FindMyCat is the ultimate pet tracking solution. With a battery that can last upto 6 months, works indoors and outdoors, no monthly subscription fees and a fully open-source solution, it just might be the only pet tracker you'll ever need.
👋 Makers. I'm excited to launch FindMyCat - The Open Source Pet tracker.
Most existing pet tracking options I came across were like asking for a gourmet meal and getting a frozen half-cooked microwaved burrito – all for the price of a five-star restaurant.
After being disappointed by them and seeing a lack of a comprehensive open source solution, I embarked on the journey to create one.
✨ Why choose FindMyCat ✨
- Months long battery life — Goodbye charging hassles
Combination of ultra low power hardware and creatively optimized software means you can leave 'Charging' to Smartphones - FindMyCat Tracker Laughs at 5-day Limits. Get up-to 6 months of battery life with a single charge.
- Real GPS for Outdoors
Equipped with a real GPS chip and a SIM-card connection for LTE so you can track anywhere whether it’s in your neighborhood or around Pyramids of Egypt. As long as there is cellular connection, FindMyCat technology will take care of the rest!
- Precise Find
Comes with Ultra-wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth technology that let’s you find precise distance and direction to your pet. So the next time your fur baby decides it's time for a game of hide-and-seek, you're always one step ahead.
- Smart Tether
For exceptional battery life and a very reliable geo-fence, we have the Smart Tether. When your pet is at home, a tether is created between the FindMyCat Tracker Device and the FindMyCat HomeStation (think of it as a virtual leash). When your pet leaves the home radius, the outdoor tracking peripherals are enabled, providing seamless transitions between indoors/outdoor location visibility and a very reliable geo fencing.
- Flexible tracking modes
There are three modes giving the user full control over location visibility vs battery consumption. Ping mode, Active mode and Lost mode. Read about them here.
And did I mention, it's completely open-sourced 😉

Interesting to see such a product here. My congrats on the launch. It also looks very stylish. What is the monetization? As far as I understood, 1-2 $ monthly payments, but any payment for the gadget?
@anna_kasumova Hi Anna! Thank you!
The product is not yet commercial, I would have to figure out the logistics to that. But I was giving an estimate monthly cost to run it if one built it from the open source software and hardware available under github :)
Did I answer your question, please let me know if you have any other.

The quality of the project and its documentation is just amazing. I studied electronics but always spent my time in software, and this inspired me to combine all! Lovely work, and thanks for making this open-source!
