  2. Is open source and very privacy friendly as everything is processed on your phone..EVERYTHING!
  3. Very lightweight and Simple as fck

How Does It Work ❔❔


After Installing you need to set a codeword ,
this is like a password for finding your phone
after setting this code word , just close the app.

Whenever you lose your device ,
just send an SMS message to your phone/number with the codeword. You'll get

  • Coordinates
  • Google maps link
  • Nearby WiFi Names

How does it Actually Work 🤔 ??


1.FetchDroid uses normal GPS , the signals emitted from satellites.

2. A-GPS (Assisted GPS) which is basically:

  • Nearby Cell towers
  • Nearby Wi-Fi networks
  • Bluetooth beacons (indoors)
  • Sensor fusion (accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.)

to generate your latitude and longitude coordinates with minimum 16 meters of accuracy , all without connecting to WiFi or Data
