Get a message when it's found
The finder scans with their phone camera and leaves a way to reach them. You get an email. They never see your details.
Already have stickers?
You're set up already.
Alerts go to the email you ordered with. To send them somewhere else, add the name finders see, or add a phone number, enter the code from your activation card.
It's the 8 letters and numbers on your card. You can also scan the QR code on the card.
Why we built it this way
Most lost-and-found labels print your phone number for anyone to read.
That's a lot to hand a stranger. A TangoTag sticker shows a QR code and nothing else. The finder sends you a message through us, and you decide how to reply.
A typical label
- Your phone or email printed on it
- Readable by anyone who picks it up
- Out of date when your number changes
A TangoTag sticker
- Just a QR code
- The finder never sees your details
- Change your email any time, no reprint
Put them anywhere
Every sticker in a pack has the same code.
One code means one inbox. The finder tells you what they found in their message.
Quick answers
Questions people ask first
Does the finder need an app?
No. They point their phone camera at the sticker and a page opens. No app, no account, no download.
What does the finder see about me?
Only the first name you choose, if you choose one: "You found something of Sarah's." Never your email, phone number or address.
What do I get for $12?
12 stickers, all with the same code, and a small activation card. We mail them to you.
Do I need to set anything up?
No. Alerts go to the email you used at checkout from the moment your stickers arrive. If you want, use the code on your card to change that email, add the name finders see, or add a phone number.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no login and no password. The code on your activation card is how you change your settings, so keep the card somewhere safe.
