Anyone have alternatives to Apple's AirTags or Samsung's smart tags? I want to have a smart tag tracker on my keys because sometimes I'm really forgetful and would like to have a way to find them without much hassle.

I'm on Android BTW and I know that Apple's AirTags only work on their stuff so I don't count them as an option for me. I just listed them because I wanted to give an example of what I mean.

I would be very happy to see some alternatives to those tags for Europe!

https://chipolo.net/ is based in Slovenia. Their products work for Android and iOS.

Good stuff, bought 10 of them a while ago. Everything I often lose is tagged.

Sadly you can't replace the batteries in the flat wallet thingies easily.

Aren't those rechargeable?

I heard about these from the Netherlands a bunch of times, but do your research on whether they're your best option. Also they offer them for 20€ each and I've seen them for 7 or 8€ I think, (although could be an older generation, these look a bit different to me): https://freshnrebel.com/shop/smart-finders/

Also a company I like called No Longer Lost that sells a different solution, might not be what you're looking for though: https://store.nolongerlost.com/collections/all

Last but not least a personal tip is to have a place near your door where you can actually hang / put your keys. Since I have this little plate in my hallway and 'trained' myself to put my keys there after I unlock my front door I barely ever have to look for them again (it's just my wallet, phone and glasses now lol)

Bit pointless to have a tag that's only compatible with a US OS.

I get your point but I'm just helping out a fellow community member. Didn't see you making any suggestions.
