Simply record your GPS tracks. "JustLogger" is an ultra-lightweight GPS logger designed to run with minimal memory (RAM). We stripped away the extras and focused on one thing: recording. ■ Set It and Forget It Start recording, then forget about it. The accelerometer detects motion and automatically lowers GPS accuracy when you're stationary to save battery. It resumes full accuracy the moment you start moving again. Leave it running all day with minimal battery impact. ■ No-Record Zones for Privacy & Power Saving Set up to 20 zones where recording is automatically paused — like your home or workplace. When you enter a zone, tracking stops and battery drain drops even further. Your privacy and your battery, both protected. ■ Multi-Track Simultaneous Recording Record up to 5 tracks at once. Want to log an entire trip while separately tracking a hike or bike ride along the way? JustLogger handles it all in one app. ■ Flexible Date-Range Export Export your logs in GPX format — the whole track, or just a specific time range within it. Clip a section from a long log, or use multi-track to record separately. Enjoy maximum flexibility in recording and exporting. Easily connect with your favorite map apps and services. ■ Built on 15+ Years of GPS Expertise I'm the developer of "Geographica," a GPS app for hikers. JustLogger is built on over 15 years of experience working with location data, engineered to produce the cleanest possible tracks. ■ Real-Time Info on Your Lock Screen Supports Live Activities on iOS 16.1 and later. View elapsed time, distance, and elevation right on your lock screen. (Can be disabled in settings.) ■ No Network Required — Fully Offline All data is stored locally on your device (automatic backup to your Google Drive is also available in settings). No internet communication whatsoever. It keeps recording reliably — deep in the mountains, overseas, or completely off the grid. ■ 18 Languages Supported English, 日本語, العربية, Deutsch, Esperanto, Español, Filipino, Français, हिन्दी, Bahasa Indonesia, Italiano, 한국어, Português, ไทย, Українська, Tiếng Việt, 简体中文, 繁體中文 ■ Terms of Use (EULA) https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
