Traccar Client is a GPS tracking app for Android. It runs in the background and sends location updates to your own server using the open-source Traccar platform. • Real-time Tracking: See your device's location on your private server in real time. • Open-Source: 100% free and open-source, with no ads or tracking. • Customizable: Configure update intervals, accuracy, and data usage to fit your needs. • Privacy First: Your location data is sent only to your chosen server, never to third parties. • Easy Integration: Works with the Traccar server and many third-party GPS tracking platforms. Just enter your server address, grant location permissions, and the app automatically sends periodic location reports in the background. Don't have a server yet?
