DayTrace information
What is DayTrace?
DayTrace is your personal, private location timeline. The app automatically records your daily routes and places you stay—fully offline, without cloud services, without tracking you, and without selling your data. Everything stays only on your device.
? Your daily routes – beautifully visualized DayTrace tracks your movements throughout the day and displays them in a clean, intuitive timeline. Each day is stored separately, and you can swipe through your history with ease. See where you’ve been, how long you stayed, and how far you traveled—automatically and without manual input.
🗺? Interactive map view Explore your day on the map: See your route as a continuous track View stay points, addresses, and timestamps Center the map on your current location Switch between days seamlessly
🔋 Reliable background tracking
DayTrace uses a lightweight foreground service to ensure consistent location updates—without aggressive battery drain. The app is optimized to run smoothly in the background, even on devices with strict power-saving restrictions.
🔒 Privacy-first by design Your data belongs to you. DayTrace does not upload anything, does not create an online account, and does not use analytics or advertising frameworks. No location data, no identifiers, nothing leaves your phone.
Your timeline is stored solely on your device and can be deleted at any time.
📊 Statistics & heatmap See your movement patterns over time: Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or full-history view Distance traveled Number of places visited Most common locations Heatmap of your mobility Record days and top cities
Everything is generated locally using your stored data.
📍 Smart place detection DayTrace automatically detects when you remain at a location for several minutes. These “stay points” are shown in the timeline with approximate street name and number—never exact GPS coordinates shared externally.
?? Customizable & simple Clear UI with modern design Optional location accuracy display Manual refresh button Shows last 50 GPS points for debugging Offline-first—works without internet
🧭 Perfect for Personal mobility tracking Travel diaries Activity reflection Visualizing daily habits Privacy-conscious users Anyone who wants a location history without Google or cloud storage
Why DayTrace? Unlike typical tracking or diary apps, DayTrace does not depend on online services or accounts. It gives you a clear and honest record of your own daily movements—nothing more, nothing less. Simple. Private. Yours.
