I’m looking to put a tracker on my mountain bike. I use GrapheneOS.

What are your recommendations?

I’ve heard Life360 (which owns Tile now) is a privacy nightmare.

AirTags are unmanageable without an iPhone.

Never heard of Chipolo until recently.

Is there anything for GrapheneOS that would work well?

(Also: Does GrapheneOS have a Find My software equivalent?)

    If you can hide an old small android phone with a a SIM card in your bike, you can use FindMyDevice (FMD) available in f-droid.

    If not you can use some pet tracking device, like FindMyCat. It’s a small opensource device in a collar where you need to plug in a SIM card.

    But if you want a device which uses low power Bluetooth / mesh connection and which doesn’t require SIM card nor GPS. Then I don’t know any alternative which is not a privacy nightmare.

      Someone else also suggested a pet tracker. It seems like this is the way to go for a hardware tracker.

      But find my cat isn’t available yet (according to website), so are there any others you know of/recommend?
