Pan the map. Curbs turn red-to-green by time left before the next sweep. Tap to save — and curbwise warns you fifteen minutes before the truck rolls.

Free, and no account to make. Curbwise Plus is optional — $1/month or $10/year.

Why curbwise

Apple & Google show you where you parked. Curbwise warns you when to move.
Color-coded curbs — red, orange, green — so safe spots pop without reading every sign.
Street sweeping and posted hourly limits in one map, both alerted before the ticket lands.
The part that saves you a ticket is free. Plus adds extra cars, sharing, and earlier warnings.

A look inside

Pan the map and the pin moves with it; nearby curbs are painted red (sweep imminent) through green (days to go), so the next-best spot is obvious without reading a sign.

1. Glance — curbs painted red → green by how long you can park.

The home map with the pin on Hayes St; the card below names the block, counts down the time until the next sweep, and offers Save here.

2. Park — the pin lands on your curb, one tap to save.

The saved-spot sheet: the block's posted sweeping sign, time parked and time left on the 2-hour limit, and Moved / Walk / Share buttons.

3. Your spot — the posted sign, the clock, and the walk back.

A time-sensitive notification banner reading '2-hour limit almost up' over the Home Screen, above the curbwise widget counting down to the next sweep.

4. Get warned — before the limit, not after the ticket.

A watched block marked with a green bookmark on the map, the bookmark button on the bottom card filled in to show the block is being watched.

5. Watch a block (Plus) — claim it the moment it's swept.

The Manage screen listing two cars, the watched block, and sweep reminders, with each paid row tagged by a PLUS badge.

6. Plainly marked — every paid row wears a PLUS badge.

Home Screen widget showing the next-sweep countdown beside a small map of the parked block.

7. Home Screen widget — countdown + block at a glance.

First-launch onboarding sheet listing what curbwise covers and what it doesn't, with a Curbwise Plus tab alongside.

8. Honest onboarding — what we cover, what we don't.

What you get, free

One tap to save

The home screen is a map with a pin at its centre. Pan until the pin sits on your curb, check the schedule on the card below, and tap Save here.

Sweep warning

A notification fifteen minutes before street sweeping starts on your block — time-sensitive, so it breaks through Focus and Do Not Disturb.

Time-limit warning

For posted hourly zones (typically 2 hours, Mon–Sat), a heads-up before the limit is up. Tap "Snooze 1 hour" if you're skirting it. San Francisco only — Oakland doesn't publish that data.

Find a spot nearby

Glance the map. Red curbs sweep within hours, orange within a day, green beyond that. Tap a curb — or just let the pin rest on it — and curbwise traces how far that same rule runs down the street, so you can see where the safe stretch ends. The bottom card shows the precise time and a one-tap save.

Apple Watch

The next-sweep countdown on your wrist, laid over the block you parked on, plus a complication for your watch face — including the corner slots on Infograph faces, where the countdown curves around the bezel and takes its colour from how little time is left. Syncs from your iPhone automatically.

Home Screen widget

Countdown to the next sweep with a small map of your block. Pick which car it tracks, or point it at the next sweep across all of them.

Built for the car

Full CarPlay support in both cities. Nearby blocks come up on the car's screen ranked by how long you can park — no need to have opened the app on your phone first. Save before you leave the seat, or let curbwise auto-save the moment you unplug.

Hey Siri, I parked

"Hey Siri, I parked in curbwise" captures your spot hands-free and tells you when the sweeper's coming.

Walk back

The distance and walking time from wherever you are now to wherever you left the car.

iCloud sync

Your parking history follows you across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch through your own private iCloud account. No servers of ours in the middle.

Works offline

Both cities' sweeping schedules are cached on your phone. No data signal, no problem.

No account

Nothing to sign up for, no analytics, no ads, no third-party tracking. Open the app and park.

Curbwise Plus — $1/month or $10/year

Everything above stays free. Plus adds the extras below, and helps keep the city parking data up to date.

Track multiple cars

Each car gets its own saved spot, sweep schedule, and reminders. The home screen switches between them and the history filters per car.

Share a car

You and a partner see the same parking spot, updated live through iCloud. Whoever moves it, you both know.

Watch a block

Spot a good sweep-only block? Tap "Watch this block" and curbwise reminds you before its next cleaning, so you can park there right after for a clean week.

Custom sweep reminders

Add earlier warnings — a day before, two hours out — instead of only the free fifteen minutes.

Sound a real alarm

Your last reminder takes over the screen and rings through the ring/silent switch, like a Clock alarm — so a silenced phone doesn't cost you a ticket. Play a sample first to hear exactly what you're trusting. Requires iOS 26.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions. Terms of Use (EULA) · Privacy Policy

How it works

Park

Tap Save here in the app, save from CarPlay, or ask Siri — hands never leave the wheel.

Land the pin

Pan the map so the centre pin sits on your curb. The card below names the block and its schedule before you commit.

Get reminded

A notification arrives fifteen minutes before the next sweep. Move the car. Done.

Heads up

Curbwise covers San Francisco and Oakland, and tracks street sweeping plus posted time limits (time limits are SF-only — Oakland doesn't publish that data yet). Color curbs (red, yellow, white, green, blue), metered parking, and RPP zones aren't covered yet — they're on the roadmap. Built on the cities' open data: DataSF for San Francisco and Oakland's ArcGIS service for street sweeping.
