Personal Cloudless Location Tracking App? (Hero's Path) (beehaw.org)

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any apps that track your location over time and map it so that you can see where you were at a given time? Preferably one that doesn't upload any of this information to a/the cloud?

I'm a forgetful person and often wonder "what was I don't last Tuessday?" or "When did I get home?" or "How long was I at X?". Sometimes I also just want to contribute to things like OpenStreetMaps for less mapped areas (though I know this requires very frequent pings).

I used to use this feature using Google Location History but stopped because I decided I didn't want to give them any more of my data than necessary.

If anyone plays Legend of Zelda BOTW or TOTK, I'm thinking of it as a sort of personal "Hero's Path Mode".
