I miss the manually export gpx function in v3 a lot, because I need review back specified period in the past, but now automatic weekly export makes it very hard: it’s very difficult to count which time in a “2015-W23” file, what days are W23?
If there has a monthly export, I can easily distinguish by month names. We discussed very long time ago that automaticly export monthly gpx makes app very difficult to operate, so how about bring back manually export monthly/anniversary gpx funtion?
Anyway, I appreciate your patience to listen user’s idea!
Hi @hutudaxian — you’re right that this is missing, and for what it’s worth this is your third time asking for period exports (April, May, and now), so the persistence is registering: your voice is logged on the ticket (BIG-619).
The plan there works the way the old app did: an export action for whatever timeline period you’re currently viewing — a month view exports that month, a year exports that year, alongside single days. Month-named files for your Ovital review workflow, no more counting weeks.
And agreed on the “2015-W23” filenames — week numbers are hard for humans. That friction is noted on the ticket too.
@diversario Per-day GPX files do exist in Arc Timeline 4 — they come from the automatic exports rather than a button on the timeline. Settings → Backup & Restore → Automatic Exports, turn on the daily GPX export. The files land in iCloud Drive → Arc Timeline → Exports → Daily → GPX, one file per day named by date (2026-09-20.gpx), split on UTC days. Exports run in the background when the phone is on power, with a few hours between runs. Run Exports Now on the same screen kicks it off straight away — the first run writes your whole history, oldest day first, so with a long timeline it takes a while and needs the app left open on screen; after that it’s just the new days each time. For geotagging in Lightroom that’s the file you’d point it at.
A share-this-day export from the timeline itself is on the list (BIG-619).
