findmylinux

Makes a laptop advertise itself on Apple's Find My network as an accessory, so any passing iPhone tells it what its location is, which is then used as the system's geolocation. Ships a GTK app for keys and status.

The findmylinux app

The fix in the screenshot is a placeholder. I am not in Hell, Michigan, and never have been.

Install

From the AUR:

paru -S findmylinux          # pulls findmylinux-anisette as a dependency
systemctl --user enable --now findmylinux-anisette
findmylinux keygen
findmylinux login            # Apple ID + SMS, or use the app's Sign in
sudo systemctl enable --now findmylinux@$USER     # start advertising
systemctl --user enable --now findmylinux-location

Or from a checkout, for development:

./findmylinux.py keygen
pkexec ./install.sh
systemctl start findmylinux@$USER
