thanks for the tip. my battery is definitely getting crushed so i might need to mirror that local logging for ios. But yes, the usefulness of it all will be the big question.

I tracked a work log in a "did" list for work and that was useful because you often need regular reporting (standups, perf reviews).

No one needs any location updates on how often I've been to the gym.

Exactly. In my case, I noticed that having an extra device also helped me to not obsess about tracking. I started taking it with me only when I knew that I would be going an interesting route or on a trip to a place I haven’t been before.

Seeing a map with many different paths is way more fun than seeing the same paths just thicker. Interestingly, this also made me take more detours and explore my city and surrounding areas more even if it was a „boring“ route.
