Take Back Your Map

• Tired of big tech breathing down your neck?

• Meet Colota, the open-source GPS tracker that keeps your location data strictly on your terms.

• Instead of feeding a corporate data silo, Colota whispers your coordinates directly to your own private server.

• No analytics, no telemetry, and absolutely no snooping.

Total Sovereignty

• Self-Hosted: Seamlessly syncs with Traccar, Home Assistant, OwnTracks, and nearly any custom JSON-based backend.

• Offline Resilience: Connectivity issues? No problem. Your data queues locally and syncs the moment you find a signal.

Smarter Tracking

• Adaptive Profiles: Set it and forget it. Colota shifts tracking behaviors automatically based on speed, charging status, or even Android Auto connectivity.

• Pro-Grade Maps: Navigate offline or online with smooth MapLibre rendering, complete with elevation charts and speed-coded pathing.

• Intelligent Geofencing: Create custom zones that pause tracking when you’re home or office-bound, saving both your battery and your privacy.

Built for the Power User

• Flexible Syncing: Choose between real-time updates, periodic batch syncing, or full offline mode.

• Ironclad Security: Keep your server connection locked down with AES-256-GCM encryption, Bearer Tokens, or Basic Auth.

Effortless Management

• Quick Setup: Configure new devices in seconds using QR codes or simple deep links.

• Deep Customization: Tweak everything from distance filters and accuracy thresholds to unit systems and data-cleanup schedules.

FAQ

Q: Is Colota compatible with the existing software I already use for home automation?

A: Absolutely. Colota is built to fit right into your existing ecosystem. It offers seamless integration with popular platforms like Traccar, Home Assistant, and OwnTracks. Since it supports custom JSON-based backends, it is highly flexible and should work with almost any self-hosted tracking infrastructure you have already established.

Q: Do I need Google Play Services installed for this app to function?

A: Not at all. Colota is built specifically for users who want to move away from centralized tech dependencies. The FOSS version of the app runs entirely on Android’s native LocationManager, meaning you can enjoy full functionality without needing Google Play Services installed on your device.

Q: What happens to my location data if I lose my internet connection?

A: You do not need to worry about data loss during dead zones. Colota features offline resilience, which means it will intelligently queue your location data locally on your device while you are offline. As soon as you regain a stable connection, the app automatically synchronizes all the stored data with your server so your history remains complete.
