Show HN: Hansel – Private, low power location tracking

Hi everyone, I’m a developer who wanted to solve a gap I’ve noticed with Apple Maps. While Google Maps has the Timeline feature to track places you’ve been, Apple Maps doesn’t offer anything like it. That inspired me to create Hansel!

With Hansel, you can track your location history in the background with low power usage. It logs the places you spend time at—like restaurants, parks, or cafes—and lets you add labels to those visits. There’s also a timeline slider, so you can easily review how your movements have changed throughout the day.

Your privacy is super important to me, so all your data is stored securely in your iCloud account. No one else (not even me) can access it.

If you’ve ever wished for a personal, private, and simple way to track your location history, I’d love for you to try Hansel.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback—I’m always looking to improve!
