Colota is an open-source GPS tracking app that sends your location to your own server over HTTP(S). It works offline, supports geofencing, and doesn't share any data except with your configured backends.
Features
The FOSS variant uses Android's native LocationManager and has no Google Play Services dependency.
Features
- Self-Hosted - Works with Dawarich, GeoPulse, Home Assistant, OwnTracks, Overland, PhoneTrack, Reitti, Traccar or any custom backend that accepts JSON over HTTP
- Privacy First - No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs. Licensed under AGPL-3.0
- Works Offline - Fully functional without a server. Locations are queued locally and synced when connectivity returns. Export as CSV, GeoJSON, GPX or KML
- Offline Maps - Download map areas to the device for use without an internet connection
- Scheduled Export - Automatic daily, weekly or monthly exports to a local directory with file retention management
- Location History - Daily summaries, trip segmentation, manual trip merge and split, per-point notes, calendar with activity dots and per-trip export
- Import Your History - Bring in existing tracks from GeoJSON, Google Timeline, GPX, KML or CSV
- Encrypted Backup - Password-protected archives of locations, settings and geofences
- Reliable Tracking - Foreground service, auto-start on boot and exponential backoff retry
- Geofencing - Pause zones that automatically stop recording locations
- Tracking Profiles - Automatically adjust GPS interval, distance filter and sync settings based on conditions like charging, car mode or speed
- Flexible Sync - Instant, batch or offline modes. Restrict sync to Wi-Fi, a specific SSID or VPN
