Spoturr
Read full descriptionHide full description
Spoturr is the parking app for New York City drivers who've wasted one too many laps circling the block. It answers one question — "Where can I park for free right now, and stay as long as I need?" — with a red/green grid laid over the map. Skip red, chase green. SEE FREE PARKING AT A GLANCE • Green curbs: free parking permitted. Red curbs: free parking restricted. • Covers 50,000+ blocks across all five boroughs. PARK ON YOUR TERMS • Set how long you'll stay, from 6 hours to a full week, and the grid turns red wherever a rule would catch you. • Remain-time markers show the longest you can stay on each block. • Holidays can stretch that to nearly two weeks. During an alternate side parking suspension, set your stay to a full week: the curbs still green are the ones the holiday frees up, and the markers show for how long. EVERY RULE ON THE BLOCK • Tap a block to see each posted rule, the stretches of curb it covers, and how long until it changes. • Open any rule's full weekly schedule. • Search for a block by street or intersection. DRIVE MODE: PROWL, DON'T PRAY • Mount your phone and drive. The map follows you and names the block you're on. • End the drive and Spoturr offers to mark where you parked. ALARMS • Set an alarm on a parking rule, like street cleaning, and get a push before it kicks in (time to move the car) or before it lifts (a spot is about to open up). • One-off or repeating, with an optional email. Snooze right from the notification. SHARE THE CAR • Mark where your vehicle is parked: at your current location, on the map, or by searching for a block. • Invite co-drivers with a link or QR code. Everyone sees where the car is and gets notified when someone moves it. • Vehicle alarms reach every co-driver, and the Activity feed shows who parked, moved, or joined. PINS & BOOKMARKS • Drop color-coded pins on spots worth remembering, and bookmark blocks with a note. Spoturr is built from the city's published parking-sign data. Signs change, so always check the posted sign before you walk away.
