Looking around for things related to a “find my phone” function, I came across these:
Which mentions two tools, position-cli by Kimmoli, and gps.py by slowcyclist:
- GitHub - kimmoli/position-cli
- GitHub - slowcyclist/gps: python script to get a gps fix on SailfishOS phones
Both still work, and could be a starting point for a background service.
Proof-of-concept:
