What is it?

Reitti is a self-hosted application for recording and analyzing your personal location history. It detects the places where you spend time and the trips between them, shows them on a daily timeline alongside a live map, and includes transport-mode detection for walking, cycling, and driving.

Data can come from real-time sources such as OwnTracks, GPSLogger, Overland, and Home Assistant, or from file imports including GPX, GeoJSON, and Google Timeline exports. A workbench lets you move or delete misplaced GPS points and stitch data from multiple devices into one timeline. Photos from a self-hosted Immich server can be shown at the places they were taken.

Live location can be shared with other users on the same instance, with other Reitti instances through federation, or through revocable magic links. The stack runs on Docker with PostGIS and Redis, and supports OIDC single sign-on and multiple users with isolated data.

Things to know

  • Requires Docker and a PostGIS database, so self-hosting takes some setup.
  • Licensed under AGPL-3.0, a copyleft license that requires sharing modified source code when offered as a network service.
  • The next Docker tag is alpha and may break your data, so use stable tags in production.
