## What it is
GeoPulse is a self-hosted, privacy-first web application that turns raw GPS points from trackers like OwnTracks, Overland, Traccar, and GPSLogger into a searchable location timeline of stays, trips, and movement analytics. It offers map visualization, dashboards, geofences, Immich/Memos/Weather integrations, data import/export, and a REST API, deployed via Docker Compose or Kubernetes/Helm.

## Use cases
- replace Google Timeline with a self-hosted location history
- turn OwnTracks GPS points into a timeline of stays and trips
- visualize my location history on a private map
- track travel distance and movement patterns analytics
- see my Immich photos on a map timeline
- import historical GPS data from GPX, GeoJSON, or Google Timeline exports
- set up geofences and location sharing with family

## When to choose
- you want full ownership of your location data on your own infrastructure
- you already use OwnTracks, Overland, Traccar, GPSLogger, or Home Assistant for tracking
- you need automatic stay/trip detection with configurable thresholds
- you want integrations with Immich, Memos, or weather enrichment

## When to avoid
- you need a turnkey phone tracking app with no self-hosting effort
- you only need simple real-time vehicle fleet tracking rather than personal timeline analytics
- you cannot run Docker/Kubernetes or a Postgres/PostGIS database
