Dawarich is a self-hosted location history manager and travel journaling platform. It functions as a personal travel archive that collects GPS coordinates and movement data, providing a private alternative to proprietary tracking services. The system utilizes a PostgreSQL geospatial database to store coordinates, visits, and custom geofence boundaries.
The project distinguishes itself as a geospatial data converter and visualization tool, capable of transforming location history between formats such as GPX, KML, and GeoJSON. It allows users to organize GPS tracks and geotagged photos into named trips and interactive timelines, while offering tools to visualize route polylines, activity heatmaps, and global exploration maps.
Broad capabilities include real-time and historical location tracking with transport mode detection, as well as quantitative travel statistics such as tax residency calculations and movement analysis. The system also supports photo geodata integration by extracting GPS metadata from image libraries to correlate visual memories with specific locations.
The software supports self-hosting on private infrastructure with compatibility for both AMD64 and ARM64 server architectures.
