FollowMyFriends is a native macOS menu-bar app that reads Apple Find My friend locations from the local device database and publishes them to Home Assistant over MQTT. It requires no cloud service or third-party account, working entirely on the user's local network. It's aimed at Home Assistant users who want privacy-preserving presence tracking for friends who already share their location via Find My.
