What is Colota?
Self-hosted GPS tracking app for Android.
Colota sends your location to your own server over HTTP(S). It works offline, supports geofencing, and doesn't share any data except with your backend.
Features:
- Self-Hosted - Send location data to your own server. Works with Dawarich, 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.
- Location History - View daily summaries, trip segmentation, calendar with activity dots, and per-trip export.
- Reliable Tracking - Foreground service, auto-start on boot, 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.
