Gotta go? Find a bathroom fast.
It's tough to find a bathroom in New York City. NYCPee shows the public restrooms nearest to you and gets you walking directions in one tap.
Three taps between you and relief.
No sign-up, no searching, no scrolling through reviews. Open the app and the closest restroom is at the top.
Open the app
NYCPee uses your location to sort every public restroom in the city by distance, nearest first.
Pick one
See where it is, whether it's wheelchair accessible and whether it's open year-round, on a list or a map.
Start walking
One tap opens walking directions in Apple Maps. That's it — go.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
- Nearest first. Every restroom sorted by how far it is from you, right now.
- List or map. Browse the closest options, or see them all on a map that follows you as you walk.
- Accessible only. One switch shows just the wheelchair-accessible restrooms.
- The details that matter. Borough, exact location, accessibility, seasonal opening and notes.
- Directions in one tap. Walking directions open straight in Apple Maps.
- Works underground. The restroom list is built into the app, so it's there even with no signal.
90 wheelchair accessible · 394 open year-round
We don't want to know where you go.
Literally. NYCPee only needs your location to work out which restroom is closest.
Location while in use
Your location is used only while the app is open, to sort restrooms by distance. We don't store it.
No account
No sign-up, no email, no login. Open the app and go.
Free, with ads
NYCPee is free and shows a small banner ad. A one-time Remove Ads purchase turns them off for good.
Open city data
Restroom locations come from New York City's public open data, bundled right in the app.
Questions, answered.
Is NYCPee free?
Yes. Every feature is free. The app shows a banner ad, and a one-time Remove Ads in-app purchase turns ads off permanently. It comes back on a new phone with Restore Purchases.
Where does the restroom list come from?
From NYC Open Data — New York City's public listing of restrooms in parks and playgrounds across the five boroughs. It covers 446 locations.
Will the restroom be open?
Most are open year-round, and the app marks the ones that aren't. Opening hours vary by park and season, so treat it as a strong lead rather than a guarantee.
Something's wrong with a listing. How do I tell you?
Open the restroom in the app and tap Report Inaccuracy. It starts an email to us with the restroom's name already filled in.
Does it work without a signal?
The list of restrooms and their details are built into the app, so they work anywhere. The map and walking directions need a connection to load.
Does it work outside New York City?
No — NYCPee is all about the five boroughs.
What do I need?
An iPhone with iOS 15.6 or later.
