A day, rebuilt from motion.
Path records where you go and builds a private timeline on your iPhone. No check-ins, and no manual start or stop.
Stops become places. A thirty-minute stop at Four Barrel Coffee is recorded as a visit, with its address and arrival time.
Every trip has a transport mode. The ride to SoMa is identified as a drive, with its distance and speed.
The day takes shape on its own. Stays and trips are arranged in order while the phone stays in your pocket.
Everything stays on your iPhone. Everything shown here was processed on the device. No account and no upload.

Your day, recorded automatically.
Set up Path once. It records stays and trips in the background and arranges them into a timeline.
- Distinguishes stays from trips
- Path detects when you have settled somewhere and when you are on the move, with no input from you.
- Accurate routes
- GPS, motion and step data are combined to reduce drift and bridge signal gaps in the recorded route.
- Battery-conscious
- GPS stays idle while you are stationary and resumes when you start moving.
Your location history stays yours.
Your routes, stays and places are stored on your iPhone. No account, no cloud timeline, no advertising profile.
Stored on your iPhone
Your timeline is kept in a local database on your device. Path does not sync it to any cloud service.
Photos, with your permission
Path reads only the date and location of the photos you allow, to place them on your timeline. Nothing is uploaded.
Export or delete at any time
Export everything as a SQLite file, transfer it to another iPhone, or delete it permanently.
A day you can understand and edit.
Stays, trips and pauses are arranged in order. Rename a place, adjust a time, or correct the transport mode.
Patterns without sending your data away.
Steps, distance and places are summarised by week, month and year, all calculated on your iPhone.
- From a single day to many years
- Switch between day, week, month and year to see how your routine changes.
- Works with Apple Health
- Optionally connect Apple Health to view resting heart rate and sleep alongside your movement. Path only reads this data and never writes to it.
- Built for long-term history
- History is stored compactly, so years of records take up little space on your iPhone.
Frequently asked questions
- Where is my location history stored?
- On your iPhone. Path has no accounts and no cloud timeline sync, and your routes and places are not uploaded to us. Purchases are handled by Apple; Path sends only a random ID and your purchase status to keep Pro access in sync.
- How does Path affect battery life?
- Path monitors motion and keeps GPS idle while you remain in one place, then switches to precise tracking when you start moving. It is designed to run in the background throughout the day.
- Can I import my history from Arc or Moves?
- Yes. The importer at import.path.autheai.com converts Arc and Moves exports into files that Path can import.
- What is free, and what does Path Pro add?
- Recording continues on the free plan, and the most recent 7 days are always available. Path Pro unlocks history beyond 7 days, long-term statistics and complete data export. Plans and prices are shown in the App Store.
