Go Haystack lets you track personal Bluetooth devices via Apple’s massive “Find My” network.
It uses OpenHaystack together with Macless-Haystack to help you setup a custom FindMy network with tools written in Go/TinyGo.
This package provides firmware written using TinyGo and the TinyGo Bluetooth package.
As a result, any of the following hardware devices should work:
- Adafruit Bluefruit boards using nRF SoftDevice – https://github.com/tinygo-org/bluetooth?tab=readme-ov-file#adafruit-bluefruit-boards
- BBC Microbit using nRF SoftDevice – https://github.com/tinygo-org/bluetooth?tab=readme-ov-file#bbc-microbit
- Other Nordic Semi SoftDevice boards – https://github.com/tinygo-org/bluetooth?tab=readme-ov-file#flashing-the-softdevice-on-other-boards
- Boards using the NINA-FW with an ESP32 co-processor – https://github.com/tinygo-org/bluetooth?tab=readme-ov-file#esp32-nina
- Boards such as the RP2040 Pico-W using the CYW43439 co-processor – https://github.com/tinygo-org/bluetooth?tab=readme-ov-file#cyw43439-rp2040-w
You can also run the beacon code on any Linux that has Bluetooth hardware, such as a Raspberry Pi or other embedded system.
The beacon code is located in the firmware directory.
Go Haystack also includes TinyScan, a hardware scanner for local devices.
The TinyScan code is located in the tinyscan directory.
You must have an Apple-ID with 2FA enabled. Only sms/text message as second factor is supported!
Start anisette-v3-server
docker network create mh-network docker run -d --restart always --name anisette -p 6969:6969 --volume anisette-v3_data:/home/Alcoholic/.config/anisette-v3 --network mh-network dadoum/anisette-v3-server
- Start and set up your Macless Haystack endpoint in interactive mode:
docker run -it --restart unless-stopped --name macless-haystack -p 6176:6176 --volume mh_data:/app/endpoint/data --network mh-network christld/macless-haystack
You will be asked for your Apple-ID, password and your 2FA. If you see serving at port 6176 over HTTP you have all set up correctly
Hit ctrl-C to exit the process once it has been configured.
- Restart the macless-haystack server
docker restart macless-haystack
See https://github.com/dchristl/macless-haystack/blob/main/README.md#server-setup for the original instructions.
Install the go-haystack command line tool
go install github.com/hybridgroup/go-haystack/cmd/haystack
Should return any local devices within range:
