▲ 50 ▼ Tile/AirTag/Chipolo tracker recommendations for GrapheneOS? (lemmy.world) submitted 1 year ago by rageagainstmachines@lemmy.world to c/privacy@lemmy.ml 28 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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?)

The BLE beacon tag batteries can last a year. I suppose one could install a dynamo and hook it up to that (would be more noticeable to thieves though). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago I haven't gone through all the modes, but apparently there is a tracker mode that from what I understand doesn't really broadcast unless it receives a specific signal from a known device. So theoretically it might last a bit longer, but yeah, I definitely see your point. permalink fedilink source parent
