Profile

I got fed up with Google Timeline's awful location tracking and control, so I built my own.Replay's a native app built entirely on Swift. It runs in the background, automatically saves your visits and routes, detects activity type (walk/cycle/drive/transit), and stores everything locally on your device.No account. No subscription. No server ever touches your data. One-time purchase.A few technical decisions I made that are worth calling out: - All processing happens on-device using CoreLocation and CoreMotion - No backend, which means no breach surface for your location data - Battery impact is minimal — same approach as iOS's own significant-location-change API, with minimal active location

Replay – A private, on-device Google Timeline replacement for iOS is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
