Hi all,

Does anyone know of any apps that track your location over time and map it so that you can see where you were at a given time? Preferably one that doesn’t upload any of this information to a/the cloud?

I’m a forgetful person and often wonder “what was I don’t last Tuessday?” or “When did I get home?” or “How long was I at X?”. Sometimes I also just want to contribute to things like OpenStreetMaps for less mapped areas (though I know this requires very frequent pings).

I used to use this feature using Google Location History but stopped because I decided I didn’t want to give them any more of my data than necessary.

If anyone plays Legend of Zelda BOTW or TOTK, I’m thinking of it as a sort of personal “Hero’s Path Mode”.

    Home Assistant has some functionality similar to what your asking for and I think there is something like that available in Nextcloud as well.

    There is also a project called Traccar (I think that’s what it’s called) that you might look into.

    I mostly use location data for triggering reminders and smart home events but I know more is possible, just haven’t looked into it more deeply.
