What Toad does, the five cities it covers today, and what is coming next.

<p>Toad watches the blocks you park on and sends a heads-up before street sweeping or permit work starts, so you never lose a morning to a ticket or a tow.</p> <h2>Where Toad works today</h2> <p>Toad currently covers <strong>Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Chelsea, and Malden</strong>. Street-sweeping reminders work in all five. Moving-truck and construction permit alerts are live for Boston and Cambridge, with more cities on the way.</p> <h2>What you can do</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Get a reminder before sweeping.</strong> Pick the streets you park on, choose how far ahead you want the heads-up, and Toad notifies you before the sweeper comes through.</li> <li><strong>See permit activity.</strong> Toad flags moving-truck and construction permits on your block before they take your spot.</li> <li><strong>Save where you parked.</strong> Pin your spot and let Toad walk you back to it.</li> </ul> <h2>What is next</h2> <p>We are putting the finishing touches on the app ahead of its release on the App Store and Google Play. This is the spot where we will post coverage updates, new-city announcements, and release notes.</p> <p>Questions or feedback? We would love to hear from you.
