About

A small team building a trustworthy bike tracker.

We're engineers who ride. TechnikBrain started as a side project to answer a simple question — where's my bike, and is it safe? — without giving up control of our data.

  • Prototype in development
  • Based in Germany
  • Your data in your storage
Illustration: where it is built. A workbench with a laptop showing the dashboard, the tracker unit opened beside a small circuit board that feeds the laptop, a desk lamp, and the bike leaning in from the right with the tracker on its top tube. Through the window, the sun by day or the moon and stars at night.
Where we are today

Prototype in development.

TechnikBrain is not a finished product yet. We're building and field-testing the hardware and firmware, and running a small early-access pilot. We'd rather keep this page honest than promise dates we can't guarantee.

Working

  • Tracker hardware prototype
  • Cloud ingest into user-owned storage
  • Live and historical location
  • Movement and geofence alerts
  • A companion app in beta

In progress

  • On-device movement intelligence to save battery
  • Cellular connectivity
  • Hardening the security features end-to-end

Next

  • A broader pilot
  • Longer field testing
  • Measured battery and coverage figures we can stand behind
What we care about

Our principles.

Security by design

Device identity, encrypted transport, signed updates and ownership checks are built in from the start — not added later.

Your data, your storage

Ride data lands in cloud storage you control, so the value of your data stays with you.

Honest engineering

We'd rather ship a smaller, well-tested feature than over-promise. Battery and coverage claims wait for real measurements.

Plain words

What works, what's in progress and what's next is written on this page, and a status is never a colour alone.

The team

Who's building it.

Two engineers, between them the full stack — from the firmware on the tracker to a secure cloud.

Firmware & cloud

The tracker's firmware, the IoT architecture and the device flows into your own cloud storage.

Security & compliance

Device identity, encrypted transport, signed updates, and the checks that keep the platform reliable.

We keep names and faces off the website. If you want to talk to the people behind it, the contact form reaches both of us directly.
