Read the group map at a glance

Four markers, and that is the whole language of the map.

Open

The number shows the estimated available spaces.

Hold requested

A neighbor asked whether someone can temporarily hold the spot.

Group boundary

The streets covered by the private parking group.

Taken

The report is removed from the map.

The problem

Street parking is frustrating

Circling the block after work wastes time, fuel, and patience.

Open spots disappear fast

By the time you drive past, the spot you saw is already gone.

Neighbors already help each other

Texts, group chats, shouted tips from the stoop — Spotlert just makes it organized.

A simpler way to share

Private groups

Each block runs its own invite-only group.

Fast spot reports

Two taps to tell neighbors a spot just opened.

Real-time updates

Spot changes appear to the whole group instantly.

Admin-approved members

Group admins decide exactly who gets in.

How it works

  1. 1

    Create a private group for your block.

  2. 2

    Invite trusted neighbors with a code.

  3. 3

    Report open spots as you see them.

  4. 4

    Get notified when spots open near you.

Get the app

Spotlert is on iPhone and Android.

Get a push notification the moment a neighbor marks a spot open on your block — and report one yourself in two taps as you pull away.

Works with the group you already have

Also for your household

Never text “where did you park?” again.

Save where you left the family car so everyone in your household knows where to find it — privately, and never shown to your parking group.

See how it works →

  • Park Here

    Save the spot, and add a note like “Level 3, near the elevator”.

  • I’m Taking It

    One tap tells the family who has the car right now.

  • Vehicle reminders

    A shared list for oil changes, inspections, and registration.

Built with neighborhood feedback

Spotlert is actively being improved with feedback from city drivers and neighborhood communities. Members help shape a simpler, more useful way to share parking updates.

A note on public parking

Spotlert does not reserve public parking and cannot guarantee that a reported spot is still available when you arrive. Availability is reported by your neighbors in good faith. Holding a spot is always voluntary and informal. Every driver remains responsible for following local parking laws, signs, meters, hydrants, and driveway rules.
