Nice to have this in an app.
You can also reproduce this with apps like Macrodroid or Tasker too.
Thanks! I've been using it for the last 2 days and it's just what I needed!
Check out Prey Project
- Requires Google Play Store to install the app. They refer to Play Store from their release page on GitHub.
- No client on F-Droid nor IzzyOnDroid.
- Based in USA.
- You can't install the server on your own server.
- The server's source code appears to be closed.
I wouldn't use it or trust it 🙂
And if that doesn't work, you just start to pray /j
~~I'm so sorry~~.
There used to be an app called aegis that did something like this, it used texts to your phone to trigger stuff. It was made by one of the CyanogenMod devs, I'm not sure if it's still around... EDIT: the github is here, but it hasn't been touched in a while lol
