It works offline, supports geofencing, and has no analytics or telemetry.\n\n[Documentation](https://colota.app/docs/introduction) | [Privacy Policy](https://colota.app/privacy-policy)\n\n## Features\n\n- **Self-Hosted** - Send location data to your own server. Works with Dawarich, GeoPulse, Home Assistant, OwnTracks, PhoneTrack, Reitti, Traccar or any custom backend.\n- **Privacy First** - No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs. Open source (AGPL-3.0).\n- **Works Offline** - Fully functional without a server. Export as CSV, GeoJSON, GPX or KML.\n- **Offline Maps** - Download map areas to your device for use without an internet connection.\n- **Scheduled Export** - Automatic daily, weekly or monthly exports to a local directory with file retention management.\n- **Encrypted Backup** - Single password-encrypted archive of all data (locations, settings, geofences, credentials) for migration or offsite storage.\n- **Location History** - View daily summaries, trip segmentation, calendar with activity dots and per-trip export.\n- **Reliable Tracking** - Foreground service, auto-start on boot and exponential backoff retry.\n- **Geofencing** - Pause zones that automatically stop recording locations.\n- **Tracking Profiles** - Automatically adjust GPS interval, distance filter and sync settings based on conditions like charging, car mode or speed.\n- **Flexible Sync** - Instant, batch or offline modes. Restrict sync to Wi-Fi, a specific SSID or VPN.\n- **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.\n- **Quick Setup** - Configure devices via `colota://setup` deep links or QR codes.\n- **Authentication** - Basic Auth, Bearer Token or custom headers. Optional mutual TLS (mTLS) with a PKCS12 client certificate stored in Android Keystore.\n- **Dark Mode** - Full light and dark theme support.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/mobile/original/Dashboard.png\" alt=\"Dashboard\" width=\"200\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/mobile/original/LocationHistory.png\" alt=\"Location History (Map)\" width=\"200\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/mobile/original/TripDetails.png\" alt=\"Trip Details\" width=\"200\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/mobile/original/Trips.png\" alt=\"Trips\" width=\"200\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003c/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003eDashboard\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003eLocation History (Map)\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003eTrip Details\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003eTrips\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/mobile/original/Settings.png\" alt=\"Settings\" width=\"200\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/mobile/original/TrackingProfiles.png\" alt=\"TrackingProfiles\" width=\"200\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/mobile/original/Authentication.png\" alt=\"Authentication\" width=\"200\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/mobile/original/DarkMode.png\" alt=\"Dark Mode\" width=\"200\"/\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003c/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003eSettings\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003eTrackingProfiles\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003eAuthentication\u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003eDark Mode\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\n## Quick Start\n\n1.
