FMD

I lost my new phone.

And because I don't use Google Services I couldn't locate it and my phone was gone for good.

In the hope that this doesn't happen again, I developed this application, so that I can locate the phone via SMS.

Features:

- Locate the device (using GPS or cellular location)

- Lock the device

- Let the device ring

- Take pictures with the device's camera to see its surroundings

- Factory-reset the device

Usage:

You can control FMD (and thus your phone) either via SMS or via FMD Server.

You send a command to the phone (e.g. "fmd ring") and the phone executes it.

For SMS you can either define a list of trusted contacts (phone numbers) that are allowed to send commands.

Or you can set a PIN to allow anonymous usage.

Then non-trusted phone numbers can also send commands by including the PIN in the message.

This is useful because now if you lose your phone, you can ask a random person for help to wipe your phone remotely.

If you simply text "fmd" to your phone FMD will reply with a text listing the available commands.

With FMD Server you get a web interface to send commands, to view the location of your device on a map,

and to view pictures taken by the device.

You can self-host FMD Server.

This app is provided on a best effort basis.

We hope it is useful, we use it ourselves, but this is a hobby project

and we can't guarantee that it will work when you need it the most.
