Tile/AirTag/Chipolo tracker recommendations for GrapheneOS? (lemmy.world)

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?)

I back FindMyDevice. Simple setup, just give it permission (The necessary stuff works is easy to give permission on GrapheneOS) And give phone numbers for it to allow. I personally don't have a second phone so I just put in my family's phone number. and as simple as them texting "FMD Ring" and my phone started ringing. Same with "FMD Locate" Which gave a general (But not perfect) location. Very good app, only wish there was a UI on the other phones end.
