Wasted

You can use PanicKit, tile, shortcut or send a message with authentication code. On trigger, using Device Administration API, it locks a device and optionally runs wipe.

Also you can:

  • wipe a device when it was not unlocked for N time
  • wipe a device using a duress password (companion app: Duress)
  • wipe a device on USB connection event (companion app: USBKill)
