FindMyWeb: Apple Find My, reverse enginiered

Share Post

A project which allows you to build trackers which you really own. The idea is to create a way for you to build your own trackers using the already existing networks without requiring you to own any vendor particular devices.

Supported networks

  • Apple FindMy
  • Google Find My Device
  • Samsung SmartThings

Why

Currently there are a lot of distinct networks for location trackers from a plethora of distinct vendors. This causes a lot of fragmantation and everyone requires you to own a equipment anywhere their closed-source application runs without you knowing what really happens alongside your location. The idea is to create a web interface for all of them and authorize you to build your own open-source trackers.

How

The backend currently uses malmeloo's FindMy.py archive to engage alongside Apple's network during the trackers run a tradition Zephyr based firmware. You can discover out additional info in the setup instructions.
