Not as part of Dawarich itself, but I think combination of our free tools will do it for you:
No data sampling is being done as of now, but it might be introduced some time later :)
I guess they are! I’ll take it as a good sign :)
Check the community app: https://github.com/sunstep/dawarich-community
Our official app for Android uses Google Play Services for location tracking, so it’s a no-go for the f-droid store, but we have a community (non-official) app published there, and the developer is in our discord: https://github.com/sunstep/dawarich-community
The main issue wasn’t the maintenance but the updates cadence :) We have a bunch of internal stuff to maintain for our cloud+staging+behind the scenes, so I decided it wasn’t worth it given we already have free cloud trial.
The points are being recorded even while your phone is offline, and will be uploaded to Dawarich with no issues once you’re back online :) I personally stored 435k points in our iOS app and then successfully uploaded them to my server
We had a demo server but eventually retired it as it was a hassle to maintain. You can use our cloud trial for 7 days to try the product and cancel it before your card will be charged
It’s totally possible, I think all the apps we support can store geodata on device until its uploaded. The only thing with OwnTracks client specifically, it will delete all tracked unaploaded data from the device if you change your destination server. But it warns you about it.
I’m feeling stupid :D Thanks! Won’t even fix the typo, this is hilarious
Not yet: family will come to mobile apps in one of the future releases.
I have a feeling I answered this specific question multiple times in the recent days, was it you who asked it? :)
The Family feature is free for self-hosters and will be added as a separate subscription plan to the cloud this summer
For tax reports? Nope, but for German tax offices it’s enough to provide estimation
Ah, of course! The Trips feature is what you’re looking for. Example: I track 24/7, and then go to the Trips page, hit “Create Trip” and set datetimes for the beginning and the end of the trip. Dawarich calculates and shows route on the map, and when you save the trip, time, distance and visited countries are being calculated. Check the example: 
I just don’t stop tracking 24/7 on my iPhone. Some users configure Automations to start tracking when they leave their home and stop when they are back. My battery drain was 5% in the last 24 hours, and if it’s too much, Dawarich supports half dozen 3rd party mobile apps to track geodata (including Traccar), you can try them all :)
Nothing stops you from recording 24/7 or only during a period when you toggled tracking on :) I’m also using Dawarich for tax purposes
You can import Google Timeline data, extracted via Takeout or from your phone, GPX, GeoJSON, .rec (OwnTracks’ format), KML and KMZ, so if you have some existing data, we got you covered. On iOS, there is also an option to import GPX tracks from your Apple Health, but this is a paid feature for self-hosters. It’s available for free for our cloud subscribers though.
As for the whys: It’s good to have a way to see where you’ve been at some point in time or when you visited a certain place. It’s also useful for reimbursement purposes, for example I use it to see how many days I worked from home and how many days I went to fork from the office, so I could properly file my tax report and get tax reimbursement. Or to get reimbursement from my employer for a business trip
Love the Eurotrip movie!
Well, Google killed their Timeline and I just dove into selfhosting at the moment, so I used OwnTracks for 6 months and decided it’s not enough :) That’s how Dawarich was born
Hope it will work well for you!
It’s also an option, of course, and I will post changelog to our blog, but as you could’ve read in the post, you can say no to the changelog feature and no request to chibichange will ever be made. You’re safe :)
