The open-source stack pairs a web interface with Zephyr firmware so users can build their own trackers.

FindMyWeb, published on Codeberg, aims to let people build open-source location trackers on existing vendor networks without vendor-specific devices. Marked supported networks are Apple Find My, Google Find My Device and Samsung SmartThings. The backend uses malmeloo’s FindMy.py library to reach Apple’s network, while trackers run custom Zephyr firmware. Docker deployment and prebuilt firmware are still marked TBD.

Key facts
  • Apple Find My, Google Find My Device and Samsung SmartThings are checked as supported.
  • The backend uses the FindMy.py library for Apple’s network.
  • Tracker firmware is Zephyr-based; Docker and prebuilt images remain TBD.
  • The repository is mainly Python, Vue, C and TypeScript.
