Parkling
The parking timer
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Parkling is a simple parking timer that reminds you before your parking time runs out, so you don't come back to a fine.
Set how long you're parked for and get a notification before time is up. Turn on location and Parkling can start the timer for you when you arrive, and stop it for you when you drive away.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update makes it easier than ever to get Parkling set up right. A new welcome walkthrough explains every permission the app asks for and what it's used for. Parkling can now notice when you've actually parked and offer to start your timer for you, so you don't have to remember to open the app. You can also start and stop your parking timer with Siri - just ask, and Siri will confirm how long you'd like to park if you don't say. We also made parking reminders more reliable and gave the Settings screen a cleaner look.
