## What is LifePath?

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.
