Many of our apps are designed to help people who live in New York City, and many of them are built using NYC open data.
When you gotta go, it's tough to find a bathroom in NYC. NYCPee finds your nearest public restroom and gets you walking directions in one tap.
Know before you go. Borough Bites surfaces NYC restaurant health inspection grades and violation history, filterable by borough, cuisine, and grade.
Anonymous, one-on-one conversations with someone who sees it differently. You're matched by disagreement, not agreement — private, pseudonymous, no outrage algorithm.
A day-before heads-up for Alternate Side Parking — including the exceptions that actually matter: holiday and emergency suspensions, not just the routine schedule you already know.
Built by engineers, for New Yorkers.
We're a team of software engineers based in New York City, with a combined total of almost 40 years of experience — from mobile apps to enterprise cloud software, and plenty in between.
We came together to build iOS apps for New York, powered mainly by the city's open data program. Our aim is simple: engineer genuinely useful tools for the residents and visitors of the five boroughs.
