Works with Hubitat

Seamlessly works for presence detection in Hubitat and is no cost.

Fantastic app! Just what I was looking for!

If you are looking for a private, self-hosted real-time tracking solution for your family, look no further than OwnTracks!

Is iPhone to Android Possible?

I’ve downloaded the app and it appears to be fine; just a little “glitchy”. But I’m uncertain if it’s going to work across different system platforms. Some family members have Android phones, I have an iPhone. Is this going to function across those very different operating systems? EDIT: I’ve discovered that this app apparently must interact with an online server. That’s not doable in my scenario; I do not have, operate, maintain a server. Will be deleting app.

immediately sends my location to the web without consent!

This app immediately sends my location off the device to a web service without my consent. It uses a lookup service to convert location to street address, and display a map.

Not reliable

If i compare my location using this app and a similar app this app shows me drifting and waypoints not recognized. Documentation needs focus. Its a great effort and i want to support this project. Perhaps i didnt set up my backend correctly. i tried the containerized recorder and mosquitto made by this author of this app as well as mosquitto broker in the standard ubuntu repos. lots of quirks along the way but eventually got to see two phones on the map. I get badge notifications on the icon of my app but cant find any notifications in the app when i launch. So though maybe i am close to my goal and missing something i am tired of trying any further.

Works well enough

Documentation is severely lacking and it has a UI that only an engineer could love, but once you manage to get it working (with a fair amount of googling) it does what it's supposed to do.

Awesome!

Excellent app, easy to use, realtime tracking of devices! It is FREE and these guys are doing a great service by creating this beautiful app for all of us. Thank you, Christoph!

Not relisble

Tried both the GPS geo fencing feature as well as the beacon. Nothing works reliably. For example I hold my iPhone and set a geo fence center based on current location. I move around few minutes later come back to the same spot and it is not within the geo fence anymore. Struggled with this app for 2 months and giving up.
