    The app tracks locally and uploads data to your server based on settings you configured. Mine tries to upload every 100 points in a batch, but my server is behind Tailscale VPN, so sometimes the data just waits till I enable VPN to be uploaded. Other users user Cloudflare tunnels, some of them are just exposing Dawarich to the internet.

    Probably will update the docs to make it clear :)

    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.

    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

    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 :)

    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
