Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

I'm not sure, because I don't really know, what Find My can do (I think it's an Apple app, right?) What you can do with KDE Connect is make your phone ring to locate it. You can't access the phones location. I hope that was remotely helpful.
