Parkwärter automatically reminds you when you need a parking disc — no stress, no extra device required.
Three simple steps — the app takes care of the rest
Automatically detects when you arrive somewhere — in the background, without needing to open the app.
Instantly checks whether a parking disc is required at your location — based on a continuously updated database.

Here you will find answers to the most important questions about Parkwärter
Parkwärter uses your iPhone's location services to detect when you arrive somewhere. Optionally, the app can also detect whether you were traveling by car. You don't need to open the app manually — everything happens automatically in the background.
Your location is only captured when an arrival is detected and sent to my server to check if a parking disc is needed there. Motion data (e.g. whether you were driving) is processed exclusively on your device and never sent to a server. There is no continuous location tracking. Learn more in my Privacy Policy.
No. Parkwärter works entirely in the background. Once you've granted the permissions, the app automatically detects your arrivals — even when it's closed.
The database is continuously updated and covers a growing number of parking areas in Germany. The decision is based on the stored parking rules at your location. Please note: The app provides a recommendation but does not replace your own judgment on site. When in doubt, it's better to place a parking disc.
Parkwärter is available as a subscription, e.g. for €0.99 per week, €1.99 per month, or €12.99 per year. The costs cover ongoing server and infrastructure expenses. As a solo developer, subscriptions help me keep the app reliable and improve it over time.
