Find-My alternatives (sh.itjust.works)

Hello. I just got a google pixel with grapheneos, and would like a way to use Apple's find-my or something similar with family members who still use Apple. I would like something open source that can either proxy my location to Find My or serve as an alternative. I know these apps and services are inherently not private but I do need it so please don't be the guy to say "just don't use it," I would if it were an option. Thanks.

google maps has location sharing, it works pretty well and it reminds you occasionally that you still have it on which is actually nice.

I would prefer not to use google services, but thanks for the suggestion.
