Overview

trackmyd-bot lets you monitor the location of your phones, tablets, or any GPS-enabled device directly from Telegram. It works by receiving location data from GPSLogger (Android) and fetching positions through a simple self-hosted backend API.

Perfect for personal tracking, family safety, vehicle monitoring, lost device recovery, or keeping an eye on equipment — all under your full control.

It integrates with:

• GPSLogger (free Android app) → sends periodic location updates
• trackmyd-api (self-hosted backend) → stores and serves device positions securely
