Hey everyone, I’m looking for a driving journal app, to track when, to/from where and which distance I drive.
Ideally I’d like for it to be FOSS, but if there are decent Closed Source apps I’m ok with it too (I’d just block Network Access in Graphene OS then).
This post (not mine) has pretty much my ideal criteria, but sadly didn’t get any answers: https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/88349/drivers-logbook-app-for-android-foss
Unlike the above post, I don’t want this for tax purposes etc., but rather just to understand where all my distance driven comes from.
Use an automation app like Automate, Macrodroid, Tasker.
I have a few scripts that respond to geolocatiins, but it wouldn’t be hard to add some other features.
Currently these scripts save output to a text file (CSV) that is synced to my file server using Syncthing.
You could use various triggering mechanisms, such as BT connect in the car, or an NFC tag, disconnecting, from wifi (that’s a good indicator you’re traveling), etc.
There’s also a location tracking app you can self host, let me find a link.
