Ask people about their worst parking-app moment and you'll rarely hear about paying. You'll hear about forgetting to stop. The meeting ran long, the phone stayed in the bag, and the session kept charging in an empty space hours after the car was gone. It's the small, self-inflicted annoyance — and it's the one we set out to remove.

One less thing to remember

In zones equipped with cameras, you now only do half the work. You check in when you arrive, and that's the end of your involvement. When you drive out, the camera reads your plate and ends the session for you — automatically, to the minute.

What it means in practice

• No overpaying for time you didn't use because you forgot to end the session.
• No penalty for a session that lapsed while you were still parked — the camera has the accurate record.

How to tell you're in a camera zone

Camera zones are marked when you check in, with a note confirming check-out is automatic. In zones without cameras nothing changes — you stop the session with a single tap.

The most common parking mistake was never forgetting to pay. It was forgetting to stop. Now you can't.
