PRIVACY
100% Private: Only YOU can see your data. We will never collect or share any information about you. We respect and care about the privacy of our users!
REQUIREMENTS
For the best and most accurate monitoring results, Wi-Fi, carrier and location services should always be enabled for Geofency. iBeacon monitoring requires at least Bluetooth 4.
BATTERY USE
Continued use of GPS in the background can significantly reduce battery life. Geofency was designed to use GPS very sparingly and never in the background. The app relies mostly on cell tower + Wi-Fi locations. This has been carefully chosen to get the best battery life.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Using this app for years and it's so reliable. I'm using it for many thing other then work locations logging. It has so much to offer, I wish hours tracking apps would have. Or maybe the developer will develop one...

Best of the best
Yoovee
Using the app for the past 8 years I must say it’s the best of it’s kind. Reliable and easy to operate. Has pro features I can rely on and it’s accurate!I wish time tracking apps would adopt half of the functionality that this app offers.Update (4/2026): Still the best app in this category!
Version 10.9
NEW
• Siri knows your places: ask about your last visit, time spent or clock-in status by place name or role, such as Home or Work. New, renamed and deleted places update automatically. With Apple Intelligence, Siri understands "this place" and "this visit" in the open view.
• New "Visits" action: Siri and Shortcuts list visits by place, tag or role for the last visit, today, this week, month or year. "Find Visits" filters by place, time or notes. Open places from Spotlight, Siri and Shortcuts.
• Manual clock-in and clock-out teach Siri your routine so it can suggest these actions at the right place and time.
• Tags now sync through iCloud, including colors, symbols, order and assignments to places.
• "Requirements" checks location permissions, Precise Location, Wi-Fi, mobile network, notifications and Background App Refresh, with guidance on Low Power Mode and direct access to the settings that need attention. Bluetooth guidance appears when you use iBeacon places.
• Search in Settings opens the matching screen or highlights the setting. The new offline FAQ offers 40 answers in all 20 app languages, from tracking and backups to merging places and integration troubleshooting. Search understands synonyms, multiple words and typos.
• Feedback includes an editable email preview and optional diagnostics without location history or private connection details. Ask for help directly from a FAQ answer; on Mac, the Help menu opens the FAQ and feedback.
• Diary adds a "Last 14 Days" filter. New Danish, Finnish and Norwegian localizations.
IMPROVEMENTS
• Faster first iCloud sync. Redesigned settings show sync status, last sync, item counts and upload progress. Clear notices explain account, storage and connection problems. Uploads resume automatically when iCloud is busy; "Sync Now" lets you retry. Switching iCloud accounts turns sync off with a notice.
• HomeKit shows whether each entering or leaving automation is active, being set up or needs attention, with a reason and a retry option. Scene tests show progress and identify scenes and accessories that did not respond, with a link to the Home app.
• Place-action menus show provider names and app icons, with improved app, App Clip and website handling.
• Clearer time sheets and a compact export summary. "Text (TSV)" explains compatibility with Excel and Numbers; export is disabled when the selection contains no events.
• Improved welcome screens, a new app icon, refined iPhone and iPad layouts, and optimizations for iPhone Duo.
• Reorganized Settings with "Privacy & Security" and "Places", plus a redesigned tip jar with a thank-you after each tip.
• Updated translations, including Siri prompts and answers in Japanese, Turkish and Brazilian Portuguese.
FIXES
• Fixed Siri clock-out and status requests without a place name, and clock-in/out actions performing the opposite action.
• Fixed empty coordinates in synced places, older iCloud data overwriting restored backups, and deleted records returning after the device clock was set back.
• Fixed stalled iCloud uploads and repeated tag migrations. Unreachable iCloud now reports an error and keeps sync off instead of being treated as empty.
• Fixed stale place lists and sidebar counts after widget or iCloud changes.
• Fixed duplicate counting of overlapping places with the same role in Balance and excessive time for ongoing visits in "Time Spent".
• Fixed HomeKit crashes, duplicate automations and automations not following place changes.
• Fixed file imports from Files, Mail and AirDrop. Importing into the Manual category now creates manual places.
• Webhooks require a valid URL; disabled entering or leaving requests no longer produce failure notifications.
• Improved backup error handling and stability during background processing, contact matching and map transitions.
