Strada
About Strada

A running log of
every car you spot.

Spot cars in the wild. Find local meets. AI fills in the make, model, and plate so you can post fast and keep going.

Why it exists

For people who notice cars.

Car people see things others don't - a rare badge in traffic, a plate from a state they've never seen, a cars & coffee flyer in the wrong window. Strada gives that habit somewhere to live.

Not a marketplace. Not a forum. A shared logbook for the community.

The two halves

Spotting and meets, side by side.

Two halves of the same habit - what you catch on a Tuesday walk and where you go on a Saturday morning. One feeds the other.

  • Location optional - share city/state or none at all
  • Drops into the live community feed of spots
  • Stays in your own journal to look back on later
Car meet detail view in Strada

Meet up

Cars & coffee, track days, parking-lot pop-ups. Find them on the map, RSVP in-app, or run your own.

  • Snap a flyer - AI pulls out the name, time, and place so you barely type
  • Map and calendar discovery, sorted by what's near you
  • Cover photo, time, place, and a live RSVP list
  • Photo gallery that fills in from attendees afterward
The logbook

Everything you've ever spotted, still there.

Strada is a logbook first. Every spot stays - searchable by date, location, and make. Scroll back a year and find the wagon you caught in a parking lot one October afternoon.

Common questions

FAQ

Is Strada free?

Yes. Strada is free to download and use on the App Store. There are no ads and no subscription required to log spots, track plates, or browse meets.

What phones does Strada work on?

Strada is an iOS app available on iPhone. You can download it from the App Store.

How are license plates tracked?

Tag the state when you log a spot, and your plate board fills in automatically. Over time you build a map of which U.S. states you have and haven't seen on the road.

Can I organize my own car meet?

Yes. Create a meet with a location, time, and description, and other Strada users nearby can find it and RSVP in the app.

Do I have to post in real time?

No, you can log a Past spot whenever. But know that Past spots stay on your profile, calendar, and plate map - they don't show on Home. Only Live spots feed the Home community.

What's the difference between Live and Past spots?

Live spots are tagged the moment you see a car. They feed the Home dashboard and the live community feed - that's the heart of the app. Past spots are for logging cars you saw earlier. They count toward your plate map and your personal spotted history but don't appear on Home. Strada is built around the live moment, not retroactive bookkeeping.

Does Strada need my location to post?

No. Location is optional. Adding a city or state helps your plate map fill in, but you can post a spot without sharing where you are. See the privacy policy for full details.

Does Strada identify the car for me?

Yes. The camera spotter uses AI vision to suggest make, model, year, and license plate from your photo. You can edit anything before posting.
