How ParkNoted Works

For Drivers: Find Your Car in 3 Steps
Step 1: 📱 Scan QR Code When You Park
When you park your vehicle, look for the ParkNoted QR code sticker on or near your parking space. Open the ParkNoted app and tap "Scan QR Code" (or use your phone's camera app if configured). Point your camera at the QR code and scan.
What happens:

Shop, work, travel - do whatever you came to do. Your parking location is safely stored in the app. You can view it anytime, even offline.
While you're away:
- App tracks your parking duration
- Calculates cost in real-time (for paid parking)
- Sends reminder notifications if desired
- Keeps your data for 30 days

If a parking facility hasn't set up ParkNoted yet, you can manually save your location by entering the details (space number, level, etc.) in the app.

You need internet when scanning to save the location data. However, you can view your saved parking location offline later.

The ParkNoted app is free to download and use for finding your car. If you reserve paid parking spaces, you'll pay the facility's parking rate plus a small service fee.
