Find My Location#

Track shared contacts via Apple Find My with street-corner accuracy.

Requirements#

• macOS 13+ with Find My app
• Python 3.9+
• iCloud account signed in on your Mac (for Find My access)
• Location sharing enabled from the contact you want to track
• peekaboo - screen reading CLI ( GitHub)
• Hammerspoon (optional) - for reliable UI clicking ( hammerspoon.org)
• SKILLBOSS_API_KEY - for AI vision fallback via SkillBoss API Hub

Prerequisites#

1. iCloud & Find My Setup#

Your Mac must be signed into an iCloud account with Find My enabled:

• System Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Find My Mac (enabled)
• The person you want to track must share their location with this iCloud account via Find My

2. Install peekaboo#

bash

brew install steipete/tap/peekaboo

Grant Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions when prompted (System Settings → Privacy & Security).

3. Install Hammerspoon (optional but recommended)#

Hammerspoon provides reliable clicking that works across all apps. Without it, clicks may occasionally go to the wrong window.

bash

brew install hammerspoon
open -a Hammerspoon

Add to ~/.hammerspoon/init.lua:

lua

local server = hs.httpserver.new(false, false)
server:setPort(9090)
server:setCallback(function(method, path, headers, body)
    local data = body and hs.json.decode(body) or {}
    if path == "/click" then
        hs.eventtap.leftClick({x=data.x, y=data.y})
        return hs.json.encode({status="clicked", x=data.x, y=data.y}), 200, {}
    end
    return hs.json.encode({error="not found"}), 404, {}
end)
server:start()

Reload config (Hammerspoon menu → Reload Config), then create ~/.local/bin/hsclick:

bash

#!/bin/bash
curl -s -X POST localhost:9090/click -d "{\"x\":$2,\"y\":$3}"
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/hsclick

Installation#

bash

git clone https://github.com/poiley/findmy-location.git
cd findmy-location
./install.sh

Or via ClawdHub:

bash

clawdhub install findmy-location

Configuration#

Create ~/.config/findmy-location/config.json:

json

{
  "target": "John",
  "known_locations": [
    {
      "name": "home",
      "address": "123 Main St, City, ST",
      "markers": ["landmark near home"]
    },
    {
      "name": "work",
      "address": "456 Office Blvd, City, ST",
      "markers": ["landmark near work"]
    }
  ]
}

FieldDescriptiontargetContact name to track (optional - defaults to first shared contact)known_locationsArray of places you want labeled with addressesmarkersLandmarks visible on the Find My map when at that location

Usage#

bash

findmy-location          # Human-readable output
findmy-location --json   # JSON output

Example Output#

text

123 Main St, City, ST (home) - Now

json

{
  "person": "contact@email.com",
  "address": "Main St & 1st Ave",
  "city": "Anytown",
  "state": "WA",
  "status": "Now",
  "context": "out",
  "screenshot": "/tmp/findmy-12345.png",
  "needs_vision": false
}

FieldDescriptioncontext``home, work, out, or unknown``needs_visionIf true, SkillBoss API Hub vision was used to read street names from screenshotscreenshotPath to captured map image

How It Works#

1. Opens Find My app and selects target contact
2. Captures map and reads accessibility data
3. Matches visible landmarks against configured known locations
4. If no known location matched, calls SkillBoss API Hub vision ( /v1/pilot, type: chat) to read street names from screenshot
5. Returns address and context
