For the things you would hate to lose
Put a tag on something and a stranger who finds it can reach you in ten seconds — without an app, without an account, and without learning your phone number.
In real life
The moments a tag earns its place
Vehicles
Somebody needs to reach you about your car and there is nobody in it.
A blocked drive, a car park scrape, lights left on, or a vehicle being loaded onto a truck that should not be. They scan the tag and reach you without ever seeing your number.
Pets
Your dog is found by a stranger two streets away.
The tag on the collar opens a page with the name, anything a finder needs to know, and a way to message you. If you have marked the pet lost, you also get told the moment it is scanned.
Keys and bags
Your keys are handed in at a desk you will never think to call.
Whoever picks them up gets a way to contact you and nothing else. No address, no name if you would rather not, and no phone number unless you publish one.
Luggage
A case comes off the belt and the paper label is gone.
A tag that survives the hold and does not put your home address on the outside of your suitcase for the whole airport to read.
Electronics
A laptop is left in a meeting room, a taxi, or a train.
Most people who find a laptop would return it if returning it were easy. A scannable tag is the version of that which takes ten seconds.
Emergency ID
Somebody needs to help you and you cannot tell them anything.
The information a responder or a bystander needs, and the people they should call — shown to whoever scans it, exactly as much as you chose to publish.
Digital card
You meet somebody and neither of you has a pen.
One link or one tap gives them your details in a form their phone can save. You change your number once and everybody who ever scanned it has the new one.
Lost & Found
What happens when something is actually missing
Marking something lost changes what its tag does. The page a finder opens switches to a lost-mode profile you control — usually more contact, sometimes a reward, sometimes a note explaining the situation.
A sighting reaches you as it happens. If the finder chooses to share where they are, that location is blurred before it is stored and expires on its own; we never hold a precise point, and neither do you.
You can message them without either of you seeing the other’s number, and the channel closes when the case does.

These tags are scanned, not tracked
A QR or NFC tag has no battery and no radio of its own — it tells you something when a person reads it, not continuously. Tracking hardware is a separate product and is still in development. The difference, explained.
