Path turns your iPhone into a private timeline of the places you visit, the routes you take, your steps, and the photos attached to those days. It records passively, processes everything locally on device, and requires no account or central server. I built it after years of relying on Moves and Arc Timeline apps, then losing trust when the product I paid for stopped working. Path is for people who want memory, context, and ownership of their location history.
Hey Product Hunt,
I’m Rory, the maker of Path.
I started building Path because I missed the feeling of Moves: a passive diary in your pocket that helped you remember where life actually happened.
For years I used Arc Timeline and really wanted it to survive. I sponsored it, subscribed for two years, and eventually bought lifetime. But after crashes, missed recordings, and finally a complete recording failure that I could not recover from, I decided to build the timeline app I wanted to trust long term.
Path is my take on that idea:
- 100% local processing and storage
- No account, no central server
- Passive recording with very low battery impact
- Places, routes, steps, photos, and daily timelines
- Fast backup and restore
- Free core use, with Pro only unlocking deeper history, long-range stats, and export
My goal is simple: help people keep a private, useful memory of their own life without handing that data to a server.
I’d especially love feedback from people who used Moves, Arc, location history tools, travel maps, or quantified-self apps.
A few things I’m curious about:
- Is the value clear from the product page?
- What would make you trust a passive location app?
- What would make Path worth paying for?
Thanks for taking a look. I’ll be here all day replying to feedback.
