通过 macOS FindMy.app 追踪 Apple 设备和 AirTag 位置

Find My (Apple)

Track Apple devices and AirTags via the FindMy.app on macOS. Since Apple doesn't

provide a CLI for FindMy, this skill uses AppleScript to open the app and

screen capture to read device locations.

前置条件

macOS with Find My app and iCloud signed in

Devices/AirTags already registered in Find My

Screen Recording permission for terminal (System Settings → Privacy → Screen Recording)

Optional but recommended: Install peekaboo for better UI automation:

brew install steipete/tap/peekaboo

使用场景

User asks "where is my [device/cat/keys/bag]?"

Tracking AirTag locations

Checking device locations (iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods)

Monitoring pet or item movement over time (AirTag patrol routes)

Method 1: AppleScript + Screenshot (Basic)

Open FindMy and Navigate

# Open Find My app
osascript -e 'tell application "FindMy" to activate'

# Wait for it to load
sleep 3

# Take a screenshot of the Find My window
screencapture -w -o /tmp/findmy.png

Then use vision_analyze to read the screenshot:

vision_analyze(image_url="/tmp/findmy.png", question="What devices/items are shown and what are their locations?")

Switch Between Tabs

# Switch to Devices tab
osascript -e '
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "FindMy"
        click button "Devices" of toolbar 1 of window 1
    end tell
end tell'

# Switch to Items tab (AirTags)
osascript -e '
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "FindMy"
        click button "Items" of toolbar 1 of window 1
    end tell
end tell'

Method 2: Peekaboo UI Automation (Recommended)

If peekaboo is installed, use it for more reliable UI interaction:

# Open Find My
osascript -e 'tell application "FindMy" to activate'
sleep 3

# Capture and annotate the UI
peekaboo see --app "FindMy" --annotate --path /tmp/findmy-ui.png

# Click on a specific device/item by element ID
peekaboo click --on B3 --app "FindMy"

# Capture the detail view
peekaboo image --app "FindMy" --path /tmp/findmy-detail.png

Then analyze with vision:

vision_analyze(image_url="/tmp/findmy-detail.png", question="What is the location shown for this device/item? Include address and coordinates if visible.")

工作流程: Track AirTag Location Over Time

For monitoring an AirTag (e.g., tracking a cat's patrol route):

# 1. Open FindMy to Items tab
osascript -e 'tell application "FindMy" to activate'
sleep 3

# 2. Click on the AirTag item (stay on page — AirTag only updates when page is open)

# 3. Periodically capture location
while true; do
    screencapture -w -o /tmp/findmy-$(date +%H%M%S).png
    sleep 300  # Every 5 minutes
done

Analyze each screenshot with vision to extract coordinates, then compile a route.

限制说明

FindMy has no CLI or API — must use UI automation

AirTags only update location while the FindMy page is actively displayed

Location accuracy depends on nearby Apple devices in the FindMy network

Screen Recording permission required for screenshots

AppleScript UI automation may break across macOS versions

Rules

Keep FindMy app in the foreground when tracking AirTags (updates stop when minimized)

Use vision_analyze to read screenshot content — don't try to parse pixels

For ongoing tracking, use a cronjob to periodically capture and log locations

Respect privacy — only track devices/items the user owns
