About this app

Timeline Exporter turns your Google Maps Timeline into open GPS formats — entirely on your phone.

Since late 2024, Google Maps Timeline is stored only on your device. There is no Takeout export and no website to download it from: your whole location history sits in a single Timeline.json file on your phone, with no easy way to use it elsewhere. Timeline Exporter is the tool that gets it out.

Pick your Timeline.json, preview the track on a map, filter by date, and export to GPX, KML, GeoJSON or CSV. Then open it in anything that reads GPS tracks: Strava, Garmin, Komoot, OsmAnd, Google Earth, QGIS, or your own scripts.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device. Your location history is never uploaded — no servers, no account, no analytics, no ads. The only network use is loading map tiles for the preview. Most other converters are websites that ask you to upload your entire location history to a stranger's server; this one never does.

EXPORT FORMATS
- GPX — for Strava, Garmin, Komoot, OsmAnd and most GPS apps
- KML — for Google Earth and mapping tools
- GeoJSON — for QGIS, web maps and developers
- CSV — for spreadsheets and data analysis

FEATURES
- Works fully offline (apart from optional map tiles)
- Supports every Google export format: the current on-device export, the iOS variant, older Semantic Location History, and Records.json
- Date-range filter with quick presets (last 7 / 30 / 90 days, all data)
- Live map preview of your filtered track
- Open files straight from the share sheet
- 18 languages with an in-app language picker
- Free, ad-free and open source

HOW TO GET YOUR TIMELINE DATA
On your phone: Settings → Location → Location services → Timeline → Export Timeline data. That saves a Timeline.json file. Open it in Timeline Exporter and export. The in-app Help walks you through it.

Free and open source. No tracking, no ads, no catch.

What’s new

• Large Timeline files now import reliably. The app streams your data instead of loading the whole file into memory, so even very large exports (100 MB and up) no longer fail with an out-of-memory error.
• Faster imports that use far less memory.
• More accurate progress bar, and the file size shown during import now matches what your file manager reports.
