It supports both historical imports and live tracking so you can analyze movement patterns over time while keeping data under your control.

Key Features

  • Visit detection to identify places where you spend time
  • Trip analysis with transport mode detection (walking, cycling, driving)
  • Timeline view for daily visits and trips with distance and duration
  • Raw GPS track visualization of complete movement paths
  • Multi-user accounts with per-user data isolation and a combined multi-user map view
  • Live mode for automatically updating maps as new locations arrive
  • Import support for GPX, Google Takeout JSON, Google Timeline exports, and GeoJSON

Use Cases

  • Personal travel and mobility analysis (commutes, routines, frequently visited places)
  • Family location history and shared map view across multiple users
  • Importing and consolidating location history from multiple devices and formats

Limitations and Considerations

  • Requires multiple backend services (PostGIS, RabbitMQ, Redis) for full functionality
  • Some deployments on ARM64 may require a compatible PostGIS image choice

Reitti is well-suited for users who want detailed location analytics beyond simple tracking, with strong import options and live ingestion from common mobile tracking apps. Its combination of timeline visualization, visit/trip detection, and extensibility through APIs makes it a practical personal geospatial analysis platform.
