SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly find and monitor Apple devices or AirTags when Apple provides no built-in command-line interface, by using macOS UI automation and visual reading to extract location details.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AppleScript-based UI control: Opens FindMy.app and switches between Devices and Items (AirTags) to reach the relevant screen.
  • Screenshot-driven location capture: Uses screen capture plus vision analysis to read device/item names and displayed locations.
  • Optional Peekaboo automation: Improves reliability for clicking and capturing detail views when basic AppleScript interactions are flaky.
  • Use Case: Track an AirTag’s location over time (e.g., monitoring an item or pet’s movement) by periodically taking screenshots and analyzing the location from each one.

Quick Start

Ask Zeus to open the Find My app, capture the relevant Devices/Items view, and use vision to extract the displayed location for your requested device or AirTag.
