Discover Your World, One Path at a Time TraceTrail turns your daily journeys into a personal heatmap, showing the roads you've travelled and the paths yet to explore. Ever wondered which streets you've never walked down? Which trails you've yet to discover? TraceTrail shows you where you've been - and where you haven't. Fully automatic: tracking runs in the background and knows when you stop - trips start and end by themselves, and GPS pauses while you're not moving to save battery. Completely private: no accounts, no data collection, your location history never leaves your device. Your data is yours: browse, rename and manage every trail, export to GPX, and back up or restore everything with one file.
