Editor's Overview

FMD edge is a emergency action application developed by F-Droid Open Source, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.2 weighing in at 6.22 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 6.22 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "F-Droid Open Source" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

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 (https://f-droid.org/packages/de.nulide.findmydevice/).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FMD edge free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does FMD edge require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is FMD edge safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by F-Droid Open Source. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update FMD edge?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
