Where is my location history stored?

On your iPhone. Path has no accounts and no cloud sync, and your routes and places aren't uploaded to us. Purchases go through Apple. To keep Path Pro in sync, Path sends a random ID, your purchase status, the original transaction ID, and when the app was last active. None of this includes your location history.

How does Path affect battery life?

Path watches for motion and lets GPS rest while you stay in one place, then switches to precise tracking when you start moving. It's built to run in the background all day.

Can Path show where I've traveled?

Yes. Path detects trips away from home and shows them on a globe with boarding-pass cards you can share. Footprints counts the continents, countries and regions, and cities you've visited, with a passport page and entry stamp for each one. The free plan shows the last 7 days; Path Pro shows your full history.

Can I import my history from Arc or Moves?

Yes. The importer at import.path.autheai.com converts Arc and Moves exports into files Path can import.

A day, rebuilt from motion.

Path records where you go and builds a private timeline on your iPhone. You never check in or press start.

Your day, recorded automatically.

Set up Path once. From then on it records your stays and moves in the background and puts them on a timeline.

Knows when you stop and when you move: Path notices when you've settled somewhere and when you're on the way again, without you doing anything.
Accurate routes: GPS, motion, and step data are combined to cut drift and fill short signal gaps in your route.
Easy on the battery: GPS rests while you stay put and wakes up when you start moving.

Your location history stays yours.

Your routes, stays, and places are stored on your iPhone. Path has no accounts or cloud sync, and it doesn't build an advertising profile.

Stored on your iPhone

Your timeline lives in a database on your iPhone. Path doesn't sync it to any cloud service.

Photos, with your permission

Path reads only the date and location of the photos you allow, to place them on your timeline. Your photos are never uploaded.

Export or delete anytime

Export everything as a SQLite file, move it to another iPhone, or delete it for good.

A day you can read and edit.

Stays, moves, and gaps appear in order. Rename a place, adjust a time, or change the transport mode.

Places, not coordinates Each stay shows where you were, when you arrived, and how long you stayed. Walking around inside a building doesn't count as a move.

From walks to flights Walking, driving, trains, ferries, and flights are recognized on your iPhone. If one is wrong, fix it with a tap.

Your years, added up.

Steps, distance, and places are summarized by week, month, and year, and every number is calculated on your iPhone.

From one day to many years: Switch between day, week, month, and year to see how your routine changes.
Trips, footprints, and milestones: Path finds your trips away from home and shows them on a globe. It counts the continents, countries and regions, and cities you've visited and awards medals for new places, distance on foot, and recording streaks.
Works with Apple Health: Connect Apple Health to see resting heart rate and sleep next to your movement. Path only reads this data and never writes to it.
