Curious on suggestions for airtags, or similar, for tracking important things on flights or other cases where losing the specific item would be too much of a financial / sentimental loss. Anyone doing this from Linux, or from graphene? How is it?

    The system was reverse-engineered almost as soon as it was released. You can do the reverse of what OP is asking using OpenHaystack (track a non-Apple device using Apple’s Find My Network).

      It looks like they have an Android app which means a Linux app could exist, and wouldn’t that do exactly what OP wants to do?

      Edit: Looks like it might depend on Apple Mail. I wonder how the apps work. It must need to be running on a Mac somewhere or something?

      Edit: Yup, that’s exactly it, needs to be running on a Mac.
