LifePath - Follow Your Path

LifePath is a **private, automatic location journal** that builds a rich timeline of your day—every visit, movement, and place—while keeping 100% of your data on your device. No account. No cloud. No analytics. No ads. Just your life’s path—yours alone. ### Why LifePath? - **Automatic**: Runs quietly in the background using ultra-efficient deferred location updates. - **Detailed**: Captures 150–300 high-quality points per day for accurate visit detection. - **Private**: Every point, place, and movement segment stays on your device—never transmitted. - **Battery Friendly**: Optimized collection strategy (≈5–10% daily impact in normal use). - **Structured Insights**: Distinguishes visits (stops) and movement (trips) with inferred transport modes. - **Smart Place Detection**: Learns frequent locations (home, work, gym, etc.) automatically. - **Geofencing Assist**: Fast recognition when arriving at known places without draining your phone. - **Export Anytime**: Own your data: JSON (full backup), CSV (analysis), GPX (mapping tools). ### What You See - **Map View**: Visual clusters of places you spent time. - **Timeline**: Day / Week / Month summaries of visits and movement segments. - **Stats**: Time spent moving vs stationary; walking / cycling / driving breakdowns. - **Places**: Auto-categorized frequent locations with customizable names. ### Technology Highlights - Deferred background location collection (10m granularity, 5‑minute delivery batches) - Time-aware clustering (DBSCAN tuned for short stops + multiple same-day visits) - Speed-based movement segmentation (walking / cycling / driving inference) - Local reverse geocoding cache for readable addresses (no external APIs) - Event-driven architecture for real-time UI updates - On-device SQLite database with write queue + retry logic ### Your Privacy LifePath never sends your location data to a server. There is no signup, no cloud sync, and no hidden data flow. You can delete or export everything at any time. ### Battery Use LifePath uses a background-only, batched strategy. It does **not** continuously poll GPS or show the blue location indicator. Typical use adds a small, predictable battery impact. ### Ideal For - Daily routine awareness - Personal mobility journaling - Tracking time spent at recurring places - Travel retrospectives - Memory augmentation (“Where was I Tuesday afternoon?”) ### Data You Control - Raw location points - Visits (clusters) - Movement segments (with inferred mode) - Places + geofences - Processing runs (audit trail) All exportable. All erasable. ### Roadmap (Non-Promissory) Future updates may explore on-device trends (weekly summaries), improved transport detection, and optional tagging—still private. ### Not Included (By Design) - Social features - Cloud backup - Ads or tracking SDKs - Real-time location sharing Own your path. Stay private.
