About PhoneTrack

PhoneTrack is a Nextcloud application that tracks and stores mobile device locations. It receives location data from mobile phone logging apps and displays it dynamically on a map. Administrators or users create tracking sessions, hand out the logging URL to devices, and then watch positions in real time on the main page or through public share pages.

Within a session, users can display location history, filter points, manually edit, add or delete points, edit devices, define geofencing zones and proximity alerts, and share the session with other Nextcloud users or via read-only public links with optional restrictions. Sessions can be imported and exported in GPX format, and statistics are available. Auto export and auto purge can be toggled daily, weekly or monthly, and behavior when a point-number quota is reached can be set to block logging or delete the oldest point. The app is under development and requires a Nextcloud instance; the repository does not state pricing.
