We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let’s change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:
- Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
- No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
- Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Let’s create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!
Didn’t realize it was that powerful. I have been meaning to set this up as a viable alternative to the proprietary Find My device apps, because I’ve been concerned that not having an equivalent will be a disadvantage…
Check out zood location, as I said in another comment, also open source location tracker. Only on android though.
That seems to be for just sharing location, though. That isn’t as useful for me because I rarely have my location on, and I don’t share it with others. I’m looking more for something that allows remote control/locking of a device in case it is lost or stolen.
Sorry, I misunderstood you. If that is your use case then definitely try it out. I find myself losing my phone, grabbing a trusted contacts phone and texting myself fmd ring. It does have a webpage where you can lock, erase or take photos with the phone as well as location tracking.
Ah got it, thanks for explaining. I will give it a shot.
