Just in time, in the nick of time, at the eleventh hour, on the clock, timely, punctual, on schedule, right on time, under the wire, in the knick of time, barely made it, last-minute, in the final moment, in the final minutes, edge of time, on the button, in the very moment, precisely timed, narrowly avoided, saved by the bell, running late, almost too late, almost missed it. These are some of the synonyms for the phrase "just the nick of time," which all convey the sense of something happening or being finished at the very last moment possible.
