BetterTracks logs your location in the background and sends it to a server you control — not ours, not a third party
BetterTracks logs your location in the background and sends it to a server you control — not ours, not a third party. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics. Just GPS data, going where you tell it to go. Built for people who want a record of where they've been without handing that record over to anyone else: self-hosters, Home Assistant users, runners, drivers, hikers, and anyone curious about their own movement data. WHAT IT DOES - Tracks your location continuously in the background, even when the app is closed - Sends each point to an HTTP endpoint you configure, with optional API key auth - Shows your past 24 hours on a map, with a tap-to-inspect detail view for every point - Records battery level, network type, and air pressure alongside each GPS reading - Stores everything locally — old data auto-deletes after 24 hours DESIGNED FOR BATTERY LIFE - Uses iOS significant location change monitoring - 100m accuracy threshold to avoid wasteful updates - Pauses automatically when you're not moving - Batches uploads on your schedule (1 minute to 1 hour) - Filters out inaccurate GPS readings before storing YOU NEED A SERVER BetterTracks does not include a hosted backend. You'll need an HTTP endpoint that can accept JSON POST requests — anything from a Raspberry Pi running a few lines of Python to a full Home Assistant setup. PRIVACY - No accounts, no sign-up, no telemetry - Location data stays on your device until uploaded to your server - 24-hour local retention is automatic - You can disable tracking and clear all data at any time - Requires Always-on location permission (background tracking won't work otherwise) REQUIREMENTS - iOS 17 or later - An HTTP endpoint you control to receive the data
