Turns Google Maps Timeline exports into animated travel map videos

What it is

An Android app and iPhone web app that reads a Google Maps Timeline.json export and renders your movements over a chosen date range as an animated map video saved as MP4. You can preview the route, pick camera behavior, duration, and square, portrait, or landscape formats, and keep finished videos in an in-app library. Travelers use it to make monthly or yearly recaps to watch or share, with location data processed on the device rather than uploaded.
