Stop feeding the parking ticket machine.

Unparked remembers where you parked and reminds you before you need to move — for street cleaning in NYC, SF, and Chicago, or for a meter timer anywhere else.

Be first in line when Unparked launches on iOS & Android.

How it works

Three taps. Zero tickets.

  1. Park the car

    Tap "I'm parked." Unparked pins your exact location. In NYC, SF, and Chicago, it also figures out the street cleaning schedule for that block and side of the street.

  2. We handle the rest

    Get reminders on the schedule that matters to you — night before, 1 hour out, 15 minutes out, or set your own custom time (perfect for a meter that's about to expire).

  3. Move it. Or don't worry.

    If cleaning's suspended for a holiday, we'll tell you. If a film crew filed a permit on your block, we'll tell you that too. If you forgot where you parked — yeah, we've got that, anywhere in the world.

Features

Built for people who street park.
Not for people who invested in a parking app.

Remembers where you parked

Tap once when you park, get walking directions back whenever. Works anywhere — this isn't limited to our launch cities.

Reminders that actually fire

Night before, 1 hour out, 15 minutes out — or set a fully custom time. Tiered alerts on a schedule you control. Reliability isn't a feature here, it's the whole point.

Works beyond street cleaning, too

No street cleaning coverage in your city yet? Set a custom reminder for a meter, a timed zone, or anything else with a clock on it.

Temp sign detection

Construction permits. Film shoots. Utility work. Unparked checks filed city permits near your car and flags potential no-parking conflicts before you get burned.

Household sharing

Everyone in your household keeps their own subscription — no shared billing. Group up to 4 people to see each other's parked cars and reminders. The only street cleaning app built with real households in mind.

Official city data

Schedules come from NYC, SF, and Chicago open data APIs — not crowdsourced guesses that go stale the moment no one's watching.

Private by design

No background location tracking. Location is only captured when you tap park. No account required. No ads. No data sold. Ever.

FAQ

Good questions.

Does Unparked need to run in the background?

No. Unparked has no background location tracking. You tap when you park, and the app handles reminders from there. Your battery and your privacy are safe.

How does Unparked know which side of the street I'm on?

Unparked uses your GPS coordinates, your phone's compass heading, and street geometry data to resolve the correct side of the street — then confirms with a quick prompt. Street cleaning schedules are side-specific, so this matters.

What if street cleaning is suspended?

Unparked checks suspension status for your city automatically — snow emergencies, holidays, and more. If cleaning is called off, your reminders adjust automatically.

What's the difference between the free and paid plan?

Free covers one vehicle and one user, with parking memory and manual schedule lookup — no push notifications. Unparked Plus ($9.99/year per person) unlocks push notifications on a schedule you choose, including custom reminder times, plus temp sign alerts and optional household grouping.

I don't live in NYC, SF, or Chicago — is Unparked still useful?

Yes. Automatic street cleaning schedules are currently limited to those three cities, but parking memory and custom reminders work anywhere. Set a timer for a meter, a timed loading zone, or anything else on a clock, and Unparked will remind you.

How does household sharing work?

Each person keeps their own Unparked Plus subscription — there's no shared billing. Paid members can group with up to 4 people to see each other's parked cars and reminders in one place.

Is my location data sold or shared?

No. Unparked does not run ads, does not sell data, and does not track your location between sessions. Location is only captured when you explicitly tap park.

Which cities does Unparked support?

Automatic street cleaning schedules are available for New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago at launch, with more coming. Parking memory and custom reminders work everywhere.
