Future Update Roadmap
Future Update Roadmap for TimeTrack Pro – Planned Features 2026–2028
TimeTrack Pro is designed to stay simple, private, offline, and completely free of subscriptions or cloud dependencies forever. All development focuses on adding powerful, on-device features that turn your existing location history exports into deeper personal insights — without ever compromising privacy, battery life, or control. This roadmap outlines planned updates through 2028, prioritized by user feedback (email [email protected] to vote or suggest). Every feature will remain 100% local processing, optional encryption, no network calls, no analytics, and no new permissions beyond storage. Updates will be delivered as free APK downloads (manual install) — no auto-update server to avoid privacy risks. Timeline is approximate and subject to testing/real-world feedback.
1. Core Philosophy – What Will Never Change
- 100% offline & private — no servers, no cloud, no telemetry
- No subscriptions, ads, or in-app purchases — one-time Pi payment forever
- No live location access — only imported export files
- Optional AES-256 encryption — user-controlled, no backdoor
- Minimal permissions — storage only during import
- Manual APK updates — you choose when to install
- Open to feedback — all features driven by user emails
