About How Long - Location Tracker
How Long answers one question: how much time do you actually spend at the places that matter? Save your gym, office, coffee shop, or a friend's house, and How Long quietly notices when you arrive and leave. No check-ins, no timers. FOR FAMILIES, WITHOUT THE TRACKING Know when your kid gets to school, when Grandma is home again, when your partner has left the office. Share just the places that matter with the people who matter, and they'll see arrivals and departures there and nothing else. No live map, no history of everywhere someone went. One Pro purchase covers your whole family through Family Sharing. BUILT TO BE TRUSTED • Detects arrivals and departures with geofencing, Wi-Fi, and Apple's visit monitoring, then double-checks before recording anything • Always watches the places closest to you and keeps that up to date as you move • Battery friendly: no constant GPS polling SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES • Total hours, visit counts, average session, and streaks for every place • Charts by day, week, month, or year, switchable between places and categories • A heatmap of which hours and days you tend to be there • Year in Review and Trip Recap cards you can share GOALS AND REMINDERS • Weekly goals: specific days or a number of visits per week, with streaks • Reminders when you've been somewhere longer than you meant to • Nudges when it's been too long since your last visit ORGANIZE • Categories for anything: Home Town, Paris 2024, Clients • Notes, ratings, and photos on every place • Smart suggestions for places you visit often but haven't saved • Share places or whole categories with a link FRIENDS (optional) • Share a place with a friend and see when they arrive and leave • A widget showing where a friend is right now • Everything goes through your own iCloud account; we never see it WIDGETS • Streak and weekly progress widgets for any place • Friend status widget HOW LONG PRO (one-time purchase, Family Sharing included) • Unlimited places (3 are free) • Travel Mode: automatically saves restaurants, trails, and sights you spend time at on a trip, with a photo you took there • Hiking detection for places you wander through without stopping • Place photos, and browse your photo library by place • Smart cadence reminders • iCloud backup and CSV export • Automations: send arrivals and departures to Zapier, IFTTT, or Home Assistant PRIVACY Your places and visits are stored on your device.

What’s new
Version 1.7.2 · Updated September 6, 2026
• Detection health: How Long now tells you when an iPhone setting is stopping arrivals from being noticed, with a one-tap fix. • Weekly summary: at the end of each week, a notification sums up your places and goals. Tap it to open the 7-day charts. • Now in Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Portuguese and Simplified Chinese. • Visit timer on the Lock Screen: while you're at a place, a Live Activity counts up from arrival, in the Dynamic Island too. Open How Long during a visit to start it, or run the Show Visit Timer shortcut from an arrival automation. • Ask Siri: "How long have I been here in How Long", or "How long at the gym this week in How Long". • A What's New screen after each update, and in Settings. • Settings now has Contact Support, Rate How Long, and Privacy Policy links. • Fixed: sharing a Trip Recap or Year in Review card opened an empty share sheet, and the card was clipped. • How Long may ask for a rating after a few weeks of use. It asks at most once per version.
