I’ve been trying to take gym stuff more seriously lately and sometimes something like a fitbit seems like a great idea, are there any that don’t just harvest you for minimal utility on your end?

Sorry if this has be answered before but I think searching is still weird

    For some types of tracker, you can use a free and open source application called gadgetbridge.

    I use it with my Amazfit Bip, and it works just fine. Since it’s FOSS, it’s something that can be audited for backdoors

      It’s a great app, and the amazfit watches have really good battery life. Some will even let you answer your calls, which I find makes me stress about my phone a lot less.
