Case
Trace
LiveSovereign location sharing with your loved ones — privacy-first and fully in-house.
What & why
See on a map where your loved ones are — with places, arrival and departure notifications and reverse geocoding, as a web PWA and a real Android app. It runs fully in-house (self-hosted on Traccar): the permissions decide who may see whom, and there is no tech giant in between.
Sharing your location with loved ones should not mean handing it to a tech giant. We wanted it sovereign and privacy-first: self-hosted, with control over who sees what, and just as good on the phone as in the browser. Important enough to make the code public — open source as Baken.
Approach
- A lightweight viewer built on Leaflet 1.9.4 with OpenStreetMap tiles.
- Reverse geocoding, saved places and arrival/departure notifications added.
- PWA with version polling, so a new version announces itself on its own.
- A real Android .apk (Capacitor) that loads the live site in a WebView.
