Read full description

claw GPS Tracker is a privacy-first location tracking companion for OpenClaw, the open-source AI assistant. Your phone sends encrypted GPS coordinates to your own computer through a zero-storage relay server. OpenClaw can then query your location and movement history β€” all without any third party ever seeing where you are. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Your phone acquires GPS coordinates at a configurable interval β€’ Coordinates are end-to-end encrypted using X25519 key exchange and AES-256-GCM β€’ Encrypted data is forwarded through a relay server that stores nothing β€’ Only your computer (running gps-bridge) can decrypt and store the data β€’ OpenClaw queries your location locally β€” no cloud, no external API FEATURES β€’ End-to-end encryption with forward secrecy (new key per message) β€’ Background GPS tracking with configurable update intervals β€’ History recording with adjustable granularity and retention period β€’ Multiple sharing modes: Auto, Ask (coming soon), and Deny β€’ Official relay server included β€” no setup required β€’ Self-hosting supported for full control β€’ Open source: phone app, relay server, and bridge are all publicly auditable PRIVACY BY DESIGN β€’ The relay server is zero-storage β€” it only forwards encrypted blobs β€’ Your private key never leaves your computer β€’ GPS data is stored only on your own machine β€’ No account required, no telemetry, no ads β€’ You control exactly when and how often your location is shared SETUP 1. Install gps-bridge on your computer (pip install gps-bridge) 2. Tell OpenClaw: "I want to set up GPS tracking" 3. OpenClaw generates a pairing token and public key 4. Enter them in this app's Settings page 5. Tap Start Tracking β€” done! REQUIREMENTS β€’ A computer running gps-bridge (Linux, macOS, or Windows) β€’ OpenClaw with the gps-location skill installed Learn more: https://github.com/luna61ouo/gps-tracker-app https://github.com/luna61ouo/gps-bridge
