FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Find My app location tracking on macOS?▼

Find My app location tracking on macOS is automated using AppleScript to navigate the interface and screen capture to extract live device coordinates and statuses. This enables locating devices or tracking AirTags directly from your Mac.

Can I track AirTag movement over time using AppleScript?▼

Yes, AirTag movement can be tracked over time by running periodic AppleScript automations that open the Find My app and capture screenshots to read location changes at set intervals.
