Trace Tags in action
Real scenarios where a simple scan changes everything.
Someone blocked you in
No more waiting around or leaving angry notes. Send a message directly to the car owner blocking you and get on with your day.
“Hey, I'm blocked in at Lot B. Can you move when you get a chance?”
— You
Someone parked in your spot
Politely resolve parking disputes without the awkward confrontation. Just scan their Trace tag and send a message.
“Hi! You're in my reserved spot (A2). Could you please move?”
— You
Their lights are on
Be the hero someone needs. Spot a car with its lights on? Let the owner know before their battery dies.
“Heads up -- your headlights are still on! Didn't want your battery to die.”
— Good Samaritan
Someone hit your car
Witnesses can leave a trace when they see something happen. Build a community that looks out for each other.
“I saw someone back into your bumper in the garage. I got their plate if you need it.”
— Witness
Car meet & community
Connect with fellow car enthusiasts. Compliment a beautiful build, organize meets, and grow your car community.
“Sick build! What exhaust setup is that? Would love to chat at the next meet.”
— Enthusiast
