SpotBack
For iPhone and Apple Watch

Find your way back.

SpotBack remembers your hotel room, parking spot, locker and seat. Snap a photo, and it reads the number for you. When you no longer need it, SpotBack clears it on its own.

How it works

Snap it

Point the camera at a key-card sleeve, a parking pillar, a locker or a ticket. SpotBack reads the room, level, locker or section, row and seat.

See it at a glance

Your spots show on the Home screen, on lock-screen widgets and on your Apple Watch. Lockers get a live countdown.

Walk back

Tap Walk me back and Apple Maps gives walking directions to where you parked.

Forget it later

Rooms clear at checkout, everyday parking the next morning, and seats after the event. Airport parking stays until you're back.

When things clear

Hotel roomCheckout day at noon (you pick the number of nights)
Parking6 AM the next morning. At airports, train stations and cruise ports: until you're back.
LockerAfter 4 hours, with a countdown on your lock screen
Seat4 hours after the start time on the ticket, or at the end of the day

You can extend or clear anything early. Cleared items wait in History for 7 days in case you need them back.

Private by design

Everything stays on your iPhone. SpotBack has no accounts, no servers, no ads and no tracking. Photos stay inside the app, never in your camera roll, and are deleted along with the item. Read the privacy policy.
