Looking for an alternative to tiles.

I realize lowjacking your stuff is kind of against the idea of privacy in the first place, but the convenience of being able to find lost items is big.

Are there any other locators that can use cellular service or just use BLE?

You can at least self host this option. Still a lot of the same privacy issues any type of tracking software is going to have.
