So, I love having my locations visualized. I love Google Maps Timeline, I just think Google knows enough about me as it is.

So I built Dawarich to claim control over my location tracking and, since I have all the data, I can calculate whatever statistics I want.

It's open-source and self-hostable, so you can do too.

If you've tracked your locations using Google Maps and/or OwnTracks, you can export your data and upload it to Dawarich.

A couple of pictures so you could have an idea of how it might look like:

Dawarich is free, open-source and self-hostable. If you'd rather not run your own server, Dawarich Cloud does the hosting for you.
