    Do you airtag your vehicle and want to know where your mechanic "test-drove" it? This might help you!

    I was frustrated that Apple Find My would always only show the live location - so I wrote a small little app that polls the location of my devices every now and then and saves it to a local database.

    I also give you a web interface to view the historical timeline of each device.

    Great work! What is the most aggressive polling interval that can be configured? Any potential downside to running this that could cause negative impact to an Apple ID?

      You can configure it in the `.env`.

      By default it's randomly polling between every 7 and 10 minutes, but I set it to poll between 3 and 7 minutes personally - still haven't been blocked.

      I can't say what the best aggressive polling interval is... I just wouldn't want to deal with Apple blocking my account so it's set to something "conservative" by default.
