Colota is an open-source GPS tracking application 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.

WhatsNew:

- Added offline mode - disable sync and track sent status independently
- Added scheduled auto-export via background worker
- Added GPS pause when stationary to save battery
- Added configurable unit system (metric/imperial) and time format
- Pre-fill profile editor with current settings values and show defaults as hints
- Added map data attribution (OpenFreeMap, OpenStreetMap) to About screen
- Fixed ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException on Android 12+

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
