Are you traveling less than last year? Spending more time in one city? Dawarich spots trends you'd never notice on your own.

The Anti-Google Privacy Stack

Google uses your location to sell ads. We charge you money instead. That's the entire business model.

No Ads. No Data Selling. Ever.

Your data funds Google's $300B ad business. At Dawarich, your location data is the product you're buying — not the product we're selling.

Self-Host: Zero Trust Required

Don't trust anyone with your data? Run Dawarich on your own server. Your data never touches our infrastructure. We literally cannot see it.

Encrypted and EU-Hosted

All data encrypted in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest (LUKS). Stored in European data centers under strict GDPR regulations. You have full control over your data.

Open Source: Inspect Every Line

Don't trust us? Read the code. 8,300+ GitHub stars. Thousands of developers have reviewed it. No hidden tracking. No surprises.

I imported my Google Timeline to this self-hosted app, and it's so much better than what Google offers.

Megan EllisXDA Developers

Dawarich gives you everything Google Timeline does, and then some. There are no ads and no hidden data collection.

The UI is clean and user friendly. Basically no impact on battery.

It's way better than OwnTracks, Overland, etc. — it's so much more accurate.
