The app automatically records your daily routes and places you stay—fully offline, without cloud services, without tracking you, and without selling your data. Everything stays only on your device.

⭐ Your daily routes – beautifully visualized

DayTrace tracks your movements throughout the day and displays them in a clean, intuitive timeline. Each day is stored separately, and you can swipe through your history with ease. See where you’ve been, how long you stayed, and how far you traveled—automatically and without manual input.

🗺️ Interactive map view

Explore your day on the map:

🔋 Reliable background tracking

DayTrace uses a lightweight foreground service to ensure consistent location updates—without aggressive battery drain. The app is optimized to run smoothly in the background, even on devices with strict power-saving restrictions.

🔒 Privacy-first by design

Your data belongs to you.
DayTrace does not upload anything, does not create an online account, and does not use analytics or advertising frameworks. No location data, no identifiers, nothing leaves your phone.

Your timeline is stored solely on your device and can be deleted at any time.
