Choose how to record your own visits and routes, keep portable files, and understand what stays on your phone. Start with a setup guide or compare the tools before changing your workflow.
A practical walkthrough for using Whereday as a local-first place and route journal: what to record, how to review the map, when to export JSON, CSV, Markdown, GPX, KML, or GeoJSON, and how to treat optional webhooks as an explicit privacy boundary.
Look up an existing record or diagnose a day that looks incomplete.
Find existing Apple or Google records, check why a day is empty, and understand what a new recorder can capture.
Separate recording gaps, hidden points, delayed Watch transfers, and export filters while keeping existing history.
Choose recording settings, check your Watch workflow, or save a finished path.
Follow recording and export steps, then inspect the checked synthetic app export saved through Files and opened in gpx.studio.
Check the battery report, compare distance filters, and understand what auto-stop changes before a longer trip.
Check recording state, bring the devices together, read sync status, and verify the imported day.
Make a restorable copy or turn your visits into a readable note.
Keep separate visit and point files. See the synthetic file-picker import, saved counts after restart, and remaining physical restore checks.
Check local dates, travel days, and gaps. Add a manual stay and understand the CSV export.
Match Overland to the batch endpoint, check saved points, and understand queue limits. Includes a native delivery and database persistence example.
Inspect the native Markdown sample in a desktop vault and the checked Maps plugin with two synthetic visit markers. Mobile and scheduled delivery remain unverified.
Preview is free. Writing files requires the one-time unlock. Check the format and field requirements before relying on a restore.
Start and Stop control GPS and visit monitoring together. Learn about background permissions, distance filters, and auto-stop.
Record a route without your iPhone nearby, then let the Watch transfer queued points when it reconnects.
