Features of colota:
• Self-Hosted - Send location data to your own server. Works with Dawarich, GeoPulse, OwnTracks, PhoneTrack, Reitti, Traccar, Home Assistant or any custom backend.
• Privacy First - No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs. Open source (AGPL-3.0).
• Works Offline - Fully functional without a server. Export as CSV, GeoJSON, GPX or KML.
• Offline Maps - Download map areas to your 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 - View daily summaries, trip segmentation, calendar with activity dots and per-trip export.
• 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.
• Display Settings - Choose between metric and imperial units, 12h or 24h time format. Auto-detected from device locale on first use.
• App Shortcuts - Long-press the app icon to start or stop tracking directly from the home screen, compatible with automation apps like Tasker and Samsung Routines.
• Quick Setup - Configure devices via colota://setup deep links or QR codes.
• Authentication - Basic Auth, Bearer Token or custom headers with AES-256-GCM encryption.
