Red & Green Zones
Stop guessing which turn to take — start prowling with purpose.
Spoturr is the app for New York City drivers who've wasted one too many laps circling the block for a free spot. The app answers the question "Where can I park for free right now, and stay as long as I need?"
— and it answers the question in the form of a red/green grid, laid over the map: skip red, chase green.
- Red lines mark curb zones where free parking is restricted.
- Green lines mark zones where free parking is permitted.
- Drive toward green and avoid red to find a free spot faster.
- Any block opens a detailed view of its parking schedules and zones.
The Grid
Set How Long You'll Park
Park on your terms — filter for curb that lets you stay longer.
Sometimes you want a guarantee on how long you can stay — whether you're leaving town or just don't want to move the car again for a few days.
The park-duration dial lets you set a minimum stay, and the red/green grid adapts — turning any curb red where a rule would catch you in that time frame.
Filtering for a longer park-duration can red-wash entire regions of the map — areas that'd be a waste of time circling.

Drive Mode
Prowl, don't pray — let Spoturr guide your search toward greener pastures.
- You drive, the map keeps up.
- Mount the phone, prowl toward green, and read the curb at a glance — hands-free.
- The DRIVE button enters drive mode — the camera tracks your movement as you look for parking.
The block you're on reads out top-left; a vehicle icon marks your position and heading, and a compass appears when you need it for orientation.
Drive mode adds controls to the bottom bar:
Auto-Rotate (B) and Lock Camera (C) set how the camera follows you.
Remain Time (A) shows the longest you can stay parked on each block, per its most lenient rule. The circle's fill indicates how much of the block's green-colored curb that rule accounts for. 3d 17h

Pins & Map Objects
Mark spots worth remembering — and where the car's parked.
Drop a pin on any curb — a spot to come back to, a favorite block, anything worth remembering. Pins come in colors so you can tell them apart.
Attach a pin to a vehicle and it becomes the car's location marker — plant it where you parked, and you and every co-driver see where the car is.
Bookmarks & Alarms
Bookmarks and alarms live on the map too. Pull up a cluster of just your bookmarks, or just your alarms, or both at once, to see them all at a glance.
A bookmark saves a whole block, rather than one spot — your saved blocks cluster on the map so you can spot them fast.
An alarm warns you before a rule kicks in — your alarms cluster on the map at the blocks they watch.
Bookmarks and alarms are tied to a specific block, though — tap into any block's Block View to set one, edit it, or bring a pin there too.
Block View
Look Closer at Any Block
Tap a block and Spoturr opens its full picture — every rule, every zone, and exactly what's governing the curb right now.
Reading a Block
View the block in detail — every rule, every zone, in real time.
Tapping a block in the grid drops you into Block View — the block's curbs in live detail.
Each sign tile inspects one rule at a time: its schedule, and its zones along the block.
If a different rule sharing that curb is more important to know about right now, the inspected rule's line goes dashed.
A dashed line means an overlapping rule is in charge of that zone. Red-dashed (): that other rule is what's blocking free parking there — now, or within your set stay. Green-dashed (): you can park free, but the other rule kicks in sooner than the one you're inspecting. Either way, its icon sits over the inspected rule's faded icon, and its tile holds the full story.
Each curb zone of the inspected rule has its own rule icon(s) and a small text banner on the map nearby. The banner shows the time remaining until the zone next changes state. Green banners like these Parkable Zone1d · 20h left / Sooner Rule20h left count down your remaining legal parking time; a red one like this Rule in Effect45m left shows how much longer parking is restricted there.
The park-duration dial tests a longer stay
— any zone where a rule would cut your stay short shows Will Activatein 2h.
Need the whole week, not just the next change? The selected rule's description, under the map, opens its full schedule — the same card you'll see from alarms and your Activity feed.
Acting on a Block
Mark your vehicle's location and set an alarm.
Inside Block View, a set of actions opens up through the pin, alarm, and bookmark buttons.
The pin button creates a new pin, navigates to an existing one, or brings one to this block. If a created or moved pin is attached to a vehicle, the action also re-parks the vehicle there — updating its location and notifying its co-drivers.
The alarm button creates a new alarm for the selected parking rule, or jumps to one you've set on another block.
A one-off alarm fires once, up to an hour before an upcoming rule transition. A repeating alarm keeps firing ahead of the rule's weekly transitions — your choice.
Everything placed on the block — pins, parked vehicles, alarms — lines up in the occupants capsule, top-left, and each row jumps straight to that item's editor — no hunting for it back on the map.
The bookmark button stars the block so you can find it again at a glance; each one takes a label and a short note, so future-you remembers why it's marked.
Each alarm has an audience (just you, or every co-driver of a shared vehicle), an optional email on top of the push, and a mute for whenever you need it.
