An iOS/iPadOS app that automatically tracks your geographical extremes — furthest north, south, east, west, highest altitude, and furthest from home. Available on the App Store.
- Automatic Record Tracking — Runs in the background using significant location changes (~500m), detecting new geographical records with zero interaction required
- Six Record Types — Furthest North, South, East, West, Up (highest altitude), and Furthest from Home
- Three Timeframes — Monthly, Yearly, and All-Time records tracked independently
- Region Tracking — Tracks visited US states, countries, and continents with interactive maps
- Statistics & Charts — Visualize your geographical history with Swift Charts
- Photo Integration — Attach photos to records from your camera or library; scan your photo library to import historical records from geotagged photos
- iCloud Sync — Records sync across devices via CloudKit
- Backup & Restore — Export/import
.georecordsbackup files - Home Screen Widgets — Record and region widgets with map snapshots and photo thumbnails
- Configurable Notifications — Get notified when you break records, with per-timeframe controls
- Metric & Imperial — Toggle between unit systems for altitude and distance display
- iOS/iPadOS 18.2+
- Location Services (Always authorization for background tracking)
The app follows an MVVM pattern with singleton managers:
- LocationManager — Background location tracking via
startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges() - RecordManager — In-memory record state with Core Data persistence
- RecordHistoryManager — Core Data operations and record history
- RegionTrackingManager — State/country/continent visit tracking
- SettingsManager — UserDefaults-backed preferences
Built entirely with Apple frameworks — SwiftUI, Core Data, CoreLocation, MapKit, Photos, Charts, WidgetKit, and CloudKit. No third-party dependencies.
