Quick Start
Minimal setup to start tracking:
- Install the app (Google Play, IzzyOnDroid, or APK)
- Grant location permissions - select Precise location and Allow all the time
- Grant notification permission - required for the foreground service that keeps GPS tracking alive
- Disable battery optimization for Colota in Android settings (otherwise background tracking won't work reliably)
- Press Start Tracking
- View live coordinates on the dashboard
The app works completely offline. Server setup is optional.
