Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM.

Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute.

I walked around watching the number climb. Found it.

Apparently you can just make the tool you need now.
