Do I have to press a button when I start exercising?
No. Dayline has no start button and no stop button. Recording starts when you begin to move and ends when you stay in one place. Just carry your phone as you always do.
Does it record with the app closed?
Yes. You don't need to open the app. For that, location access has to be set to "Always" ("Allow all the time" on Android), so the path can be drawn even while the app is closed.
How does it tell walking, running, cycling, and driving apart?
Dayline works out how you are travelling and shows it in the colour of the line. The motion (physical activity) permission is optional; when allowed, it is used to tell walking, running, cycling, and driving apart.
Will it drain my battery?
Location is used only while you are moving. While you stay in one place, Dayline waits, so it is built to be left on all day.
Is my movement record sent to a server?
Not unless you post it yourself. There is no account and no sign-in, and your movement record is stored on your device. When you post a day to Everyone's lines, only that day's line shape, distance, duration, date, and caption go to the server; the map, coordinates, and times of day are not sent. Your record is never used for ads or statistics.
What is Everyone's lines?
It is where people show one another the line of a day. Choose a nickname, pick a day you want to post, and its line shape, distance, and duration are posted. The map and coordinates that would show where you went are not. You can delete a post at any time.
Where do I see past days?
The History tab shows a month at a glance, with a small line for every day you moved. Open any day to see its path and timeline. Switch the calendar to paths to see every path of the month on one card.
Are there goals or badges?
No. There are no goals, no badges, and no streaks. Dayline may show how today compares with yesterday or with your week, but there is nothing to hit; it keeps the day as it was.
Is it free?
Yes. Dayline is free and shows one ad below the tab bar. Anonymous usage statistics, such as which screens and settings are used, can be turned off in Settings.
