I’m looking to put a tracker on my mountain bike. I use GrapheneOS.

What are your recommendations?

I’ve heard Life360 (which owns Tile now) is a privacy nightmare.

AirTags are unmanageable without an iPhone.

Never heard of Chipolo until recently.

Is there anything for GrapheneOS that would work well?

(Also: Does GrapheneOS have a Find My software equivalent?)

Pretty much every method is going to use a central database which is out of your control and is, necessarily, a privacy vulnerability.

The best option would be a cellular implementation but those are going to be necessarily large and require regular charging. But such a device would be very obvious to any would-be thief.

The only privacy vulnerability there would be the same one you get with any cellular device; location tracking via IMEI.
