SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Apple offers no official CLI or public API for the FindMy app, forcing users to manually navigate the graphical interface to check the location of their Apple devices or AirTags, which is inefficient for frequent checks or long-term tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Device and AirTag location lookup: Retrieve real-time location data for iPhones, iPads, Macs, AirPods, and AirTags registered to your Apple ID.
  • Long-term movement tracking: Capture periodic location updates to monitor the movement of tagged items or pets over hours or days.
  • Flexible automation support: Use basic built-in AppleScript and screen capture tools, or the optional peekaboo utility for more reliable UI interaction.
  • Real-world use case: Track your cat's daily patrol route by capturing AirTag location data every 30 minutes and compiling the full path.

Quick Start

Use the findmy skill to track the location of your AirTag-tagged backpack for the next 3 hours and compile a log of all location updates.
