

  • Real-time signals from people at the location
  • Historical patterns from past weeks
  • Time of day and day of week trends

Confidence bars show how reliable the estimate is. More bars = more data = more accurate.

Send a Signal

When you're at a location, help others by sending a quick signal about the queue:

Fast
Under 15 min
Normal
15-45 min
Slow
Over 45 min
Offline
System down

You can send a signal once every 5 minutes. Your input helps make estimates more accurate for everyone!

Best Times to Visit

The heat strip shows typical busyness throughout the day. Taller bars = busier times. Use this to plan your visit during quieter hours.

Set Up Alerts

Get notified when conditions are favorable:

  • Queue alerts: When wait time drops below your threshold (15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes)
  • System online: When an offline location comes back online

Tap the bell icon in the top right to manage your alerts.

Your Privacy

QueueSafe is completely anonymous. No account required. We use a random device ID stored locally on your device to prevent spam and personalize alerts - but we never collect personal information or track your location.
