Are your things always running off? Not on our watch.
Tile is a tiny Bluetooth tracker that helps find your lost stuff in seconds. Attach, stick, or place Tiles inside everyday items and keep track of them in our easy-to-use app.

would suck to go for a walk while out remote and drop ya keys....

Problem would be range of Bluetooth I would think? I use a key safe attached to a recovery point when away from car, especially if likely to get wet.

Bluetooth is most effective within 30 ft, depending on the environment. Tile's Bluetooth range can extend up to 100 ft when there is a clear line of sight from the device to the Tile.

That is the problem as I see it. If I am on a trail walk and notice I don't have my keys, how far back can they be? I need to retrace the whole walk to maybe locate them. I have considered gluing one to the to TV remote the kids are always hiding somewhere though

I guy at work has these on his dog's and reckons they are great.

If you loose your dog, you can get a location for roughly where the dog is as long as someone nearby is running the app. If you're dog walks far enough eventually he/she will pass someone.

From the website: "Every phone running the Tile app can help another person locate their lost keys or other tiled item. And it's all anonymous and secure. It's all about the network."
