Introduction
# 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](https://github.com/steipete/peekaboo)) - **Hammerspoon** (optional) - for reliable UI clicking ([hammerspoon.org](https://www.hammerspoon.org/))
## 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"] } ] } ```
| Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `target` | Contact name to track (optional - defaults to first shared contact) | | `known_locations` | Array of places you want labeled with addresses | | `markers` | Landmarks visible on the Find My map when at that location |
## Usage
```bash findmy-location # Human-readable output findmy-location --json # JSON output ```
### Example Output
``` 123 Main St, City, ST (home) - Now ```
```json { "person": "[email protected]", "address": "Main St & 1st Ave", "city": "Anytown", "state": "WA", "status": "Now", "context": "out", "screenshot": "/tmp/findmy-12345.png", "needs_vision": false } ```
| Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `context` | `home`, `work`, `out`, or `unknown` | | `needs_vision` | If `true`, use AI vision on screenshot to read street names | | `screenshot` | Path 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. Returns address and context, or flags for vision analysis
## Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | Clicks go to wrong window | Install Hammerspoon (see prerequisites) | | "No person found" | Ensure location sharing is enabled in Find My | | Always shows `needs_vision: true` | Add markers for frequently visited places | | Permission errors | Grant peekaboo Accessibility + Screen Recording access |
