abTag: Lost and Found QR Codes for Your Gadgets
WHAT IS THE SETUP PROCESS?
SELECT THE PREFERRED TAG DESIGN (either "Scan if Found" or "Scan to Contact") AND APPLY IT TO YOUR DEVICE/GADGET
The codes have adhesive on them already, so all you have to do is select the preferred type. It’s super easy; just choose a spot that’s visible from most angles so the finder can easily see it.

Scan the code to activate it, follow the link that appears, and fill in your contact data for the selected QR code. If you want more privacy, don’t worry, as visibility settings can be changed later.
JUST WAIT FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT
Once all of the steps are completed, you’re good to go! Now, even if you lose your gadgets in the most unlikely of places, it will only take one person who stumbles upon it to start the process of contacting you and returning your stuff.
UTILIZE THE BUILT-IN CHAT OR EXCHANGE PHONE NUMBERS
When your code is scanned for either contact purposes or on account of a lost item, you will first be alerted and then added to a personal chat between you and the finder. Next, you can agree on a possible meet-up time/location that suits you both, perhaps in a cafe or other public location. You can even exchange phone numbers if you’d like to call the finder and verify everything firsthand.
abTags have many great, useful features for different scenarios
One great benefit is the ability to add a co-owner , as well as effective and quick info management, among others. A co-owner is a trusted individual who can manage the conversation about the lost item, directly with the finder, if you’re unavailable when the notification comes in.
It’s also worth noting that the co-owner doesn’t have access to the personal contact info and cannot change, update, or hide any details. Only you can do so. It’s completely up to you whether you want to make use of the feature, though we generally recommend it , as no one can guarantee 24/7 availability.
Stay prepared for all possible situations with QR tags
- You lost your headphones or AirPods in a public space/transit system. AirPods and headsets, both Bluetooth and cable-based, are as easy to lose as wallets and keys. By securing them with a QR code, however, you can avoid the additional stress that comes with such a sudden and often expensive loss . You’ll also be providing workers in public spaces with a way of contacting you if they come across the lost headphones. Just wait for a finder to scan the code, and from there, you can share details and return to the item’s location later to collect it.
- You accidentally left behind or misplaced your power bank. Power banks are only useful if charged, so it is best to keep them that way. Unfortunately, due to a plethora of reasons, the most common one being just forgetting them at a previous location, people often lose power banks. If a passerby notices your unattended power bank, all they have to do is scan the abTag code on it , and they’ll be put in touch with you to tell you where you left it. Later, you can arrange to meet up and retrieve it.
- GoPros or other action cameras are lost during sporting events or outdoor activities. When not properly secured, action cameras have a tendency to fall off your person or your clothing. Even if you’re careful, accidents can still happen. Unless you’re taking part in water sports or have traveled somewhere so remote that no one else is around, it’s likely that someone will eventually find your lost GoPro and try to contact you. From there, simply follow the aforementioned steps and, hopefully, retrieve it.
- You leave your Bluetooth speaker behind at a party or event. Organizing sound and music in public events, especially crowded ones, can be quite tricky. Even looking after one Bluetooth speaker can be anxiety-inducing when you have a big agenda, leaving you stressed about getting it back home with you at the end of the event. Luckily, even if you do misplace or lose your speaker, assuming someone is around to see the unattended device and scan its abTag, you can rest assured that the finder has a way to contact you.
- Smart watches, USB sticks, charging cables, and other small devices get misplaced. One great thing about our QR codes is the ability to customize size and color, making it fully adaptable to different gadgets. In simple terms, even if you possess something as small as a USB data stick or a smartwatch, A QR tag will still fit and work, no matter the external specs.
- You lost or forgot your handheld gaming console (Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, ROG Ally, etc.). Portable gaming is a popular choice for travelers, campers, and gamers around the globe, providing an easy and accessible playing format. For that reason, these devices tend to be pricey. But if you lose a portable gaming device, don’t panic! A QR code can provide the extra security you need . For example, instead of running aimlessly around the airport looking for your lost device, you could receive a quick notification on your phone or tablet when someone finds the lost item and scans the code on it.
- You forgot your SSD or hard drive at work or in a meeting. People tend to forget even the most important things at work, like the company’s hard drives and SSDs. You can even lose these items at home if you work remotely. Generally, these things turn up in a few days. But we’re not always so lucky with misplaced devices. If you secured such a device with an abTag, though, you’ve ensured that any individual who finds it will have a way to contact you. This way, you can save yourself from the stress and trouble of getting reprimanded at work for losing a device.
