🌍 OwnTracks for OpenClaw

Give your AI agent GPS awareness. It knows where you are — without you telling it.

What This Does

Your phone runs OwnTracks (free, open-source). It sends GPS coordinates to a tiny server on your machine. Your AI agent reads the data and understands where you are.

Your agent can now:

• 🏠 Know when you're home, at work, or somewhere new
• 🌙 Notice you're still at the office at midnight and nudge you to go home
• ✈️ Detect you're at the airport and check your flight
• 📍 Build a map of your life over time

Quick Start

1. Start the server

AUTH_USER=me AUTH_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 24) node scripts/server.mjs

2. Expose it (if your machine isn't publicly reachable)

ngrok http 8073

3. Set up OwnTracks on your phone

• Install OwnTracks (iOS) or OwnTracks (Android)
• Settings → Connection → Mode: HTTP
• URL: your ngrok/tunnel URL
• Authentication: username + password from step 1

4. Query your location

node scripts/query.mjs
# 📍 37.7749, -122.4194 | acc: 8m | batt: 75% | conn: wifi
#    📌 At Home

Named Places

Create places.json to give coordinates meaning:

{
  "places": [
    { "name": "home", "label": "Home", "lat": 37.7749, "lon": -122.4194, "radius": 200 },
    { "name": "office", "label": "Office", "lat": 37.7899, "lon": -122.3893, "radius": 300 }
  ]
}

Now your agent sees "At Home" instead of raw numbers.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Zero npm dependencies
• OwnTracks app (free)
• A tunnel if behind NAT (ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel, etc.)

For OpenClaw Users

Install as a skill and your agent automatically knows how to use it:

openclaw skill install github:fridayyi/openclaw-owntracks

Privacy

• All data stays on your machine
• Password-protected endpoint
• No cloud, no third parties
• You own your location data
