Read, write and manage NDEF tags. Tap a tag to see exactly what it holds — every record, the chip it uses, its size and how much room is left. Write what you actually need: - Links, text and notes - Wi-Fi networks, so guests join by tapping a sticker - Numbers to call, emails and text messages - A place on a map - A chat in WhatsApp or Telegram - Home Assistant tags, actions, events and dashboards - Several records on one tag, in the order you choose Everything you read or write is kept in a library you can name, annotate and search. Erase a tag to start over, or lock it for good when it is final. Ideas and requests are welcome.
TrailBand

TrailBand turns an FRS, GMRS or MURS channel number into the exact frequency and settings to program into a handheld radio. Built for offroad and overland groups, where some vehicles have bubble-pack FRS walkie-talkies and others have programmable radios, and nobody can work out how to make them talk to each other. • All 35 channels: FRS/GMRS 1 to 22, the eight GMRS repeater pairs, and MURS 1 to 5 • Receive and transmit frequency, offset, bandwidth, tuning step and power setting for every channel • CTCSS tones and DCS codes, with the bubble-pack privacy code number shown beside every standard tone • Search by channel number, or by a frequency you heard • Favorites for the channels your group runs • Export a CHIRP-compatible CSV to program a radio over USB • Send a plain text programming card to the group so every radio ends up identical • Reference articles on FRS vs GMRS, MURS, matching consumer radios, using a repeater, and choosing a trail channel Frequencies and power limits follow the US FCC allocations in 47 CFR Part 95. TrailBand is a reference tool: no account, no data collected, works entirely offline. A radio must be certified for the service it transmits in. TrailBand says plainly where the popular Part 90 handhelds stand.
