μlogger is an android application for continuous logging of location coordinates, designed to record hiking, biking tracks and other outdoor activities. Application works in background. Track points are saved automatically at chosen intervals or manually and may be uploaded to dedicated server in real time. This client works with μlogger web server. Together they make a complete self owned and controlled client–server solution.
Meant to be simple and small (μ). Low memory and battery impact. Focuses on privacy, doesn't use Google Play services, logs to self-owned server. Uses GPS or network based location data. Synchronizes location with web server in real time; in case of problems keeps retrying. If you're offline it'll queue updates until you're back online. Allows adding waypoints with attached images and comments (required μlogger server version 1.0+ for synchronization).
In the Google Play store.

ProofMode is an open-source project developed by Guardian Project, Okthanks and WITNESS.
We believe in a future, where every camera will have a “Proof Mode” that can be enabled and every viewer an ability to verify-then-trust what they are seeing. ProofMode is a system that enables authentication and verification of multimedia content, particularly captured on a smartphone, from point of capture at the source to viewing by a recipient. It utilizes enhanced sensor-driven metadata, hardware fingerprinting, cryptographic signing, and third-party notaries to enable a pseudonymous, decentralized approach to the need for chain-of-custody and “proof” by both activists and everyday people alike.

The FCC, some FAANGs, and others are motivated to see more innovation in the wireless space to try to see what new tech can come about. Unfortunately, the expertise is surrounded in jargon, domain and tribal knowledge, and can be very frustrating for someone who wants to take the shortcut route to running a mobile network. I aim to try to cut through a lot of the jargon and extra stuff that can get a person lost between the the excitement of operating a mobile network and manifesting it into physical reality.
I had a lot of exposure to testing early stage LTE/5G networks. My motivation is to try to demystify as much of the mobile network as I can for anyone with a strong networking but non-wireless focused background.

The app periodically scans your surroundings for potential tracking devices, like AirTags or other Find My devices.
The AirTags and other Find My devices are simple, small and perfect to track Android users! Without tracking warnings, as integrated on iOS, anyone could try to track your behavior by placing an AirTag in your jacket, backpack or car.
With the app you can play a sound on AirTags and find it easily. Afterward, you can view at which locations the device has tracked you. For this we use background location access. All location data never leaves your device
If you no one is trying to track you, the app will never bother you.

TinyCheck allows you to easily capture network communications from a smartphone or any device which can be associated to a Wi-Fi access point in order to quickly analyze them. This can be used to check if any suspect or malicious communication is outgoing from a smartphone, by using heuristics or specific Indicators of Compromise (IoCs). In order to make it working, you need a computer with a Debian-like operating system and two Wi-Fi interfaces. The best choice is to use a Raspberry Pi (2+) a Wi-Fi dongle and a small touch screen. This tiny configuration (for less than $50) allows you to tap any Wi-Fi device, anywhere.
