Follow-Up: It's going great! I've stopped using my Tile tracker, I haven't lost my keys (yet), and I feel like I'm a LOT less trapped by my circumstances regarding them. Many thanks everyone! Many thanks indeed!

(See bottom for tl;dr.)

I'm the kind of person who loses their keys easily, so I love the idea of trackers: little devices that you can attach to your wallet, phone, or keyring that connect via bluetooth to an app on your phone to help you find it.

Problem is pretty much all the options I can find are run by companies with shitty privacy policies: Tile, Apple AirTag, Chipolo, and so forth.

• Tile collects shitloads of data and is partnered with Amazon to boot;
• Apple Airtags AFAIK only work with Apple devices, and besides it's Apple so no thank you; and
• Chipolo also collects shitloads of data and shares information with data brokers and data collection companies of all stripes. No thank you.

In any case, I really don't need a location network larger than maybe 200 meters (about 650 feet). If I lose my keys, odds are it's either in my car or in my house, and my house is like 100 square meters (about 1000 square feet). So Bluetooth is really all I need. I don't even need to see it on a map; I just need for it to ding or something.

I'm currently using Tile but I really want to get away from it. Worst case scenario, I'll stop using the Tile, but I really am a forgetful little shit. Lol.

tl;dr – Looking for recommendations for ideally short-range Bluetooth trackers for keys, with decent privacy. Max required range = 200 m (650 ft). Also, pie tastes great. Cheers.
