I am an information hoarder and liked the Foursquare swarm app for checking into restaurants and other interesting places when I travel, because I love seeing the pins on the map of the places I have been and remembering places later. I have scripts running to download my check-ins and store them in a self hosted map.

But I obviously don’t need to keep giving them my location data. Are there any self hosted alternatives with that kind of international database of places?

    Every single (opensource) automated location tracker I’ve tried drained battery to the point where it is borderline useful.

    Your best bet is to use something like Immich like others mentioned but it lacks specific business data like Google Timeline has, which I don’t think it’s possible with anything else.
