Have you seen any similar products like the two on the article I linked too? Something that’s fully local and privacy respecting or preferably self-hosted.
The article is not mine (not sure why some people think so), but something that I linked to give people a sense of what devices I am looking for.
I can’t believe people in their community are downvoting an ask for help on here lol?
I’m just more concerned that the app actually sends data out to a 3rd party and uses it for marketing and targeted ads.
You are right though no subscription, but that means the company makes money on the metadata collected as well as the hardware sales.
I have been looking for something that’s more privacy oriented and self-hosted in that data is only stored locally on the home network or phone.
Is anyone in the community aware of any local, offline, or self-hosted alternatives to products like these?
I was reading the privacy agreements on both and both collect and sell data. Inito seems better but it still says it will use collected metadata to sell targeted personalized ads.
I have no netbird experience, but if it’s just like wireguard can you split tunnel instead of full tunnel to your friends network?
I think with a split tunnel you should still be able to access his network and resources?

To this day I still can’t get icon desktops to stay in their place. Each time I make a new folder it move all my icons.
To shreds, you say?
I wish there were some viable “fully cooked” alternatives. I won’t touch apple products with a 10 foot poll, and I owned the first and second iPhone.
As for Linux phone i have tinkered with it but its nowhere close to being a daily driver, yet.
Strangely sometimes I wish the Microsoft phone was not a total flop…
I guess the only thing left if a completely dumb phone, but that does not help if you use your phone more as a “pocket computer” then a phone at all.
I’m in the same boat as well, for some reason my music apps can’t seem to see my Google smart speakers, but strangely they can see my Nvidia shield and cast to that.
Looked through my app permissions I honestly can’t see anything out of the ordinary or plainly obvious. Both my speakers and android TV (shield) are on separate segment VLAN.
As for granting the permission, I generally like to grant on a app by app basis, lots of apps ask for internet access as a example but don’t actually require it to function. All my game apps for example are completely offline.
Hey can you let me know where I can find more info on this? I am running GrapheneOS as I was having this exact same issue as OP a few day back.
On my browsers I have network access, but nearby devices was disabled.
I checked my private dns settings and granted nearby devices access to my browsers, which allowed me to hit my local self-hosted services.
Just wondering if there is a better way to achieve the same.
Ran into this issue a few days ago, exactly the same way you described.
I am on GrapheneOS and figured it was something to do with a a setting where it’s blocking network access for my specific browser app. After reading your post I see it’s a android 17 feature.
Checked all the settings in my browsers related to DNS at first and was stumped for a bit, until I flipped on the nearby device setting and everything worked.
I also looked into the DNS settings under Network & Internet > Private DNS. Make sure your phone is using your local networks DNS server. Just make sure to understand the implications of changing this (especially when you disconnect from you’re home networks DNS). Also making sure your home DNS is not defaulting to your ISP DNS.

What brand of keyboard is that in the background, looks comfortable. Also interesting project.
HAProxy seems like it’s always overlooked. I have been using it for years myself, pretty solid and just works.
If you run pfSense you can also use HAProxy with a GUI.

Who’s getting banged?
No worries, not sure how I misunderstood the question, but hopefully it helps someone else out who’s getting into self-hosting.
When you host something on LAN only you are not exposing the service to the wider internet directly.
This means someone would need access to your LAN or local area network first (such as your WiFi password) before being able to reach said service.
Now when you expose something directly to the internet, in a way that for example it displays a publicly accessible webpage, it makes it easier for anyone to reach that webpage, and potentially figure out your login and password information through brute force. Or some other type of exploit that allows full bypass of the login credentials.
Some self-hoster’s choose to keep their “more sensitive” services on the LAN only, and then use a VPN (that’s hosted privately) to access their LAN remotely from anywhere in the world.
With a VPN hosted on your LAN it provides a good layer of security as someone would first need to have access to your VPN to then potentially try and get access into your services.
No need to click the link, I justed added it so people that are not aware of what Inito or Mira can get a sense.
Anyways what I am looking for is a complete local alternative to Inito or Mira. These are fertility monitors that track a few different items (the article gets into it a bit better then I can explain my self).
I have been searching online for different monitors but honestly it looks like nothing exists, at least in the North American market that comes close what these two monitors offer.
I was really hoping that the people here in this community would be willing to help out like I myself occasionally do. Obviously not everyone knows every product out there, but maybe there is one or two of us on here that might know of something or point me in a direction.
Like stated before my biggest concern is the two fertility monitors that I found here send their data to the cloud, and their policies say this information can be used for target ads. This is a huge red flag for me.
