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.

Possible in the apple ecosystem. If the kids are part of a "familly", you can monitor / control using Parental Controls accessed from your iPhone > Settings > Screen Time.

I’ve always thought their implementation of this is pretty poor. Lots of granular options but it’s difficult to cover all bases.
