## What is Path?

Turn every day into a beautiful life map.

Path is an all-day personal timeline app built on privacy and continuity. It runs silently in the background, capturing every journey and stay with precision, requiring zero manual effort. Through rigorous sensor fusion algorithms, we filter out GPS drift and noise to ensure your timeline is accurate, truthful, and objectively preserves every moment of your life.

[ Automatic Tracking, Zero Effort ]
• Intelligent State Inference: Automatically separates your day into Stays, Moves, and Gaps. Say goodbye to manual logging.
• Transport Mode Recognition: Accurately detects walking, running, cycling, driving, and various public transit modes. It even learns your habits based on your corrections.
• Adaptive Battery Efficiency: Dynamically adjusts sensor usage based on your movement, striking the perfect balance between tracking accuracy and battery life.

[ Clear Timeline & Immersive Maps ]
• Card-Based Timeline: A clean, minimalist design that lays out your day's journeys, visited places, and durations.
• Immersive Map Experience: Switch freely between professional map styles. Routes are automatically color-coded by transport mode for smooth, real-time rendering.
• Personalized Places: Edit names and boundaries of your frequent spots, turning raw coordinates into meaningful memories like "Home" or "Office."

[ Spatial Memories with Photos ]
• Media on the Map: Pin your authorized photos and videos directly onto your timeline and map, making every trip a vivid memory.
• Smart Clustering: Photos taken nearby automatically group together to keep your map clean and easy to navigate while preserving your rich memories.

[ Health Trends & Deep Insights ]
• Comprehensive Stats: Track your steps, distance, and calories burned, while setting and monitoring daily goals.
• Apple Health Integration: Seamlessly reads your Apple Health data, blending resting heart rate and sleep patterns for a holistic view of your wellbeing.
• Long-Term Trends: Discover changes in your life's radius, most visited places, and longest journeys through weekly, monthly, and yearly insights.

[ Privacy First, Total Data Ownership ]
• 100% Local Storage: Your location and timeline data are encrypted and stored solely on your device. No cloud dependency, completely safe from prying eyes.
• Full Data Control: Built-in tools for atomic data import, export (SQLite format), and deletion. Your data is entirely in your hands.

### 4/5 — Clean and Easy But Missing Key Feature

*2026-04-21*

Love the modern style of this app and ease of tracking however the app has gotten some of the places I’ve been at incorrect and unable to edit those location pins like I can with Arc.

**Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for supporting us and I am so glad you like how it looks!

Currently we are using Apple Maps as Geo reverse code service, and will switch to Google Maps API in the future.
 
We will add places editor and trails editor feature with version 2.2.0. For now, we are still working on core features and making it more reliable. Hope you will like it.

### 5/5 — 简单、稳定、好用

*2026-04-03*

界面清爽功能一目了然，没有花哨的修饰。实测定位非常稳定，希望开发者能一直保持这份稳定和简洁。

**Developer response:** 感谢您的支持! 我们下一版会针对电量, GPS漂移, 后台持续会话进一步优化, 欢迎期待!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.8 — 2026-09-04

This update improves tracking continuity and timeline accuracy, significantly reducing ghost routes caused by GPS drift while preserving genuine turns and meaningful stays.

New
• Cross-Timezone Timeline: Full support for displaying trips across multiple time zones; data export and timeline maintenance now support custom start and end time zones.

Improvements
• Intelligent Timeline Repair: Reconstruct stays, moves, and routes within a selected range with high precision using recorded location samples, motion sensors, and step data.
• Place & Event Editing: View place history and adjust related stays when editing frequent places; merged moves now support changing the transport mode.
• Refined Interactions: Smoother date switching animations, improved settings navigation, and optimized touch target areas.
• Accessibility Enhancements: Improved chart accessibility support, with full compatibility for system "Reduce Motion" and "Reduce Transparency" settings.

Fixes
• Photo Map Alignment: Corrected a coordinate offset affecting certain photos taken in Mainland China.

### 2.3.7 — 2026-08-21

New
- Enhanced trajectory continuity in weak signal environments: Introduced an intelligent trajectory dead-reckoning mechanism. During brief GPS interruptions (like tunnels or indoors), it smoothly fills in the movement route and seamlessly reconnects when the signal is restored.
- Improved cross-timezone data management: Optimized trip recording logic in multi-timezone scenarios. All routes, place visits, and activity data will be strictly archived and displayed according to the "local time" when the record was generated.
- Upgraded map visual experience: Applied newly optimized map styles to enhance UI visual details.
Improvements & Fixes
- Optimized real-time path processing algorithm: Reduced trajectory gaps caused by sections with poor positioning.
- Improved timeline repair feature: Perfected the reconstruction mechanism for abnormal routes, significantly enhancing the physical continuity and chronological accuracy of repaired trajectories.
- Enhanced travel state recognition accuracy: Upgraded filtering strategies for location drift to accurately distinguish between driving, walking, and other travel modes, preventing base data interference.

### 2.3.6 — 2026-08-11

Improvements
- Further improved GPS drift handling to reduce false tracks while preserving real movement more accurately.
- Updated Timeline repair to rebuild affected routes more safely and improve route continuity and chronological ordering.

### 2.3.4 — 2026-08-06

Improvements
- Improved GPS drift handling, location validation, and route reconstruction to reduce false tracks and create more accurate, continuous timelines.
- Updated Insights access so free users can explore the complete current week.
- Improved navigation and interactions across Timeline, Calendar, Statistics, and Settings.
- Improved map interactions and photo browsing.
- Optimized tracking, maps, Timeline, and Statistics for smoother performance and better power efficiency.

Improvements
- More accurate transport mode detection, with suggestions you can accept when Path sees a better fit.
- Short trips and stationary pauses are preserved more reliably, reducing false gaps in your timeline.
- Reduced motion sensor work and smoother runtime behavior while tracking.
- Data import and export now cancel more cleanly and validate backup files before starting.
