## What is Path?

Turn every day into a clear map of your life.

Path is a privacy-first, all-day personal timeline. It records every trip out and every stay in the background, with nothing to start or stop. Sensor fusion filters out GPS drift and noise, so your routes match the way you went.

Automatic Recording, Always On
• Smart segmentation: Each day splits into stays, moves, and gaps on its own. No more manual check-ins.
• Transport mode detection: Path recognizes walking, running, cycling, driving, and many kinds of public transport, and learns your habits from your corrections.
• Battery-conscious design: Sensor use adapts to how you move, balancing recording accuracy and battery life.

A Clear Timeline and Map
• Card timeline: See your moves, the places you visited, and how long you stayed at a glance.
• Map styles: Routes take the color of their transport mode, and stay markers show place category icons.
• Frequent places: Edit names and boundaries, and turn a string of coordinates into "Home" or "Office".

Trips and Footprints
• Trips: Path detects trips away from home, lets you relive each one on a 3D globe, and creates a boarding-pass trip card.
• Footprints: Light up the continents, countries and regions, and cities you have visited. Each country and region gets its own passport page and entry stamp.
• Life Chapters: Divide your life into chapters by the cities you lived in, with a city timeline, key statistics, and frequent routes for each chapter.

Milestones and Share Cards
• Milestones: Earn medals for new places, walking and running distance, and recording streaks.
• Share Cards: Turn a day, a trip, a milestone, or the globe view into a card to share with friends.

Photos on the Map
• Photos and videos: See the photos and videos you allow on your map and timeline, so every trip has pictures.
• Smart grouping: Nearby photos group together to keep the map clean.

Historical Weather
• Historical weather: Relive the weather along your journeys, from clear skies and rain to snow and thunderstorms.
• Map effects: As you browse your timeline, the map shows the weather of that moment.

Health Trends and Insights
• Statistics: Track steps, distance, and calories, and set a daily goal.
• Apple Health: Connect Apple Health to see resting heart rate and sleep next to your day.
• Insights: Weekly, monthly, and yearly views reveal changes in your activity radius, your most visited places, and your farthest journeys.

Privacy First, Your Data in Your Hands
• Local storage: Location data stays on this iPhone, encrypted by iOS Data Protection. No account to create, no cloud sync.
• Data control: Export to SQLite, import a backup, or delete your data at any time.

### 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!
