Even within Apple's platforms, there's pretty limited support for automation -- you can say "Siri find my keys" but there's no App Intents / Shortcuts support for automating anything within Find My (AFAIK), which is a bit disappointing.
- pixelmonkey 2y agoYes, although I recently discovered Hammerspoon which is a clever little bit of open source macOS desktop automation technology: https://www.hammerspoon.org/ https://www.hammerspoon.org/

- lelandfe 2y agoFind My has no any exposed Applescript commands. You'd next need to try (I think, been >a decade) Accessibility Inspector to find the names of the interface so you can tell Applescript what to click on. On some apps, even this doesn't work. I also suspect Find My is a Catalyst-ported iPadOS app, which tend to be awful/useless for scripting.

On some apps, even this doesn't work. I am cursed with a lot of experience doing just this. However, I will say that every year it's getting harder and harder to do. The new security/accessibility changes in Sequoia have made things even more of a nightmare.
- Angostura 2y agoI suspect they might be a bit wary of the privacy implications of giving other apps/Shortcuts access to Findmy data
