A plate-first profile.
One personal profile covers your account. Each vehicle has its own details and privacy choices. Everything stays hidden until you turn it on; there’s no person-to-plate directory.

Leave a thoughtful note.
Messages go to the account that currently holds the plate, regardless of who is driving. Your plates share one inbox; replies return to your account.
iPhone comes first.
Less tapping.
More getting on
with your day.
The iPhone experience brings together camera capture, on-device spoken plate entry, a plate keyboard, and widgets that show just a count.
Keep your hands off your phone while driving. The hands-free flow is for speaking an outgoing message and hearing incoming counts. Message bodies are never the announcement.

The conversation stays in the app.

Private is the starting point.
Your plate
can be enough.
You decide what more someone gets to know.
Privacy, in plain languageFriendship goes both ways.
A request and an acceptance make a friendship. You can remove a friend, stop contact, or report a message.
Sharing is a clear choice.
Friends see your location only when you explicitly share with them. You choose a duration, and you can stop sharing.
Separate private safety recording remains off in this preview while retention and notice rules are finalized. How location is handled.
Room for a longer conversation.
Your desktop companion.
Your Android option.
Use the responsive web app to manage plates, catch up on messages, and use the same friendship and privacy controls. Camera and voice support depend on your browser and device.
Good to know.
A few questions,
before hello.
Do I have to be named on the title?
No. Claim the vehicle you drive and have permission to use. Loans, leases, company cars, and family cars all fit the honor-based claiming model.
What if someone has already claimed my plate?
Request a review and attach a registration photo. Your evidence stays private. An authorized person reviews the claim and records a decision; the public app does not automatically give the plate to either person.
About claim reviewsCan a plate be real but absent from Platd?
Yes. “Not claimed in Platd” means no driver has claimed it here. It is not a government registration check. Plate designs are chosen by the driver; the look is not proof of registration or ownership.
Can I use Platd while driving?
Do not handle or look at your phone while driving. The iPhone hands-free flow is being tested for spoken outgoing messages and incoming counts. Availability also depends on device permissions and iOS settings. Use the web app while safely parked.
Can I install it now?
The access page lists the current iPhone and web options. If an installation option is not available yet, it is clearly marked there.
