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 (de.nulide.findmydevice).
