There is already Google Find My Device, but I wanted to develop a free and open source alternative (even tho it is suggested to keep Google's, unless you do not have Play Services and/or wanting to go full-in about privacy). There is already a good FOSS alternative, [Find My Device](https://gitlab.com/Nulide/findmydevice) (from which I took inspiration from), but wanted to change it a little.
