# OwnTracks
OwnTracks allows you to keep track of your own location.
You can build your private location diary or share it with your family and friends.
OwnTracks is open-source and uses open protocols for communication so you can be sure your data stays secure and private.
It can either publish your location using [MQTT](../../internet/MQTT.md) or over [HTTP](../../internet/HTTP.md) with something like [dawarich](../web/dawarich.md).
