§ 01 — The map is home
Open the app. See your day.
Whereday opens on a map of today, each leg of the route coloured by where it led. Swipe up for the day dial, your stats and the day so far.
Tap the mini dial to replay the day. Layers turn visits, the travel path, GPS points, start and end, photos and “Are you here?” suggestions on or off. The + button saves where you are, logs a past stop or drops a pin.
iPhone and Android screenshots with an invented San Francisco journal.
§ 02 — Automatic timeline
Every stop and route, logged for you.
Arrivals, departures and the GPS path between them, in order, in the day sheet under the map. Tap a stop to confirm or correct it.

QUESTIONS
Where is my location data stored?
On your phone. Whereday has no account and no location server, so your history never reaches us.
Does Whereday track continuously in the background?
Yes, while tracking is on. Whereday logs visits and GPS points in the background. Accuracy, distance filters and auto-stop timers keep battery use in check.
How do I export my location history?
Export any date range as GPX, GeoJSON, KML, CSV, JSON, Markdown, OwnTracks or Overland. Auto Export can save a dated file to a folder daily, or as often as hourly. See the export reference.
Can I import my Google Timeline?
Yes, for free. Whereday imports supported Google Timeline JSON, plus Whereday JSON, CSV and Markdown files. Keep your original archive as well. Follow the import steps.
Does Whereday work with Apple Watch?
Yes. The Watch records GPS routes on its own and syncs them to your iPhone when they reconnect.
Does Whereday sync with iCloud?
No. Your history stays local. Export and import are the backup path.
Can I send points to my own server?
Yes. Webhooks POST GPS points in OwnTracks or Overland format to a receiver you run, such as Dawarich. They are off by default. Set up Dawarich.
What does it cost?
Free to download, and import is free. New users since version 1.8 choose a subscription, with a 7-day trial when eligible, or Lifetime: $49.99 Individual or $89.99 Family. Existing users keep the access they already had. See the purchase terms.
