Real-time GPS Webhook Tracker
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
HookTrace is the ultimate bridge between your iPhone’s high-precision GPS and your private automation infrastructure.

Perfect for:
• Smart Home Automation (Home Assistant, OpenClaw, Jeedom)

• Custom Developer Projects & Dashboards
Key Features:
• FULL PRIVACY: No third-party servers. Data goes from your phone straight to your endpoint.
• BACKGROUND TRACKING: Runs reliably in the background, optimized for iOS 18+.
• FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE: Set custom Authorization headers and Device IDs.
• BATTERY OPTIMIZED: Choose between "Significant Change" mode for extreme battery saving or "Real-time" for high-precision tracking.
• LIVE MAP: See your current location and breadcrumb trail at a glance.
Technical Specs:
• Standard JSON Payload (Latitude, Longitude, Accuracy, Speed, Battery, Timestamp).
• Supports HTTPS and custom Auth-Headers.
• Distance-based filters to prevent unnecessary data spam.
Stop sharing your life with big tech. Start hooking your traces to your own home.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
We refreshed the map screen: compact controls for Follow, North up, and map appearance (standard, muted, hybrid, satellite). Start and Stop are clearer, with a consistent size — green outline when tracking is on, red when it’s off.
In Settings → Trail history, you can choose how long your path stays on the map (or turn it off). Trail segments use speed-based colors as a simple hint (walking, cycling, motorized).
Smaller polish and stability improvements around the map and controls.
