Your Google Maps Timeline Alternative for Life & Travel Tracking
Replay and Google Maps Timeline are two apps that track your location history. The difference is who owns that data.
Replay and Google Timeline both log your location history automatically. The difference is who holds it. Google Timeline stores your data on their servers, linked to your Google account. Replay keeps everything on your iPhone — private, offline, no account needed.
