SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Apple provides no CLI or API for Find My, so locating devices and AirTags from a terminal or agent workflow is impossible without UI automation. This Skill bridges that gap by driving the FindMy.app with AppleScript and screenshots, then reading locations with vision analysis. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Device and AirTag Location Lookup: Open FindMy.app, switch between Devices and Items tabs, and capture screenshots to read current locations. - Peekaboo UI Automation: Use the optional peekaboo tool for annotated UI captures and precise element clicks on specific devices or items. - Periodic Location Tracking: Run a capture loop (e.g., every 5 minutes) to log an AirTag's movement over time, such as monitoring a pet's patrol route. - Use Case: Ask where your keys are, and the Skill opens Find My, clicks the AirTag item, screenshots the detail view, and reports the address and coordinates shown. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to find where your AirTag or Apple device is currently located using Find My on your Mac.

Frequently Asked Questions about findmy

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track an AirTag location from the command line on macOS?▼

Apple provides no CLI for Find My, so tracking requires UI automation. Use AppleScript to open FindMy.app, capture the window with screencapture, and analyze the screenshot with a vision tool to read the AirTag's location.

How to automate the Find My app with AppleScript?▼

Use osascript to activate the FindMy application and System Events to click toolbar buttons like Devices or Items. After the UI loads, take a screenshot and extract location details with vision analysis.

Does Find My have an API or CLI for location queries?▼

No, Apple does not expose any CLI or public API for Find My. The only option on macOS is UI automation of the FindMy.app combined with screen capture and image analysis.

Why does my AirTag location stop updating during tracking?▼

AirTags only update their location while the FindMy page is actively displayed in the foreground. If the app is minimized or the item page is closed, updates stop, so keep FindMy in the foreground during monitoring.

What permissions are needed to screenshot Find My on macOS?▼

The terminal needs Screen Recording permission, granted in System Settings under Privacy and Security. Without it, screencapture cannot read the FindMy window contents.
