Timeline: Daytrace

Look back at the path you traveled, and a forgotten day may find its way back to you.
A familiar street. A quiet café. A photo taken without much thought.
Timeline brings your routes, places, photos, activities, and reflections together to tell the story of each day—not only for the moment you record it, but for the moment you return.
Your day, gathered in one place
Enable location recording to organize the paths you traveled, the distance you covered, and the places where you stayed.
Photos are connected with the times and places they were captured. Add a short note or reaction to preserve not just where you were, but how the day felt.
• Record routes, distance, and travel time
• Identify places where you spent meaningful time
• Connect photos by capture time and location
• Edit place names and locations
• Add featured photos, notes, and emoji reactions
• Add meaningful visits to Apple Calendar
A calendar filled with your time
Return to today, last week, months ago, or a distant memory through daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly calendars.
Explore the routes and places from any selected period on the map. Familiar neighborhoods and faraway destinations gradually become a map shaped by your own memories.
Watch the day come alive
Start Replay and watch your journey move across the map. Places appear along the route, while photos return in the order they were taken.
Jump to any moment or adjust the playback speed. Turn a meaningful day into a vertical video filled with routes and photos, ready to save or share.
Every day moves differently
A trip far from home. A quiet evening walk. A morning run. A few hours of uninterrupted focus.
Record each experience in the way that suits it best:
• Travel
• Running
• Hiking
• Driving
• Cycling
• Walking
• Focus time
• Custom activities
Depending on the activity, Timeline can display distance, duration, speed, pace, steps, elevation, and other relevant details.
Enable Apple Health integration to bring running workouts from Apple Watch and compatible apps into your maps, replays, videos, and statistics.
A story that grows clearer with time
As the days gather, Timeline becomes a personal archive of the life you have lived and the places you have known.
• Daily, monthly, and yearly distance and time statistics
• Your most active days and frequently visited places
• A shareable Year in Review
• Home Screen widgets for today’s journey
• Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activities for running and driving
Bring the past with you
Import records from GPX files, Google Timeline exports, or Timeline backup files.
Preview your data before importing, remove duplicates, and reconnect photos with existing places. Older memories can continue naturally alongside the days you record now.
Your memories remain yours
Timeline is a local-first app with no account required.
Your records are stored on your device by default. They are not sent to developer-operated servers, advertisers, or data brokers.
Access to Location, Photos, Apple Health, Calendar, and Notifications is optional. Timeline requests access only when you enable the corresponding feature.
Export your records, delete a selected period, or erase all Timeline data whenever you choose.
Timeline Pro
Core route, time, distance, and photo recording remain free.
Timeline Pro helps you connect longer chapters and discover the patterns within them:
• Monthly, yearly, and custom-range Replay
• Videos connecting memories across multiple days
• Long-term statistics and period comparisons
• Memory maps covering longer chapters
• Detailed analysis for each activity
• Advanced instruments for custom sessions
• Private iCloud sync and restoration on a new device
Location accuracy and recording continuity may vary depending on GPS availability, device settings, battery conditions, and iOS system policies. Background location recording may increase battery usage.
