Problem
People who want to keep a comprehensive record of where they have been often rely on fragmented data sources—mobile apps, GPS loggers, or Google Timeline—and must manually stitch these logs together to view routes, travel statistics, or photo locations. This process is time‑consuming, error‑prone, and typically involves storing sensitive location data on services that do not guarantee strong privacy protections.
Solution
Dawarich offers a unified platform that automatically captures location points from supported GPS trackers, the Dawarich iOS app, or imported histories such as Google Timeline. The service transforms raw coordinates into interactive maps, automatically generated trips with distance and duration, daily timelines, and aggregated travel statistics. Users can enrich their maps by geotagging photos from Immich or PhotoPrism and export data in multiple formats (GPX, KML, GeoJSON, etc.). All data are encrypted in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest (LUKS) and hosted on European servers to meet GDPR requirements, ensuring that personal movement histories remain private and under the user’s control. A cloud subscription handles hosting, backups, and updates, while a self‑hosted option is available for organizations that need on‑premise deployment.
Target Audience
The primary users are privacy‑conscious individuals—travel enthusiasts, photographers, and daily commuters—who want an automated, secure way to archive and explore their movement history. Additionally, small teams and organizations can adopt the self‑hosted solution for internal travel logging or location‑based analytics.
