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!

Daniel

    Thanks :) As a German I really like the name Dawarich. First it sound really nice for me but also that “Da war ich” means “There have i been” in german makes, at least for me, an awesome project name.

    Take this with a grain of salt because I have no idea what the plans are for Dawarich or have ever been and this is solely based on my external view. For me the main differences are:

    • visits and trips are our main data, everything else is just the way to calculate them. For Dawarich it looks to me, that it is the other way around. It displays all the location data in good way with the heatmap and so on but visits or places seems so tacked on. This should not be an offense against it. I actually still have an instance running and it was the main pushing point to finally start working on Reitti.
    • the sleek UI but this depends on your taste

    In the end, they are not that far off. Maybe a matter of taste.

      Maybe slightly off-topic, but how did you end up with the name “reitti”? You say you’re German - do you have some sort of tie to the Finnish language?

        Oh, i had the idea in mind what i want to create and than it was a matter of a couple of Google queries but in the end one of the LLM suggested a list of different names in foreign languages and reitti somehow sticked 😊

      Thanks for the reply! I will give it a go :)

      The word dawarich does not produce a polite sound in my main language, meant no offense to the project :)
