Dawarich

With over 9,000 GitHub stars earned since Google killed its browser-based Timeline, Dawarich fills the gap with a fully self-hosted location history platform that keeps your movement data under your control. Built on Ruby on Rails 8.0 with PostgreSQL and the PostGIS spatial extension for geometry-based queries, Dawarich imports your entire Google Takeout location archive in minutes and begins rendering interactive maps immediately. The visualization engine supports five map layers — heatmaps, points, lines, Fog of War exploration tracking, and a 3D globe view — each powered by Leaflet and spatial SQL rather than browser-side computation. Native iOS and Android apps handle background GPS tracking with offline support, automatically uploading location points when connectivity returns, while third-party integrations support OwnTracks, GPSLogger, Overland, Home Assistant, Traccar, and PhoneTrack. The trip system lets you create route visualizations between any two dates, attach notes, replay travel paths with a timeline scrubber, and share trips publicly with phrase-protected links and per-section visibility controls. Immich and PhotoPrism integrations automatically overlay geotagged photos on your maps and trips, while AirTrail integration renders flight history as arcs. Statistics dashboards break down countries visited, cities explored, total distance traveled, and active days by year and month, with visit detection suggesting places you have frequented. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
