Dawarich

Screenshots

Dawarich is a self-hosted web application to replace Google Timeline (aka Google Location History). It allows you to import your location history from Google Maps Timeline and Owntracks, view it on a map and see some statistics, such as the number of countries and cities visited, and distance traveled.

You can find changelog here.

Disclaimer

⚠️ The project is under very active development.

⚠️ Expect bugs and breaking changes.

⚠️ Do not delete your original Google Maps Timeline data after importing it to Dawarich.

⚠️ Export your data from Dawarich using built-in export functionality before updating to a new version.

⚠️ Try to keep Dawarich up-to-date to have the latest features and bug fixes.

Usage

Following sources of live data are supported:

To track your location, install the Owntracks app or Overland app on your phone and configure it to send location updates to your Dawarich instance.

OwnTracks

The url to send the location updates to is http://<your-dawarich-instance>/api/v1/owntracks/points?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY.

Currently, the app only supports HTTP mode of OwnTracks.

Overland

The url to send the location updates to is http://<your-dawarich-instance>/api/v1/overland/batches?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY.

Your API key can be found and/or generated in the user settings.

To import your Google Maps Timeline data, download your location history from Google Takeout and upload it to Dawarich.
