24 alternatives to All roads lead home – a Google timeline replacement
I was a bit concerned when Google was sending comms about decommissioning Timeline on web. Then they did a mobile migration, and lost a bunch of user info. Started this app so I can always have a copy of my timeline on my icloud + server + device (3,2,1 rule) Hope y'all are able to find some value in it as well! BTW here is all the streets I've walked in NYC in the past 10 years: https://share.takeallroads.com/s/0Hq7jYxhS698Xyip-r4Prg (video version: https://imgur.com/a/e8p9aXt)
All Roads Lead Home is a personal timeline app that tracks every street a user has traveled, serving as a permanent replacement for Google's discontinued Timeline feature. It records complete location history across… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a…

Hey HN, after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own. Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway. For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary. So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.

Acti▲76Hi HN, I made Acti, an iOS app that automatically records the places you visit and builds a timeline of your life. It’s totally private, no accounts, no cloud, everything stays local on your device. The motivation: I wanted something like Google Maps Timeline, but without data collection or ads. Acti just runs in the background, asks you to name new places once, and then remembers them forever. You can also add photos, comments, and ratings. What I’m struggling with: because there are no registrations, I don’t really know how to connect with users, gather feedback, or even measure if people…

Hi HN, I’m full stack developer (formerly iOS) and I just launched Nomad Tracker, a native iOS app to help digital nomads track physical presence across countries for visa limits and tax residency. Key idea: everything runs on-device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics. Features: - Calendar-based day tracking per country. - Schengen 90/180 and other visa “runways”. - Fiscal residency day counts and alerts. - Optional background location logging (battery-efficient, never overwrites manual data). - Photo import using metadata only (no image access). - On-device “Fiscal Oracle” using…

Hey guys, I wanted to show you an application I built during the last year and a half or so. It's called Dawarich and it's a free open-source self-hostable web app that is aimed to replace Google Timeline. And it did for me and couple of hundreds of self-hosters. Recently my partner and I also launched a subscription-based cloud version, so those who don't have time or not interested in self-hosting could use it too. So, what Dawarich can do for you? - It visualized your movements - You can track your movements with our iOS app (I partnered up with a friend to make it happen) or one of 3rd…

Hey HN, My co-founders and I have been building GridTravel, a free iOS app for planning and sharing travel routes with turn-by-turn GPS nav. We just launched yesterday after App Store approval. We're three 21-year-old cofounders and best friends since middle school. We built GridTravel after years of frustration navigating new cities on every trip we took together. The idea: most people either search Google for "top 10 places to visit in…" lists or go on social media to get inspiration on where to go. GridTravel is built around user-generated routes — actual paths someone walked, that you…
