RingyDingyDingy

Remote ring and lock
A lightweight remote ringer/locker that can be triggered by SMS messages or
Google Voice text messages. Additionally, it has an external API that
third-party apps can use to add new commands or new activation methods. Finally,
it is privacy concious, never uploads any data, and uses the bare minimum
permissions required to do its job.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
