I know it’s unlikely to exist, but I’d be really grateful if it’s out there. My partners use Life360 for the location tracking, just so they know the other is okay. I’d like to join in on this too, but no way am I installing a closed source GPS if I can help it. They’re pretty knowledgeable about the risks of doing so, and are open to using an alternative service. Heck, I was the guy who got one of them in on Linux after ditching his Chromebook. lmao

For the record, they have all the data collection settings disabled, but how much is that worth, really? You’d have to trust the company’s word and even still, closed source GPS shit. Ew.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I know this might not be an option for you, but I have used Home Assistant for this purpose. Simply install a HA instance and enroll both of your handsets with the companion app.

    The challenge with apps like this is, that they need some kind of server by definition.

    Let me know what you find.
