Colota

Self-hosted GPS tracking for Android

Self-Hosted

Send location data to your own server over HTTPS. No cloud services, no third-party calls. Works with Dawarich, OwnTracks, Reitti, or any custom backend.

Privacy First

No analytics, no telemetry, no advertising IDs. All data stays on your device or your server. Open source under AGPL-3.0.

Works Offline

Works without a server. Store location history locally and export as CSV, GeoJSON, GPX, or KML.

Background Tracking

Foreground service, auto-start on boot, retry with exponential backoff, and battery-critical shutdown.

Geofencing

Create zones where tracking pauses automatically. Saves battery at home, work, or other regular stops.

Sync Modes

Instant, batch, or offline sync. Configurable intervals, exponential backoff, and auto-sync on reconnect.
