Why?

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, but wanted to change it a little. I did fork it, but eventually decided to create my own project.

Beware of malwares

GitHub's releases page is the only place where I am uploading apks.
