🚆 Independent app for Indian train travellers

Never miss a booking window — or a train — again.

RailDesk is a reminder-first companion for Indian train travel — get alerted the moment the 60-day booking window opens, before Tatkal, before your journey, and around public holidays. Log your bookings, PNR & waitlist status alongside it, all in one place.

⚠️ RailDesk does not auto-refresh ticket status and shows no live train updates. It's a personal log you update yourself — always check current PNR status and running times on the official railway ticketing website or app.

A look inside RailDesk

Real screens from the app — reminders and holiday alerts come first, since that's what RailDesk is really for, then travel patterns, premium, Drive sync, and settings, with manual booking logging and spending at the end.

Core Features

Everything a train ticket needs, in one place

RailDesk replaces the scattered SMS confirmations, screenshots, and sticky notes with one organized log of every trip — free to use, no account required.

🎉

Public Holidays

See upcoming Indian public holidays, with a badge for the ones that form a long weekend — free to browse. Premium can alert you the moment the booking window opens for travel around one.

⏰

60-Day Booking Window Alert

RailDesk tracks the general-quota booking window for every trip and alerts you the moment it opens — plus Tatkal-day and journey-day reminders with a full-screen alarm.

🎫

Full Booking Details

PNR, train name & number, class, seat, co-passengers, fare, and status — confirmed, waitlisted, or cancelled — all logged per trip.

👥

Saved Passengers & Routes

Save frequent passengers, routes, and trains once, then reuse them for faster entry on every new booking.

🔀

Sort, Filter & Group

Switch between All, Upcoming, Past, and Cancelled tabs; sort by date, city, passenger, or fare; group bookings under month headers.

🔗

Share a Trip

Share a booking with a fellow traveller who also uses RailDesk, so you're both tracking the same trip.

📄

Import From a PDF Ticket

Attach your IRCTC e-ticket PDF and RailDesk reads the real text layer — no OCR, no guessing — always shown as a draft to review before saving.

Pricing

Free covers the essentials. Premium adds the rest.

No ads either way. Premium is a single monthly subscription managed entirely through Google Play Billing — RailDesk never sees your payment details.

Home Screen

Four widgets, at a glance

Drop a RailDesk widget on your home screen to check your next trip without opening the app.

How It Works

From booking to boarding

Log the booking

Add it manually, or import it straight from your e-ticket PDF — free either way. You review every field before it's saved.

Get reminded

RailDesk schedules the 60-day booking-window alert, a Tatkal-day nudge, and a journey-day alarm automatically — no setup needed.

Track & travel

Watch PNR/waitlist status, check the widget on your home screen, and share the trip with a fellow traveller if you're going together.

Privacy First

Built around your privacy, not your data.

No ads. No analytics or trackers. No account needed for the free features. Your booking data stays on your device — Drive backup, if you turn it on, goes to your own private, hidden Drive storage that only RailDesk can access.

Read the full privacy policy →

✓ Bookings, reminders & passengers stored locally in an on-device database — never sent to any server RailDesk operates
✓ PDF ticket import reads the file's text entirely on-device — nothing is uploaded
✓ Drive backup uses Google's hidden drive.appdata folder — not browsable by you, RailDesk, or any other app except through your own account
✓ Subscription payments are handled entirely by Google Play Billing — RailDesk never sees card details
