Ask HN: Personal History from Account Data?

3 pointsby DoingSomeThingsover 1 year ago
I&#x27;m working on a personal project to log what I did each day of the past year.<p>I&#x27;m looking for a tool to pick a random date and see &quot;you traveled here, talked to these people, and took these pictures&#x2F;screenshots.&quot; A combination of Google Maps Location History, Photos&#x2F;screenshots by date, and messages sent.<p>Google Location history is a great start, however iMessage seemingly has no way to search by date. Any thoughts on how to approach this task?

If you have a Mac that syncs your iMessage data, you can search through your messages with any SQLite library. I don’t remember the exact path off the top of my head but it’s probably something like ~&#x2F;Library&#x2F;iMessage
