Dawarich is a self-hostable web application that replaces Google Timeline (Google Location History), letting users track, visualize, and analyze their location history on interactive maps. It supports mobile tracking apps (OwnTracks, GPSLogger, Overland, native iOS/Android apps), imports from Google Takeout/GPX/GeoJSON, and offers trips, stats, family location sharing, and photo integrations with Immich and PhotoPrism.

Use cases

  • replace google timeline with self-hosted location history
  • import my google maps timeline data
  • track my location history privately
  • visualize my travel history on a map
  • share my location with family
  • see my photos on a map with immich
  • track location offline and sync later
  • get stats on countries and cities visited

When to choose

  • you want full ownership and privacy of your location data instead of Google's
  • you already run a homelab with Docker and use OwnTracks, GPSLogger, or Overland
  • you want to import and preserve years of Google Timeline history
  • you want family location sharing and photo-map integrations with Immich or PhotoPrism

When to avoid

  • you need a fully stable, set-and-forget product - the project warns of frequent breaking changes and requires reading release notes before updating
  • you don't want to maintain a Docker-based server with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Sidekiq
  • you only need simple one-off GPS logging without a web dashboard
