About

LocHook

Features
Read full description

LocHook is a background location utility that automatically sends your device's location to a REST endpoint of your choice whenever a significant location change is detected. Configure your endpoint URL, enable tracking, and LocHook handles the rest โ€” capturing coordinates, altitude, speed, accuracy, and reverse-geocoded city, region, and country data, then POSTing it all as a structured JSON payload. Key features: - Background location tracking triggered by significant location changes - Sends location to any HTTP or HTTPS endpoint you configure - Payload includes timestamp, latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, accuracy, city, state/province, and country - Add unlimited custom static key/value fields to every payload - Automatic retry queue โ€” failed transmissions are stored and retried until successful - Manual "Send Now" button to force an immediate location capture and transmission - Survives device reboots โ€” tracking resumes automatically if it was enabled Built for developers, home automation enthusiasts, and anyone who needs reliable location webhooks without a proprietary platform.
