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. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Device and AirTag Location Lookup: Open FindMy.app, switch between Devices and Items tabs, and read locations from screenshots using vision analysis. - Peekaboo UI Automation: Use the optional peekaboo tool to annotate UI elements and click specific devices or items for detail views. - Location Tracking Over Time: Periodically capture screenshots to log an AirTag's movement, such as monitoring a pet's patrol route. - Use Case: Ask "where is my cat?" and the Skill opens Find My, navigates to the AirTag item, captures the screen, and reports the current address and coordinates. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find where your AirTag or Apple device is currently located using the Find My app.

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 terminal on macOS?▼

Apple provides no CLI for Find My, so tracking requires UI automation. Open FindMy.app with AppleScript, capture the window with screencapture, and use vision analysis to read the AirTag's displayed location.

How to automate the Find My app with AppleScript?▼

Use osascript to activate FindMy and System Events to click toolbar buttons like Devices or Items. For more reliable element-level interaction, install peekaboo via brew and use its see and click commands.

Does Find My have an API or command line interface?▼

No, Apple does not provide any CLI or public API for Find My. The only option on macOS is UI automation of the FindMy.app combined with screenshot analysis to extract location data.

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 the Find My app?▼

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