A parking-assistant app that remembers exactly where you parked and walks you back to it — with GPS-guided navigation, a rewards system, and parking-timer features built around one simple daily frustration.
Forgetting exactly where a car is parked is a common, low-stakes but genuinely annoying problem — especially in large lots, unfamiliar areas, or after a long day. Most solutions to this are manual: dropping a pin in a generic maps app, or just trying to remember a landmark.
ParkFinder turns this into a dedicated, single-purpose tool: save your parking spot in one tap, then get GPS-guided walking directions back to it — turn-by-turn, distance remaining, and a clear "arrived" confirmation.
ParkFinder is a standalone consumer app built for anyone who drives in urban areas. It was designed and delivered by Nurbs.io as a focused single-purpose product — not a platform with dozens of features, but one core problem solved exceptionally well. The rewards mechanic was added to give the app network value beyond a single user's own parking habits.
One-tap location saving the moment a user parks, with a confirm/cancel step to make sure the pin lands in the right spot.
Turn-by-turn walking directions back to the saved car, with live distance remaining and a clear "you've arrived" confirmation screen.
Users can report open parking spots to other drivers and earn points redeemable for gifts, cards, or cash — turning the app into something with value beyond a single user's own parking.
Two features already designed and flagged in-app as "coming soon" — a parking meter timer with alerts, and a feature to help find open parking spots nearby.
Rather than delaying launch until every planned feature was ready, the parking-timer and spot-finder features are visibly present in the app — labeled "coming soon" — so users see the product's direction without the launch depending on every feature being finished.
Points are earned specifically for reporting open parking spots to other drivers — a genuinely useful action — rather than generic engagement rewards, so the incentive structure reinforces the thing that makes the app more useful for everyone.
Saving a parking location is the single most critical action in the app — if the pin lands wrong, the whole experience fails. Rather than auto-saving on app open (which can misplace the pin), the flow is one tap to save with a quick confirm/cancel step, so the user can verify the map shows the right spot before locking it in.



ParkFinder's core save-and-navigate-back loop is built to handle the most common version of this problem reliably, with a clear roadmap for the features still in development.
Not every good app needs to do everything at launch — sometimes the win is doing one thing really well.
