What is SeekDroid?

SeekDroid is an open source Android app developed to help users locate lost or stolen Android devices. It utilizes the device's GPS sensor and network location data to track its geographical coordinates in real-time. The app allows users to view the device's location on a map and offers various security features to protect data in case of theft.

Once installed on an Android device, SeekDroid can be accessed through a web dashboard on a desktop or laptop computer. If the device is reported lost or stolen, the user can log into their SeekDroid account online to track its location. The app will retrieve GPS coordinates if available, or determine approximate location based on WiFi networks and cell tower triangulation.

In addition to location tracking, SeekDroid provides options to remotely lock the device with a password, wipe data from it, or sound a loud alarm to help locate it. These features allow users to protect sensitive information if the device falls into the wrong hands. The app aims to give users more control and peace of mind in case their smartphone or tablet gets lost or stolen.

As an open source program, SeekDroid's codebase is transparent and open to contributions from developers. Its availability as a free download aims to make these useful security and tracking features accessible to any Android user concerned about device theft and loss.
