About:
Locateme is a command-line utility that interfaces with Apple's Core Location framework to retrieve the device's current geographical coordinates. It provides a simple way to programmatically access location data, returning latitude and longitude based on Wi-Fi or IP-based positioning. This tool is useful for developers and power users needing quick location context without a graphical interface.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting
  • Uses Apple's native geolocation services
  • Outputs coordinates in a parseable format
  • No background service required
Use Cases:
  • Automating location-based shell scripts
  • Quickly checking IP-based location for network diagnostics
  • Geotagging command-line generated data
Alternatives:
  • curl ipinfo.io – Uses IP geolocation instead of Apple's services, generally less accurate for precise positioning.
  • Core Location CLI (custom scripts) – Requires building your own wrapper, whereas Locateme provides a pre-built binary.
