I realize that google maps timeline feature is pretty antithetical to the way the average user here wants to do things, but I really like it as a way to easily go back and see where I went a particular day, or the last time I visited a particular place. It's also the most common way for me to notice a road that's missing from their map, because it can't figure out the route that I took.

Obviously, I'd really like to take more ownership of my data, but I have yet to find any OSM based apps that will just randomly get location in the background and write it down. Does anyone have suggestions?
