FMD edge vs WhereAreTheEyes
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
FMD edge
FMD edge is the "cutting edge" version of FMD. FMD edge receives updates faster, more often, and slightly earlier than FMD. FMD edge releases are generally stable and ready for day-to-day use. FMD allows you to locate and remotely control your Android device. This is useful if you have lost or misplaced it. FMD is decentralised, and users remain in full control of their data. For more details about FMD, see the project website (https://fmd-foss.org/docs/overview) or the F-Droid listing for the main FMD app (https://f-droid.org/packages/de.nulide.findmydevice/).
WhereAreTheEyes
Where are the Eyes is a tool for detecting and evading surveillance. Together, you and other users build a map of surveillance cameras to protect activists, students, and other at-risk minorities. When run, the map will display red pins on cameras near your location. To mark a new camera, or verify that a marked camera exists, just stand near it and press the "eye" button. The app has telemetry on by default. Press "Mapbox" button on the main screen to disable it.
