About this app

What Parkpin does

Parkpin solves two everyday headaches in one tap: forgetting where you parked, and getting a ticket because the meter ran out. When you park, drop a pin — Parkpin saves the spot, and you can add the garage level, a photo, and a note. Set how long you paid for and it counts down, warning you before time's up. When you're heading back, a compass arrow and distance walk you straight to the car. No account. No constant background tracking. No ads. Your spots and timers stay on this phone.

Features

Built to be useful, not noisy.

Save spot

Capture current location, garage level, a photo, and a note in one tap.

Meter timer

Set paid duration; countdown with a local notification before expiry.

Walk back

Compass arrow + distance from current position to the saved spot.

History

List of past parking spots with dates and notes.

Why it exists

The problem

Drivers lose their car in large garages and lots and get expensive tickets when paid parking expires; built-in 'parked car' features are limited and many parking apps require accounts, payments, or constant location access.

What's different

How Parkpin stands out

A single-purpose, offline park-and-return tool that combines a saved spot (with level/photo/note), a meter countdown with pre-expiry warning, and a compass walk-back — using only on-device location, no account, no payment integration, no background tracking, unlike payment-first apps (ParkMobile) or always-on trackers.
