From the README
Turn your Timeline file into an animated travel video on your Android phone. Choose exact dates, preview the Journey, and create an MP4 ready to watch or share.
Open the iPhone web app in Safari. There is no app to install and no Timeline file is uploaded.
MP4 creation requires Safari 16.4 or newer with H.264 encoding support. Keep the tab open while the video is being created. To keep the web app on the Home Screen, use Safari's Share menu and choose Add to Home Screen.
The app is not yet on Google Play. Install it from this repository's latest release:
Only download the APK from this repository. Android may display a warning because the app is installed outside Google Play. That warning is expected for a directly distributed APK. Future releases can be installed over this release.
Requires Android 8.0 or newer.
