A while back I drove my bike, mounted on the roof rack, straight into my own garage. I'd loaded it that morning, driven around all day, and by the time I pulled into the driveway I'd completely forgotten it was up there. The sound it makes is memorable. So is the repair estimate.
The obvious fix is a reminder, and I tried that. Apple Reminders will alert you when you arrive somewhere, which is the right idea done too quietly. It shows a small banner, honors your silent switch, and generally behaves as though it would rather not intrude. Thirty feet from taking the roof off a car is exactly when you want to be intruded upon.
Clearance is the loud version. You mark the places where height actually matters, the garage, the parking structure at the office, the drive-thru you use more than you should admit, and you set a radius around each one. When something's on your roof, you arm the app. As you come up on one of those zones, it does not whisper.
It's not really a bike app, which is why it doesn't have a bike's name. The problem is the same whether the thing overhead is a bicycle, a kayak, a ladder, a cargo box, or a canoe you borrowed and would like to return in one piece. Anything tall enough to catch on something, driven by someone who forgot it was there.
Vouchr proves there's a real person behind a job application, which is a stranger sentence to have to write than it would have been a few years ago. As AI floods hiring from both sides, it's getting harder to tell who and what is real. Vouchr is my attempt at rebuilding that signal: a credential a candidate verifies once, owns, and controls. Free for job seekers, paid for by employers.
