Self Location Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Where did this week actually go? Self Location Tracker answers that. It quietly notes the places you visit and turns them into a diary you can read back, one day at a time. No check ins. No logging. No remembering to open anything. You live your day, and it writes itself. Open the app tonight and there it is: the cafe you sat in this morning, how long you really stayed at the office, the walk you took before dinner, the hours you spent at home. All of it recorded while your phone sat in your pocket. YOUR DAY, WRITTEN FOR YOU Places noted automatically, with arrival and departure times you never had to type. A timeline that shows exactly where the hours went. Journeys between places, labelled as walking, cycling or driving. A map of the ground you covered. EVERY DAY YOU HAVE LIVED A calendar of your whole history, colour coded by how far you travelled. Tap any date to reopen it in full. Watch first visits appear as you find new places. Nothing fades, nothing gets summarised away. PATTERNS YOU CANNOT SEE FROM INSIDE Find out which few places hold most of your waking hours. See when you are actually out and when you are not. Get a weekly reflection written on your phone by Apple Intelligence, in a voice you choose: a Coach who nudges you somewhere new, or a Mirror that just shows you what happened. NAME THE PLACES THAT MATTER Home, work, the gym, a friend's place, a client. Label them once and your diary reads like it was written by someone who knows you. BUILT PRIVATE, NOT MARKETED AS PRIVATE This is the part that matters. Your history is stored on your iPhone and encrypted there. There are no servers, because we did not build any. There is no account, no sign up, no email address, no analytics watching you use it. Nothing to leak, because nothing leaves. Lock the app behind Face ID. Set private zones the diary never records. Export everything as GPX, GeoJSON or CSV whenever you want, and delete all of it in one tap. Your data is genuinely yours, including the right to walk away with it. BARELY TOUCHES YOUR BATTERY It uses the same efficient location services Apple built for exactly this, not constant GPS. You will forget it is running. SELF TRACKER PLUS Three days free, then choose whatever pricing suits you. Plus keeps the diary writing, and unlocks Insights, weekly reflections, On this day, and unlimited place labels. Everything you have already recorded stays readable and exportable, free, forever. Plus only keeps it writing. That promise is in the app, not just here. Your day is worth remembering. Let it remember itself. Terms of Use: https://www.dropouts.in/privacypolicy/terms-of-use.html Privacy Policy: https://www.dropouts.in/privacypolicy/privacy-policy.html
