Questions and answers

What can you do with FMD?

With FMD, you can send commands to your phone to locate it via GPS, locate it via nearby cell towers, take a picture, lock it, let it ring, or factory-reset it.

How can commands be sent to your device?

Commands can be sent over multiple transport channels: over SMS, over third-party messaging apps like Signal or Matrix that post a notification to the Android notification tray, or over the FMD Server, a self-hostable server providing a web interface to control your device.

What is the FMD community?

There is a Matrix space for discussions at https://matrix.to/#/#fmd:matrix.org where you can join the Community room for general discussions and the Announcement room to get project news.
