This Opensource app is there to help the user find the mobile phone if he loses it... If the phone is lost, the user can send a message to the lost phone from this app installed on a different phone. The phone which was lost will then show the user where it is at that time. Not only that it will start an alarm sound to alert the nearby and continuously send messages to the user so that he can track if the device is moving or not. If after listening to the alert sound someone picks up the lost phone he will see the alternate number of the owner of the phone on the screen. Moreover, if the user is traveling, sometimes the phone may accidentally get dropped and thus lost. If the phone gets dropped it will alert the user with a siren sound. Thus this app will be very handy to those people who regularly travel by public transport or bike.

The way this app works is as follows:

- Start the App
- Enter your alternate phone number
- Start the service
- The service will start working in the background
- If the phone is lost, send a message from another phone where this app is installed
- The lost phone will start the alarm sound and send SMS containing the location of it
