This looks great. If this Python implementation of the FindMy API actually works, it would be a major technology quality-of-life improvement for me. I hope Apple lets it stay alive.

Everyone who shares location with me does so over Find My, and my family insists on using AirTags. As a 100% desktop Linux and mobile Android user, it is one of the few things that I always need to remote in to my Mac Mini to access because there are no x-platform FindMy apps and the FindMy iCloud web app does not have feature parity to the macOS and iOS apps. One of a long list of offenses where Apple refuses to make things easy for x-platform friend groups and families. Very annoying.

One that really annoys me is inability to monitor/control my kid's device useage and time limits.

Unless you are arguing that the feature should be removed from iOS and macOS devices, it is entirely a technical issue. Me preferring to use an Android device rather than an iPhone is not a parenting issue.
