How it works

1

Stick

Six waterproof labels arrive in the post. Put them on anything you'd hate to lose.

2

Scan

If it goes missing, any phone camera opens your item's page. No app needed.

3

Message

The finder messages you through ScanIfLost. Your details stay private.

4

Returned

Arrange the handover somewhere public and mark it returned.

Not a tracker. An AirTag helps you locate an object. ScanIfLost helps the honest person already holding it get it back to you.

See what happens when someone finds your stuff

Pretend you just found this bag. Scan the code to see what a finder sees, send the owner a message, and read the email they get back — about thirty seconds, and it explains the privacy part better than we can.

Walk through it right here

Find a bag, message its owner, and see the email they get.

Or scan it for real

Point a phone camera at this code — the same thing a finder does, no app and nothing saved.

This is the same page a real finder lands on — with a made-up item, so nobody is contacted.

What are you protecting?

One scan lets the finder contact you privately — whatever they’ve picked up.

Backpack

You went home. Your backpack didn't.

A keyring tag on the strap means whoever picks it up can tell you where it is.

Keys

Someone found your keys. How are they supposed to find you?

There's no name or address on them — just a code they can scan to reach you.

Laptop

Left in the meeting room. Again.

A label on the lid turns a lost laptop into a two-minute message.

Luggage

Your suitcase ended up somewhere you didn't.

Baggage handlers, hotel desks and taxi drivers all have a phone camera.

Will my personal details be visible?

No — and that’s the main reason to use a ScanIfLost tag instead of writing your number on a luggage label. Nothing personal is printed on the tag, and nothing personal is shown on the page it opens.

A finder sees

  • What the item is
  • Your first name
  • Whether you've reported it lost

A finder never sees

  • Your surname
  • Your email address
  • Your phone number
  • Your address

Messages pass through ScanIfLost in both directions. If you want to swap numbers to arrange a handover, that stays your decision. How we handle your data.

Questions people ask

What happens if someone scans my tag?
Their camera opens a page showing what the item is, your first name, and whether you’ve reported it lost. There’s a box for them to say where they found it. As soon as they send that message we email you, and you can reply from your dashboard.
Does the finder see my phone number or email address?
No. Neither is ever shown on the page or in the message thread — replies go through ScanIfLost. If you decide you’d rather swap numbers to arrange a handover, that’s your choice to make in the conversation.
Do they need the ScanIfLost app?
There isn’t one, and that’s deliberate. Any modern phone camera reads the code and opens a normal web page. A finder who’s never heard of ScanIfLost can message you within seconds of picking your things up.
Can I move a tag between items?
A label stays stuck to whatever you put it on, but the page behind it is yours to change — rename what a code protects at any time from your dashboard. If a tag gets damaged or you give the item away, deactivate it and scans stop working immediately.
Is there a subscription?
No. You pay once for the labels or keyring, and that’s the last we take from you.
How long will my QR code work?
Indefinitely. The codes don’t expire and there’s no battery to run out. You can deactivate a tag yourself if you give the item away.

Put a code on it before you need it.

6 waterproof labels for £4.50, posted free. Your codes go live the moment you've paid — you can name what each one protects while the post is still on its way.
