Summary

Fixed phantom location jump on zone exit by backdating the anchor point timestamp.

Full changelog

Bug Fixes

  • Stale speed profile - Fixed speed profiles staying stuck when stationary because the distance filter was discarding location updates before they reached the profile logic.
  • Geofence map position - Fixed map not updating position while inside a geofence pause zone
  • Anchor point ordering - Fixed phantom location jump on zone exit by backdating the anchor point timestamp to sort before the first real GPS fix.

Improvements

  • Activity Log - New screen in Settings for viewing, filtering and exporting app logs. Includes level filtering, search, auto-scroll with following indicator and share/export.
  • Always-on logging - Native and JS logs are now always collected in a ring buffer (2000 entries) without requiring debug mode
  • Log privacy - Stripped coordinates from debug logs to protect user privacy when sharing logs
  • Notification permission - Clarified that notification permission is required for the foreground service to start, including after reboot

Documentation

  • Notification permission - Added notification permission requirement to quick start, troubleshooting, permissions guide and disclosure modal
  • GPS settings - Removed obsolete "Pause GPS when stationary" toggle (now handled via tracking profiles and geofences)
  • Geofencing - Updated anchor point documentation with timestamp behavior
  • API reference - Corrected anchor point description and added timestamp details
  • Troubleshooting - Added "Tracking doesn't start after reboot" section and Samsung-specific battery setting
