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?)

      Would have to be charged every day or few. 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).

        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.
