How tag2me works

A QR sticker, an account, and a few seconds of setup. That's the whole thing.

Saves you money

UK households lose ~9 items worth £218/year on average. Recovering even one usually pays for years of tag2me.

Protects your identity

Finders never see who you are. All messages, location sharing and rewards are brokered anonymously through tag2me.

Better for the planet

Every recovered phone, bag or bike is one fewer replacement manufactured, shipped in plastic and dumped in landfill.

Builds community

Makes the right thing easy. Finders feel good, owners feel grateful, and 10% of our profit goes to good causes.

1. Order your stickers

Pick a size (2cm–10cm) and finish (basic, laminated, or waterproof). Stickers ship in sheets of 20, each with a unique anonymous code.

2. Register with AI

Snap a photo and we identify the item, category, brand and key details. Stick the matching code on it. Done.

3. If lost, mark it lost

One tap turns on Lost Mode. Any finder who scans the code is shown your return instructions — they never see your identity.

4. Reunion

If the finder shares location, you coordinate collection in-app. Agree a reward or postage cost together. Or nominate a charity to receive it.

Footnote: at any step you can choose to donate the recovered item — or its value — to a charity instead of having it returned. 10% of tag2me's own profit also goes to good causes.

How we keep you anonymous

Your identity never leaves tag2me. Here's exactly what a finder sees, and what we hide.

  1. 1

    Finder scans QR

    They see only a short item description and your return preferences — no name, photo, email, phone or address.

  2. 2

    Message via tag2me

    Both sides chat through our relay. Email and phone numbers are never exchanged, and we mask them if shared by accident.

  3. 3

    Optional location share

    If you both agree, an approximate handoff location is shown — never your home address by default.

  4. 4

    Reunion or donation

    Choose courier, in-person collection, or donate the item to a charity. Contact details are deleted once the case closes.

Built around your privacy

Anonymous by default

Finders contact you through tag2me — no exposed phone, email or address.

Live status & location

Track each case as it progresses: scanned, claimed, in transit, returned.

Misplacement check

Scanned but not yet lost? We quietly nudge you to confirm before alerting the finder.

AI-assisted registration

Identification, categorisation, and value estimates without typing.

Why this is greener than buying new

Replacing a smartphone emits ~70kg CO₂e before it leaves the factory; a pair of trainers around 14kg. Every tag2me reunion avoids that footprint — plus the plastic packaging, fuel, and warehouse electricity that come with shipping a brand-new replacement.

10% of profit to good causes

We commit a tenth of every pound of profit to charities chosen by the tag2me community. You can also tick "donate" on any recovered case — we'll route the item, or its agreed value, to a cause that matters to you.
