Description

Send your GPS position in real-time to *your*server.

You need a self-hosted web server on which you're allowed toinstall this kind of script which records GPS coordinates(latitude, longitude) :https://github.com/herverenault/Self-Hosted-GPS-Tracker/blob/master/server-side/gps.php

Then, do what you want with those coordinates. It's *your*data.
For example, you can put these PHP scripts on your server in orderto show your family or friend where you are on a Google map :https://github.com/herverenault/Self-Hosted-GPS-Tracker/tree/master/server-side
It may be useful, for instance, if you're alone doing sport in anisolated area : in case of emergency (injury or failure), yourfamily may locate you easily on the map. Provided you have GPSsignal and data connectivity (4G, H+, 3G, EDGE...).

This app is NOT meant to be a stealth tracker, or to be forcedupon a user. So, please don't ask me how to hide it from the user,or how to prevent the user from closing the app.

I put a demo onhttp://herverenault.fr/self-hosted-gps-tracker/demo/i-am-here
To see your position on this page, enter http://herverenault.fr/gpsin the app on your phone (or tablet). It's an anonymous URL, so ifyou're not the only one doing it, you may see the location ofanother anonymous user.

Side-note: There are plenty of apps which do the same, forexample Open GPS Tracker. But I wanted an app
* which sends my position to my server, and only my server
* which does not download any map on my phone and thus does not goover my 3G plan
* the most simple ever : just enter URL, enable 3G and GPS and go!

And then, I wanted to do it just for fun. If you're interestedin it, source code in available onhttps://github.com/herverenault/Self-Hosted-GPS-Tracker under FreeSoftware license GPL v3.

This is not a product, I don't sell it, there's no ad. It's onlycode sharing. Enjoy.

Direct Dictaphone 1.13 APK
Want to record a thought ? Just launch thisapp and talk. No need to click any other button.It tries to detect when you stop talking (provided you're not inan a noisy environment or far from the phone) and it records up to45 seconds by default so it won't fill your memory card.Want to record another one ? Touch the red dot, or launch itagain from the phone lockscreen.This app is for recording short notes, such as "Remember to buymilk". If you want to record a long speech, don't use this app, butrather use VirtualRecorder for example.No network connection needed : notes are stored on the SDcard.You can listen to notes later: press the "Menu" key in Android2, or click on "Listen" in Android 4 action bar. Then click on anote.To send or remove a note, long click.Confirmation is an option that may be disabled insidePreferences.You may use a file manager, such as EStrong, to access the filesin the DirectDictaphone folder on the SD card.In order to play WAV files on Sony Xperia, I recommend using"Android Music Player", free app from JRTStudio.I made this app for my own use, first : I wanted somethingreally simple, for obvious security reasons. When you drive, youcan't type, you can't click buttons, you can just launch the appwhen the traffic light is red and go !There's no ad in this app. I'm happy if you find it useful.Source code available on https://github.com/herverenault/DirectDictaphone
