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!

    Personally I don’t mind initial registration, so long as they don’t continue to get data, so I’m not sure. There is some development for Garmin connectivity that I’m hoping comes to fruition.

    I did like the old amazfit bip and that could be used without registration using the Notify for Amazfit & Zepp app, from what I can remember. I never used it with Gadgetbridge though, and it didn’t last for very long before dying (cheap build quality). It isn’t much of a fitness tracker either.
