Took a taxi after you parked? Apple Maps might've just overwritten your actual parking spot with the taxi's. π
Also: zero time limit reminders. It only tells you where, never when.

Resident parking permit doesn't reserve you a space. It just exempts your car from the usual rules in that zone. ποΈ

That parking lot you know perfectly well? Under snow, at 5pm in December, it looks like nowhere you've ever been. βοΈ
Snow buries the landmarks. GPS doesn't care.

I couldn't understand why a parking app needed an account just to remember where I parked.
So I built Parked without one.

A parking app needs your location to save your spot. That's it. π±
So why do so many also want an account, background tracking, and a dozen other permissions?
Parked doesn't. No account, no tracking.

Park β check the sign β start a timer β go. β±οΈ
That's the whole habit. A few seconds when you park saves a lot of frustration later.
