Hello selfhosted community,

I need a privacy respecting alternative for an Apple AirTag. I recently bought my first expensive bike and i would like to know where it is, as it will be used by multiple people.

I know gps service costs something and I am willing to pay for it but I do not want any location data ending up somewhere it shouldn’t.

Thank you.

    I suppose I worded that poorly. I meant that the firmware and protocol are open while the Android/iOS apps are not. My intent was to clarify what was open/closed, not obfuscate.

    Directly from MeshCore’s docs:

    5.7. Q: Is MeshCore open source?

    A: Most of the firmware is freely available. Everything is open source except the T-Deck firmware and Liam’s native mobile apps.

    Like I said, I’d prefer to see those closed bits also being developed openly and as a community, and there’s nothing to stop anyone from that endeavor. I also get that the mobile app dev has put in a lot of work on both the closed and open source pieces of the project, and he’s gotta eat.
