Never get stuck outside a locked bathroom again. GottaGo is the community-powered app that crowdsources bathroom codes for restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and anywhere else you need to go — fast. SEARCH ANY LOCATION Find bathroom codes for thousands of locations using Google-powered search. Just type the name of the place and tap to see the code. NEARBY CODES See bathroom codes for places near you, sorted by distance. Switch between list and map view. Adjust your search radius from 1 mile to All to see every code in the database. Perfect for when you're out and about and need a code quickly. NO CODE NEEDED Some bathrooms are unlocked — no code required. Contributors can mark these locations so you know before you even walk up. COMMUNITY VERIFIED Every code is confirmed by real users. See at a glance whether a code is Very Reliable, Likely Correct, or May Be Outdated — so you know if you can trust it before you walk up to the door. ADD & UPDATE CODES Know a code that isn't in the app yet? Add it in seconds. Code changed? Update it so the next person doesn't get stuck. You can even leave a note — like "push hard, door sticks" — to help others out. CODE HISTORY See previous codes for any location so you always have a backup if something changed. EARN YOUR RANK The more you contribute, the higher your rank. Go from Bathroom Newbie all the way to GottaGo Legend as you add and confirm codes for your community. PRIVACY FIRST Sign in with Apple means no passwords, no email address required. Choose your own username — your real name is never shown to anyone. GottaGo is free, community-powered, and built for the moments when you really, really need to go.
