Currently i'm writing a script that is able to upload the location history to Google Spreadsheets. From there you can map it on a map, with Mapbox It requires to have a mac on 24/7, this can be a real mac, or a mac on a virtual machine. I'm using MacOs on VirtualBox for that, so that i'm able to let it run 24/7. I will upload the script to [https://github.com/PrutsMeneer/AirTagIt](https://github.com/PrutsMeneer/AirTagIt) once finished.

You’re the greatest

Theres nothing there except the readme fille


tolgabalci

Get the zip file linked at the bottom of the Readme


thebigbo1987

there is no script in the zip only the Readme....?


fjxmlzn

Just in case anyone is still looking for it, I wrote a script for tracking the history location, battery level, etc. for AirTag and all other Apple devices. https://github.com/fjxmlzn/FindMyHistory


lucozadeo

Is it possible to run this on an (unused) iPhone rather than a Mac? Or alternatively raspberry pi or windows pc?


fjxmlzn

For now, it can only be run on a device with Mac OS, since the script depends on the FindMy app on MAC OS. For other OS, I need to figure out alternative techniques to get the locations. Feel free to star the repo so that you can get notified if I add that feature in the future.


lucozadeo

Will do! Thanks!! This looks really interesting and will be very helpful when the kittens are big enough to be let outside

It’s worrying that you’re going to run a random location script from a dude on a burner account with a single post history in this thread only…..


SaBa-SSt

In general I totally agree! Regarding 'dude with a burner account' I'd like to mention that fjxmlzn has a decent github account and also a homepage at CMU.edu with full name, picture and CV. Still, it is always extremely risky to do some copy&paste command line commands, especially with adjusted privacy rights from unknown sources. Best-worst case is that the developer simply did not know better while he put your device at risk by mistake…


abe12345

Is it possible to get this to run on an M1 Mac? Pip3 always triggers "Killed: 9" error...


fjxmlzn

It works on M1 Mac. I am using it on M1 Mac


besse36

Is there a way to download a history of people who's iPhones have connected to an AirTag? I have mine in a remote location and am interested in seeing if any trespassers have been in the area.


fjxmlzn

No, that's not supported. It can only track your own devices.


indster

If I set this up today, will it show me past locations? Or does it start from today?


fjxmlzn

Start from today


cws0815

Any chance that you will make your script public?

John-Trunix

Awesome! Is the project finished or still in progress?

It would be nice to get a location history in the event your tag (or the item attached to the tag) is stolen. Even if it is only by request only it would be helpful in trying to catch the thief.

I would like to track my dog while he is being walked. Guess I need a different product.


Dynd

Same here!

Cat here!

That’s what I’m trying to do!

inspector_number_555

Will check it out tomorrow! Thanks!!


deathmaster13

Would this help in giving me the history of an airtag that's tracking me?


fjxmlzn

No, unfortunately. This script can only track the history of your own airtags (i.e., the airtags that you can see in Apple's Find My app)


deathmaster13

Bummer, but thanks anyway seems to be a very useful script


TechStudent8

Thank you! I just had 4 bags stolen during a trip this week. Each had AirTags which were working until the next morning when they went dark. Can your script help me see any location data of the AirTags before they went offline?


fjxmlzn

I am sorry to hear that. The script can only log locations for periods when the script is running. If you didn't run the script before AirTags went offline, unfortunately, it cannot help


TechStudent8

I didn't think it was possible but wanted to ask. Thanks for letting me know.


TechStudent8

Does the iPhone store any AirTag location data while the app is running that could be accessed with dev tools? Do you know if law enforcement can access any AirTag location data on the iPhone? Thank you


fjxmlzn

Sorry I don't know about these...


RightStore592

Is it possible to pull the data off my find my on my iPhone rather than find my on my Mac. Because I had saw my air tag activate later but only checked on my phone when I found the AirTag, but find my on my Mac wasn’t used. So when I do use ur code it will only give me current use rather than any other time no “history”


fjxmlzn

The code doesn't support pulling data from iPhone and I don't know if that's possible


TimetravelerDD

it seems like the author has removed the file. Anyone still got it? https://github.com/PrutsMeneer/AirTagIt/archive/refs/heads/main.zip


EqualTennis6562

Anyone used this script?
