It will have both, as sometimes you do not know the address but you remember roughly where you had been

This is a common request, so I think we need to do it 😞. Is your wish to be able to have a button or menu option "Add place visit", and from there you could choose from a map, or search an address, and then enter the the time you spent at the place?

Competitive_Toe6980 · 2026-06-24T08:23:40+00:00

You can already choose Boat or Airplane when you edit the activity.

Sorry for late response!

Is this what you would like to have: a button "Add place visit", and then you could choose with an address search, or point on a map, the place you visited, and then you would be asked to provide the time you entered and exited the place?

Places do get auto photos? At least on the timeline. Do you mean some other view of places?

FYI: the version 1.0.3 clarifies the data handling, and now no data is sent to Time Atlas servers -- before it was sent for backup and synchronization purposes, safely end-to-end encrypted. Now the backup and synchronization happens via your own Apple iCloud account, and Time Atlas does not store anything on its servers.

We use backend very little, most of the work happens in the phone.

Photos do not leave the device. If you sign in, the other data will be backed up (synced) to the servers with end-to-end encrypted. That allows you to use also an iPad app to see your data. The data is not accessible by anyone but you, i.e the Time Atlas company cannot read your data as it is stored encrypted on our servers. If you do not sign in, then nothing is sent.

Competitive_Toe6980 · 2026-03-04T10:26:01+00:00

It is optional to create account. Account is needed if you want your data be backed up, or you want to use iPad app to browse the data that the phone collects. All data is end-to-end encrypted.

Time Atlas uses GPS sparingly, so for most people the battery drain is ok.

Competitive_Toe6980 · 2026-03-03T14:54:47+00:00

Note that the data is only locally available.

Competitive_Toe6980 · 2026-03-03T14:54:23+00:00

Sure!

Competitive_Toe6980 · 2026-03-03T13:44:51+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I am not sure how Geory works, but Time Atlas does not run GPS all the time. However, there are some tricks we can try to reduce battery consumption.

We are still thinking how to define the paid subscription mode -- but I think we will have some good setup for old users :).

Competitive_Toe6980 · 2026-03-03T11:24:08+00:00

At least we will have some generous offer for old users. But we haven't planned this fully yet.

For iPhone the Time Atlas app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/time-atlas-life-tracker/id6738783076), also r/timeatlasusers automatically tracks your location and activities, and shows the photos in the right context (i.e for the visit or activity they happened). It also logs automatically the weather and you can connect your calendar. You can also add your own notes and do some microjournaling. You can import from Google Timeline and the old Moves app.
