I lost a bunch of keys today. It sucks and it’s gonna cost me a lot of money to replace the locks. I want to to add an airtag-like device to my key ring in the future. However I don’t know of any device that works in a similar fashion, either through bluetooth or GPS, that works with Graphene and doesn’t require some kind of privacy invading online subscription.

Do you have any advice on privacy respecting alternatives to airtags?

    Not really. There are gps trackers that have a cell modem, used for tracking animals for research, but they are probably very expensive. Both to purchase and operate.

      Look into tractive a tracker for dogs, it’s quite affordable and made in Austria - which means it respects EU privacy regulations.

        Requires a cellular data plan to operate, which is where that expensive operating cost comes in. For a family dog, I could see the expense being worthwhile, but for a number of things (wallet, keys, purse, backpack, etc) that AirTag tracking typically targets as their use case, this would get quite expensive rather quickly.
