Introduction
REITrack is a private GPS tracking app for Android. It records your location to a local database, works offline, supports geofencing, and has no analytics or telemetry. Points stay on the device unless you enable REITrack Cloud sync.
Key Features
- Private by default - History stays in a database on the phone. Nothing is uploaded unless you turn Cloud sync on, and then only to REITrack Cloud — the destination is not configurable, so location data cannot be redirected to a third party.
- Privacy First - No analytics, no telemetry, no advertising SDKs.
- Works Offline - Fully functional without a server. Export as CSV, GeoJSON, GPX, or KML.
- Offline Maps - Download map areas to your device for use without an internet connection.
- Scheduled Export - Automatic daily, weekly or monthly exports to a local directory with file retention management.
- Encrypted Backup - Single password-encrypted archive of locations, settings, geofences and credentials.
- Location History - View daily summaries, trip segmentation, calendar with activity dots, per-trip export and notes on individual points.
- Reliable Tracking - Foreground service, auto-start on boot and exponential backoff retry.
- Geofencing - Pause zones that stop recording locations. Optionally stop GPS entirely when on WiFi or when the device is motionless.
- Tracking Profiles - Automatically adjust GPS interval, distance filter and sync settings based on conditions like charging, Android Auto, speed or stationary detection.
- Flexible Sync - Instant, batch, Wi-Fi only or offline modes.
- Display Settings - Choose between metric and imperial units, 12h or 24h time format. Auto-detected from device locale on first use.
- Quick Setup - Configure devices via
rootcastle://setupdeep links or QR codes. - Authentication - Basic Auth, Bearer Token or custom headers
- Dark Mode - Full light and dark theme support.
