Remember where you parked, without thinking about it. Parkingly isn't just another "drop a pin" app. It automatically records your walking path the moment you park, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs from your car to wherever you're headed. When it's time to go back, follow that exact path in reverse on the map. How it works Park your car and tap Start. Walk to your destination. Parkingly quietly traces your route in the background. When you're ready to leave, open Return Mode and follow the arrow back to your car. Return Mode A single, glanceable screen with a big distance readout and a directional arrow that always points toward your car. Follow the breadcrumb trail or head straight for the pin. Breadcrumbs are automatically cleared as you pass them, so you always know how far you've come. Built for the places where you actually get lost Stadium parking lots. Theme parks. Street markets. Airport garages. Unfamiliar neighborhoods. Anywhere a sea of cars or a winding walk makes finding your way back a headache. Live Activity A lock-screen widget keeps your session visible without unlocking your phone. Privacy first All data stays on your device. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Your location history never leaves your phone. What you get Breadcrumb trail recording with smart GPS filtering Map view with full session history One-tap Return Mode with real-time distance and direction Lock-screen Live Activity Session history so you can revisit past parking spots
