μlogger

μlogger is an open-source Android application for continuously recording location coordinates during outdoor activities. It is intended for hiking, cycling, and similar uses where a record of movement is useful. The app saves track points at intervals selected by the user. It can use GPS or network-based location data to obtain positions.

The application is designed to remain small and simple, with low memory and battery impact. It can synchronize recorded locations with a compatible μlogger web server in real time. If synchronization encounters problems, it keeps retrying rather than abandoning the transfer. Users can also run it offline, export positions to a file, and upload them to the server manually.

Tracking settings are configurable, and recorded data can be exported in GPX or KML format. Users may add waypoints with images and comments, although synchronizing those additions requires server version 1.0 or newer. Automation is supported for workflows that need tracking to operate with less manual interaction. The client and μlogger web server together provide a self-owned and controlled client-server arrangement.

As an Android title in the Navigation & Travel category, μlogger fits phones used for route recording and location-aware outdoor activities. Its privacy-focused design does not use Google Play services and is intended to send data to a server controlled by the user. MirrorNest mirrors the official build directly on its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing.
