SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Apple does not provide a native CLI or public API for the FindMy.app on macOS, making it tedious to manually check the location of registered Apple devices and AirTags through the graphical interface.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • FindMy.app UI Automation: Interact with the FindMy.app interface via AppleScript and screen capture to retrieve device and AirTag locations without a native CLI.
  • Cross-Device Tracking: Locate iPhones, iPads, Macs, AirPods, and registered AirTags, with support for long-term movement monitoring for items like pet collars or keys.
  • Reliable Automation Option: Integrates with the optional peekaboo tool for more stable UI interaction, reducing breakage from macOS version updates.

Quick Start

Ask the findmy skill to show you the current location of the AirTag attached to your laptop bag.
