Real-time street parking for NYC. Green dots mean open. Red dots mean taken. Know before you go.
Live map
MagicSpot overlays parking data on a live street map. Green dots are available spaces, red dots are occupied — with a real-time counter at the top showing exactly how many of each are in your area.
The timestamp tells you exactly when the last data refresh came in, so you always know how fresh the picture is.
Smart filter
Tap the Available badge to show only open spots — the map clears to just green dots so you're not distracted by taken spaces.
Tap Occupied to flip it and show only taken spots. One tap toggles between full view, available-only, and occupied-only.
Navigate to spot
Tap any spot on the map and a card slides up showing its current status and when it was last checked. Hit Navigate to Spot and you're handed off to Maps with turn-by-turn directions to that exact space.
Alerts
Tap the blue bell button to set up alerts for your area. When a spot opens up, MagicSpot pushes a notification straight to your iPhone — so you head out at exactly the right moment.
No more obsessively refreshing the app. Just set it and get pinged.
