Hi other privacy people :)
I am currently looking for a fitness tracker that at least doesn’t need a proprietary app to get the data out of it. Haven’t really found any recent articles that look into that aspect of fitness trackers, any advice?
I know about the bangle.js but wanted to know if there is more. Also, if you have this device and use it to track your running, I would be happy to read your review!
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Solution for me was to adjust the settings of opentracks. Before it recorded only every 10 metres. Additionally I ordered a chest strap for my heart rate. Brand is Polar, they seem to be good about not needing their own app to get your data.
Look into Gadgetbridge, as that allows the bypass of proprietary apps for some trackers
Good to know thanks!
+1 for Gadgetbridge. It is amazing
Another +1 for GadgetBridge. Looking at their supported devices may also be of interest even if you don’t us GadgetBridge itself.
