Features & Capabilities

OpenPaths (https://openpaths.cc) is a secure data locker for personal location information.

Using our iPhone app you can track your location, visualize where you've been, and upload your data to the OpenPaths website. You can then download your data from the website in a variety of friendly formats, including KML, JSON, and CSV. The OpenPaths API enables you to integrate your own software with the platform.

You can keep your location history to yourself, or you can share it with specific research initiatives, art projects, or educational programs as you so choose. The OpenPaths online interface allows you to manage who has access to your data. Your data is secure on the encrypted OpenPaths servers and cannot be accessed by anyone without your express consent.

OpenPaths is a new way for individuals to take ownership of, to work with, and to share the data that they generate in their daily lives. OpenPaths is a community project initiated by the Research and Development Lab at the New York Times Company.

This app doesn’t work, and hasn’t since I last tried for iOS11. It fails to sync my data and it’s display hasn’t been updated for larger phone screens. I miss the app, when it worked. I used this app for years because it did such a good job of unobtrusively giving me a way of seeing where I’d been, but unfortunately it seems the app just doesn’t work any more. ☹️

I kinda want this to still exist

Sync failures had me lose a month of data and recently seems a little bit abandoned. Got the app after a Jerr Thorpe talk over a year ago and loved playing with my own data in R and Python but lately the app feels pretty abandoned. Maybe time to delete sadly.
