DropETA: The Route Planner Built for How Real Delivery Actually Works Most delivery route planners assume you have everything figured out before you leave the house: a pre-loaded manifest, a dispatcher, and automated SMS notifications.
DropETA is for everyone who doesn't work that way. It's built for solo drivers and side-hustle couriers who receive addresses via DMs, Facebook Marketplace messages, or WhatsApp throughout the day. You paste in a stop, the app optimises your route on the fly, and when a buyer asks "when are you coming?", you tap one button to copy their ETA straight to your clipboard and paste it wherever the conversation is happening. The feature that sets DropETA apart is ETA locking. Once you've told someone their arrival time, that ETA is locked, no matter how many new stops you add after, the app guarantees their window won't slip. No more awkward follow-ups to say you're running late because you took on another job.
It's a PWA that works on any phone, stores everything locally with no account required, and is entirely free. If you're a marketplace seller, food runner, or any kind of informal one-person delivery operation, DropETA is the tool the big fleet apps forgot to build for you.
