About

A command-line tool that extracts your Find My friends' locations from macOS by automating the FindMy app GUI and using OCR to read location data. Works around Apple's lack of public API by taking screenshots and parsing the interface.

What it can do

  • Extract Find My friends' location data from macOS

    macOS Find My app interface → Location data of friends

  • Automate Find My app GUI interactions

    Find My app on macOS → Automated navigation and data access

  • Capture screenshots of Find My app interface

    Find My app display → Screenshot images

  • Parse location text using OCR

    Screenshots of Find My app → Text-based location information

  • Provide command-line access to Find My data

    CLI commands → Friend location data in terminal

Why it made the leaderboard

This is exactly the kind of creative technical workaround that developers love - using GUI automation and OCR to extract data when Apple won't provide an API. The multi-language implementation and thoughtful distribution (Homebrew, NPM, Claude plugins) shows serious engineering effort beyond a simple hack.
