Hey everyone!
I'm excited to introduce Reitti, a location tracking and analysis application designed to help you gain insights about your movement patterns and significant places—all while keeping your data private on your own server.
Core Capabilities:
- Visit Tracking: Automatically recognizes and categorizes the places where you spend time, using customizable detection algorithms
- Trip Analysis: Analyzes your movements between locations to understand how you travel whether by walking, cycling, or driving
- Interactive Timeline: Visualizes all your past activities on an interactive timeline with map and list views that show visit duration, transport method, and distance traveled
Photo Integration:
- Connect your self-hosted Immich photo server to seamlessly display photos taken at specific locations right within Reitti's timeline. The interactive photo viewer lets you browse galleries for each place.
Data Import Options:
- Multiple Formats Supported: Reitti can import existing location data from GPX, GeoJSON, and Google Takeout (JSON) backups
- (Near) Real-time Updates: Automatically receive location info via mobile apps like OwnTracks, GPSLogger or our REST API
Customization:
- Multi-geocoding Services: Configurable options to convert coordinates to human-readable addresses using providers like Nominatim
- User Profiles: Customize individual display names, password management, and API token security under your own control
Self-hosting:
- Reitti is designed to be deployed on your own infrastructure using Docker containers. We provide configuration templates to set up linked services like PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and Redis that keep all your location data private.
Reitti is still early in development but has already developed extensive capabilities. I'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions to tailor Reitti to meet the community's needs.
Hope this sparks some interest!

Well, the last update seems to have cleared the queue, and all of my history from that 10 year import now shows, with trips and places identified!
But now, it's having issues with importing the new google format import. I've got a 34MB file there that goes back to 2017, and this data says that it has imported, but then never appears in my history.
If it's relevant, there is overlap in the data, as my 10 year takeout import went up to 2023, and my "new format" import starts in 2017 and went a couple of days ago. I changed my google account in 2017, but logged in to both on my phone simultaneously, so I was accruing location data on both accounts at the same time for a while before I turned it off on my old account.
I am glad it worked out for you in importing the first file. I am still puzzled why it took that long.
For the new format, did you have Android or iOS? With the timeline export from Google Maps on iOS, we can not do anything at the moment because there is actually no raw data in it. Only information like you stayed in this timeframe at that point and you traveled between these points. It's actually a little bit funny that it aggregates to the same data Reitti uses in the end.
If you are on Android, it could also be a bug when importing that file. I only had a small one from one of my accounts to test. If you mind creating a bug report, I will have a look. If you do not want to attach the export file there, feel free to send it to daniel@dedicatedcode.com. I will have a look at it then privately. No problem.
For the overlap in exports, it depends. If the points are the same, meaning they have the same timestamp, then Reitti will discard them. If not, they will be handled like every other new data and will end in recalculating visits and trips around that particular time.
I'm on android. I'll raise a bug report.
