Doing a bit more hunting around, I found this, which doesn't look too bad, but introduces a mix of all kinds of technologies for what seems on the surface to be a pretty straightforward task.

Hunting around for what's available as an app for my Android device, I found this but I don't believe it's open source. But we can get ideas and see if the need is already met.
