## What it is
An Android app (with an iPhone web app) that turns Google Maps Timeline (Location History) exports into an animated travel video. Users select date ranges, preview their journey on a map, and render an MP4 locally without uploading their data.

## Use cases
- visualize my year in travel from Google Location History
- turn my Google Maps Timeline. into an animated video
- create a shareable MP4 of my trips from Timeline data
- replay my location history on a map as a video
- make a travel recap video from Google Timeline export
- visualize where I went this month using Timeline data

## When to choose
- you exported Timeline. from Google Maps and want a visual travel recap
- you want an on-device or browser-based tool that never uploads your location data
- you want a ready-to-share MP4 without video editing skills
- you use Android 8.0+ or Safari 16.4+ on iPhone

## When to avoid
- you don't have Google Timeline/Location History enabled or exported
- you need a desktop application or non-Safari browser on iOS
- you need custom map styles or advanced video editing beyond the provided options
- you need a Play Store-distributed app with automatic updates
