Coordination, not commerce.
The whole product is one exchange of timing information between two neighbors who need opposite things at the same moment.
How does Coordn8 work?
You’re leaving
Open Coordn8, signal your departure, confirm the pin. When a neighbor coordinates, you’ll see how far out they are — and you can cancel any time before the handshake without penalty.
You’re looking
See live departures near you with a countdown on each. Confirm one, drive over, and let proximity guidance take you in. The exact spot reveals when you’re close.
Headed somewhere? Within a mile of where you’re going, Coordn8 starts lining up the best places to park, and you can still see if someone on that block is leaving. Comes with membership.
You’re already there
Pin where you left the car and read the street — cleaning schedule, posted signs, metered hours — free. Reminders before the sweeper comes, on that block or any other you use, come with membership. None of this needs another neighbor.
More about where you parked
Once the pin is down, see curbs where the city lists a meter and curbs where it lists no meter posted, and whether alternate-side cleaning is still on the schedule. That is the city's record, not a promise you can park. Comes with membership.
Before you head out
See where the cameras are before you leave: in your neighborhood, across the city, or along the streets you’ll drive. Coordn8 maps five types: speed, red light, bus lane, Flock license plate readers and NYC DOT traffic cameras. Tap a pin for its type and where the record comes from.
Some locations are approximate.
Your location stays yours.
Before the handshake, a departure shows as direction and approximate distance — never a street address, never coordinates. Exact location reveals only when both members are within about 100 feet, and that decision is made on the server, never on your phone.
When a handoff ends, live session location is dropped from the active map. Historical precise coordinates may be kept under encryption for up to 90 days for coordination integrity and safety review, then deleted or coarsened to a non-identifying area. We do not sell location data or use it for ads.
What happens when something goes wrong.
- Two-way ratings after every completed swap
- No-show penalties and a cooldown after a confirmed commitment
- Report anything unsafe at any point in a coordination — a person reviews it
- On the map, members show as a display name and standing signal — not a public profile of personal details. During a handoff, your matched partner may see what they need to find you (for example vehicle details via proximity-reveal). Phone numbers are never exchanged through Coordn8.
Why this is legal when others weren't.
Two apps tried this a decade ago and were shut down. Haystack let a departing driver hold a spot and collect a fee for it. MonkeyParking auctioned spots to the highest bidder. Both treated a public space as something a private person could profit from mediating. Both cities were right.
Coordn8 removed the exchange entirely. No member receives anything of value from another member. No space is held, assigned, or valued. What moves between two neighbors is a timestamp.
Community credits, in one line
Closed-loop, non-transferable, and never convertible to cash. They're issued by the platform and redeemable only in our perks hub — structurally the same as airline miles. They cannot be bought, and they never flow between members.
The hold isn't a fee
When you commit to a coordination, credits are held by the platform as a stake against no-shows — not sent to the other member. Cancel in time and it's released in full.
