Reporting idling commercial vehicles in NYC from start to finish with a single app. Idle Reporter makes the idling complaint process easy: five minutes from hitting record to hitting submit.

Features:

• Timestamp Camera: Record videos with time, date, and location. See how long you have left while you record.
• AI-Powered Form Filling: No more copying down addresses. Idle Reporter AI completes the report for you in one tap (subscription required).
• Easy Manual Editor: Prefer to DIY your report? Idle Reporter makes it quick and easy to fill out forms directly on your phone.
• Screenshot Generator: Automatically clip required license plate and owner info screenshots from your video.
• Status Tracker: Keep reports in Idle Reporter, then submit them to DEP as soon as you're ready.

Idle Reporter is an unofficial utility for filling out idling complaint forms. It isn't perfect. You alone are responsible for making sure that your reports are complete and accurate. Proof by Induction LLC is not affiliated with the Department of Environmental Protection or any other agency.
