Carrow – Find My Parked Car

Carrow remembers where you parked and helps you find your car again. One big button, one arrow, nothing in your way. HOW IT WORKS • Tap "I've parked" when you leave your car. Carrow waits for an accurate position (GPS or network) and saves your parking spot. • When you come back, a large compass arrow points to your car, with the straight-line distance and the time since you parked. • "You're there!" appears as soon as you are within the accuracy range of the saved spot. • Tap "I've found my car" and everything is erased. AUTOMATIC SAVING (OPTIONAL) Forget to tap? Select your car's Bluetooth (car radio or hands-free kit) in the settings. When your phone disconnects from it after you switch off the engine, Carrow saves your parking location by itself and shows a notification: "Your car is parked here". To do this, Carrow uses your location in the background, only at that moment and for less than a minute. It does not track your trips and keeps no location history. This feature is off by default and needs the "Allow all the time" location permission (Android 10 and later) and Bluetooth access. For reliable results, set Carrow's battery use to "Unrestricted". A "Test now" button simulates the disconnection and saves your current position, as automatic saving will. If a spot is already saved, Carrow asks for confirmation first: the test replaces it and deletes its photo, note and parking timer. UNDERGROUND CAR PARKS AND LARGE PARKING LOTS GPS is weak underground: save your spot at the car park entrance (or tap "Save now" as soon as a rough position appears), then take a photo of the spot and add a note (level, space number, nearest exit) so you know exactly where to go. PARKING TIME REMINDER (OPTIONAL) Tick "Limited parking time", choose a duration (15 min to 3 h) or the end time on your ticket, and Carrow alerts you shortly before your time runs out and again when it ends, with walking directions one tap away. ALSO INCLUDED • Walking directions to your car • Show the spot in any map app • Share your car's location as a link with the app of your choice • Metres and kilometres, or feet and miles in the US • Compass corrected for magnetic declination • Dark mode • 7 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch PRIVATE BY DESIGN Carrow has no internet access: it does not even request the Android permission to use the network. Your parking spot, photo and note stay in the app's private storage on your phone and are excluded from Android backups. Nothing leaves Carrow unless you ask: "Share" sends a map link with your note, while "Walking directions" and "Show on map" pass your car's position to a map app or your browser. No account, no ads, no analytics, no subscription, no in-app purchases. Carrow works offline. Accuracy depends on your phone's GPS and compass. Between tall buildings and indoors, the position can be less precise: a photo and a note help in those places.
