Description
OwnDay is a location diary for iPhone that fills in your day for you. It quietly logs the places you visit, names them, guesses the activity, and charts where your time goes by day, week, month and year. Add Apple Watch sleep and workouts, correct anything in a tap, and OwnDay learns your places so it asks less over time. Your archive stays on your iPhone, and you can ask Siri how long you spent somewhere.

Could you build this?
Partial While an iOS app recording GPS visits and HealthKit data is feasible, building reliable battery-efficient background location tracking, geofence clustering, and continuous activity inference on-device is technically demanding.
What it would actually take: The app relies on iOS CoreLocation (Significant Change / Visits API) combined with CoreMotion and HealthKit integration, carefully tuned to avoid rapid battery drain. The backend or local storage would use CoreData/SQLite with clustering algorithms (e.g., DBSCAN) and reverse geocoding to categorize dwell time into activities. A real version requires deep expertise in iOS background processing constraints, power management, and spatial clustering.
