Show HN: Breadcrumbs iOS App – keep track where you have been (GPS, background) (apps.apple.com)
2 points by finalfrontier 1110 days ago
A simple iOS application to see where you have been with your phone and how far you have traveled each day.

The location information is collected in the background without draining the battery.

It is a free app! With the optional subscription you can use advanced features such as sharing the location with other iOS devices or changing the location collection frequency and accuracy.

Feel free to share what you think about it, including ideas for improvements!

If you like the app, I will very much APPRECIATE your support in a form of rating and/or review. Thank you!

Thanks for commenting! I agree these have some overlap.

The biggest difference that I can see is that with Breadcrumbs the location data is yours only. It is not being sent anywhere. If you share it with other devices, the location data is always end-to-end encrypted.

Breadcrumbs is also not tracking anything else than location - so it can focus on that area more - adding specific features such as changing the location collection accuracy/frequency.
