Backtrack is a privacy-centric, open-source location logging solution that provides you with a history of location data for your device.
Backtrack provides an alternative to “Location History” solutions offered by many web mapping platforms, without selling your data or even sharing it with any third party.
Your data is your property, and Backtrack respects this by saving your collected data directly to spaces that you have full control over.
Pausing and resuming your location history is just one tap away, and you can view all of your collected data right in the app.

KEY FEATURES:
- Deep iOS integration that passively collects location data from your device with minimal impact on battery life
- Offers configurable parameters to fine tune how often the location engine collects data
- Choose whether to log data locally on device storage, or directly to a private iCloud Drive folder
- All location data is written directly to a human-readable CSV (comma-separated values) file
- CSV file is accessible through native Files app on iOS, and can be easily exported for storage or visualization using other tools
- Location history for specific days can be viewed directly in the app
