About this app

A week away leaves you with a few hundred photos, a couple of hours of camera footage, and a GPS track nobody is ever going to scroll through. How It Went turns those three things into a short film you can post.

A slideshow fails on exactly the day you most want to keep: the long solitary one where you were too tired to take pictures. The track is the only thing recorded densely enough to carry a day on its own, so here the route is the film and the photographs punctuate it.

WHAT IT READS

- Garmin FIT files, including the zipped "Export Original" archive
- Several activities merged into one multi-day tour, with rest days kept as rest days rather than dropped
- Photos, placed along the track by the time they were taken
- Video files, with several separate moments taken out of one recording - a four-minute action-camera file usually holds two or three worth keeping, not one

THE ROUTE IS THE SPINE

Your track draws itself across a tilted map, day by day, and the day's figures - distance, elevation gain, time on the move - read as narration underneath it. Drone and action-camera clips sit where they were shot.

WHEN THE CAMERA CLOCK WAS WRONG

An action camera that was never set to local time will drop a lunch stop in the wrong valley, and you cannot tell by looking at the photo. Correct the offset once and everything shot on that camera moves together. Anything still in the wrong place can be dragged to where it belongs, and that correction stays put while you keep editing.

The times you see are the times you rode at, not the times where you are sitting now. Edit the film after you have flown home and a photo taken at half past one still says half past one.

NOT A TRAINING APP

No leaderboards, no segments, no percentiles, nothing that ranks you against anybody else. The figures in the film are there to say what kind of day it was.

MADE ON THE PHONE

The film is assembled and encoded on the device, so there is no upload and no account. Your photos, your footage and your tracks stay where they are. Map data is fetched from an open tile service as your route needs it, which is the one part that uses the network.

WHAT COMES OUT

A 9:16 cut for Instagram and TikTok, or 16:9 for YouTube, written out as an ordinary video file you can share wherever you like.

Map data from OpenStreetMap contributors.
