Use this free open-source app to track everywhere you’ve been without giving Google a thing

Make Use Of: “… Dawarich…is an open-source tool that replicates the features I enjoyed in Google Timeline while giving me full control over where my data lives. I can run it on my own computer, on a small home server, or in a private cloud environment. There are no ads and no hidden data collection. It is simply my location history under my control. Dawarich gives you everything Google Timeline does, and then some. The interactive map shows your travel history as points, lines, or heatmaps. You can filter by date, zoom into specific trips, and see exactly where you’ve been. The statistics page breaks down your travels by year and month, showing total distance traveled, the number of cities visited, the countries explored, and the time spent at each location. I also like the Trips feature. You can create a trip between any two dates, and Dawarich visualizes your exact route, calculates distance, and tracks time spent. You can add notes to trips too, marking what you did at each stop. There’s also a Visits feature that suggests places you’ve visited repeatedly, so you can tag locations and build a personal geography of your life…”
