ParkMark
Mark where you park.
Every parking app tries to be clever: Bluetooth detection, activity recognition, automatic everything. ParkMark bets the other way. You park, you tap one button, and your spot is saved. When you head back, a map and a compass arrow walk you to the car, and one tap clears it. No accounts, no ads, no cloud: your spot never leaves your phone.
One button, no ceremony
The whole app is a big PARK HERE button. One tap grabs a GPS fix with its accuracy and timestamp, and the card keeps you posted: "Parked 2h ago · 350 m away", with the distance updating live as you walk.
Walked back, not just pointed
The find screen shows your car and you on an OpenStreetMap map, with a compass arrow and live distance overlay. Prefer turn-by-turn? One tap hands off to Google Maps walking directions.
Made for garages
GPS dies underground, so ParkMark doesn't pretend otherwise. Snap a photo of the level sign, add a note ("P3, near the blue elevator"), and when the GPS fix is poor the app suggests exactly that.
A timer that nudges
Paid parking? Set a timer when you save the spot. You get a reminder before it runs out and another when it expires, deliberately approximate, so the app never needs alarm-clock permissions.
A widget for the muscle memory
The home-screen widget shows at a glance whether a spot is saved, and tapping it parks instantly, without opening the app first. While parked, an ongoing notification quietly counts the elapsed time.
On your phone, and only there
The spot, photo, note, and timer live in the app's own storage and nowhere else. No account, no analytics, no tracking. The only network traffic is map tiles; saving and finding work in airplane mode.

Got my car
One tap clears the spot, the photo, the timer, the widget, and the notification.
ParkMark is free, with no ads and no account. It's in closed beta on Android right now; the public release follows the beta. Want in? Ask through the studio contact page and we'll add you to the testers.
- Why doesn't it auto-detect when I park?
- Because auto-detect is the thing users of other parking apps complain about most: it guesses wrong in garages, on transit, and at drop-offs. One honest tap beats a clever guess, every time.
- Does it work in parking garages?
- That's what the extras are for. GPS fades underground, so you snap the level sign and jot a note; when the fix is poor, the app suggests it before you walk away.
- Where's the privacy policy?
- At labs.bunduk.com/parkmark/privacy. Short version: everything stays on your device, there's no account and no analytics, and the only network traffic is fetching map tiles.
