GPS Point Logger

Beginner Model

About this app

GPS Point Logger records where your phone has been. The record is a set of plain files. The heart of it is one points file for each day — time, latitude, longitude, accuracy, altitude, speed, and provider, in standard CSV. Alongside it, the logger keeps a short status report on itself, the place names you give, and your trip-type switches, each in its own file.

It has one screen, dark, with everything on its face: the start and stop control, your current coordinates, and the permissions it uses, listed as rows. Tap the coordinates to switch between decimal degrees and degrees, minutes, seconds. It records while it is on, including after you leave the app. It holds no background-location permission: after a reboot or an update it does not restart itself — a notification invites you to resume logging, and one tap continues the day.

STORAGE
The files live on your phone. Copies go to a folder you choose with Android's file picker — a folder on the phone itself, a folder in your Google Drive, or any other storage the picker offers. Change it anytime with the folder button. Copies of the day's file go throughout the day — every four hours, and again when the phone has sat still for ten minutes — and the finished day is copied in full at midnight. A Send button copies the file the moment you ask. Your storage app does the moving; a copy appears in the folder when that service finishes syncing.

The app has no internet permission and transmits nothing itself. There is no account to make with Beginner Model, and no server of ours receives anything. It contains no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking.

Name This Place saves your own name for where you are standing. Trip Type — Personal, Work, or Misc — labels a stretch of points; the day files themselves never change.

The record is yours to keep and use anywhere: the point files are standard CSV, ready to map a route from or feed a journal. GPS Point Logger is the companion logger for The AI Memory Cookbook (Beginner Model) — the day files it writes are the location stream that system reads. It also works on its own, as a plain, honest GPS logger.

What’s new

First release. GPS Point Logger records your location to standard CSV files on your device — one point file per day, plus status and place-name files — and can copy them to a folder you choose with Android's file picker. No account, no ads, no tracking.
