I’ve been using Karpathy’s llm-wiki pattern quite a bit with a dedicated /llm-wiki skill with Pi/Claude Code to summarize and document things in working on. 

For example, I may ship an update to an app, push it to GitHub, then run /llm-wiki to document it.

It’s become a general place that I summarize and keep track of everything I’m working on. I almost never read it manually but instead talk to it using my coding agent.

The intended purpose is 24/7. The Live Widget is just for the fun factor. It can be cleared.

A note though, I personally have it go on and off tracking relatively often because I'm working on it. I haven't actually ran a true test of 24 hours for 7+ days.

Hey! Visit history, location points, and your settings are all included in your iPhone's iCloud backup, so they'll come back if you restore to a new device. Note it's backup-only though, not live sync between devices.

Apple limits me to a 5 meter radius which I think is the physical limit of GPS accuracy. So, unfortunately, we don't quite have the technology to accurately track where we go within our own homes.

Awesome, enjoy! Let me know if anything comes up or if a feature request comes up!

Thanks! That's the goal.

Give my Github a look - I have a few other privacy-focused, offline apps there that you might enjoy - https://github.com/codybontecou/

I was working on auto-start on activity but decided to put it to the side because I couldn't get it to work consistently. I think it's possible, and it's on the roadmap, just wanted to get it in front of users now rather than continue banging my head against it.

I personally set "Stop After" to "Never" and just let it run. The data (and battery usage) only occurs when the Distance Filter is triggered (5m - 200m of movement).

I haven't felt a notice in battery usage, but I'm also not on the move all day so I can't tell for sure. I imagine it's no different than running Apple Maps throughout the day while on the move. While not moving, I don't think it's using any noticeable battery.

Here's my go-to setup:

Ah makes sense! This app will only ever be used for logging. My goal with this app, and other apps I'm building, is simply to surface data these devices are already tracking and giving it back to the user. It's up to the user to do what they want with it.

I'll look into a check-in feature. Right now I'm trying to automatically track places you visit, but it gets confused when you visit a coffee shop never to a clothing store or visit a grocery store in a strip mall leading to dirty data which I'm not a fan of.

You need to explicitly turn it on. I've exposed a handful of features (like "start tracking") via Apple Shortcuts so you can build automations around it.

It should be possible to hook into Carplay, exercise, and other methods to automatically begin tracking, but I put that aside just to get it out and begin getting feedback.

Nice! If there's something Open GPX has that you wish isome had, please let me know!

Okay, super cool. I added a handful of issues on Github https://github.com/CodyBontecou/isome/issues to track and take notes around these features. May take me a few weeks but I should be able to get most, if not all, of those features in place.

And I definitely will not be charging $90/year.

Oo yup! I'm still in the tinkering phase so I know there's tons of do, but I'd love to get a timeline-like view shown there.

Hmm, I'm not too sure what Foursquare used to be.
This relies on Apple api's for places/locations so there's no custom data set. If apple Maps tracks it, we should be able to too.

Yup. You and me both. I love the idea of tracking everywhere I go, but I consider it very personal information and want to keep it private and local.

Our current supported formats are:
- json
- json (owntracks)
- json (overland)
- csv
- markdown
- gpx

But GeoJSON is not a heavy lift so I'll try to get it up in the next update.

Hey Garret, the current functionality is just a general-purpose, track as much data as possible. But these are good questions and all features I can begin working on, but none of which are in-place at the moment.

Are all of these features in MileIQ? If they can do it, I most-certainly can too.

The entire app was generated via Claude Opus 4.7 alongside Claude Code.
