I lost a bunch of keys today. It sucks and it’s gonna cost me a lot of money to replace the locks. I want to to add an airtag-like device to my key ring in the future. However I don’t know of any device that works in a similar fashion, either through bluetooth or GPS, that works with Graphene and doesn’t require some kind of privacy invading online subscription.

Do you have any advice on privacy respecting alternatives to airtags?

    I’ve answered this question for someone else in the context of tracking luggage. Your use case is also one that the branded apple airtags are best at.

    If you want a big headache project that doesn’t work then try anything but airtags.

    Theres an android find my app and you can run it in a container in graphene.

    If you want a quick, simple, functional solution to your problem then bite the bullet and use airtags.

    You, uh, also maybe shouldn’t be asking for “privacy respecting” electronic tracking devices. The application is fundamentally not private and cannot respect privacy by design.
