Park Timer: Parking Timer

Parking apps often require maps or complex history logs, which are overkill for a quick session. Park Timer is a single-screen utility that focuses purely on time management for paid parking spots. Users input their start time and the cost per hour (or total allowance), and the app provides a clear countdown to when they must leave. It eliminates the anxiety of guessing how long you've been parked by showing remaining minutes prominently.

The app uses a simple, high-contrast interface suitable for quick glances while walking back to your car. The free tier allows one active session, which covers most casual visits. Premium users can track multiple vehicles or different parking zones simultaneously, making it ideal for families or those who switch between street parking and garage sessions. No data is stored long-term; it is a ephemeral utility for the current trip.
