Whereabouts — Community App Review
Version: 0.1.22
Whereabouts finds a Kompakt that has gone missing. It sends the phone’s location to a server you run, encrypted on the phone before it leaves, so the server keeps it without being able to read it. From the server’s web page you can see where the phone is, make it ring, or lock it. The same commands work by text message, with no server at all.
It is FindMyDevice, reshaped: it cannot take a photograph, and it wipes the phone only if its owner has switched that on, with a password of its own. Most of the code is Nulide’s, and the protocol and the encryption are theirs.
The server half is also shared. Whereabouts server is FMD Server with a map of the people who share their location with you, a partner’s Kompakt or a teen’s iPhone through the Overland app, and a plain black-and-white page you can keep as a desktop app.
On the Kompakt, a service called DuraSpeed closes installed apps soon after the screen goes dark. Texts still work, but regular uploads need Whereabouts switched on in its allow list, once. The setup guide has an Open DuraSpeed button that goes straight there, and the Setup warnings screen says if it has stopped.
