iPhone app

The alert lands on your Lock Screen.

PermitSnag for iPhone carries the watches you already have, opens Recreation.gov already signed in, and counts your lottery deadlines down while the phone is in your pocket.

Almost there.

The app is on its way to the App Store. Start a watch on the web now and it will be waiting for you on the phone the day it lands.

Three things the app does that a browser on your phone cannot

01

Alerts on the Lock Screen, with nothing to set up

Install the app and the alerts start arriving. On the web, an iPhone can only send you a notification after you add the site to your Home Screen, and that step is the one almost nobody takes.

02

The booking page opens already signed in

Tap the alert and Recreation.gov loads inside the app with your session intact. No login screen, no password manager, no second search for the permit you were just looking at.

03

A deadline that counts down while the phone is locked

Put a lottery closing date on your Lock Screen and watch the hours drop. Glance at your phone and you know exactly how long you have left to apply.

Everything you already have, in your pocket

Sign in with the same account and the app picks up exactly where the website left off. Nothing to move across, nothing to set up twice.

  • Every watch you have already created, on the same account
  • Crews and lottery pools, with the same invite links
  • Your permit calendar and every key date we can source
  • Smart Alternates when the permit you wanted is gone

Put it on your phone before the next drop

Openings do not wait for you to open a laptop. Get the alert where you will actually see it.
