Nothing is really lost until you stop looking. NFound is a lost-and-found network for the things and the people you cannot replace. Report what is missing, see what has been found near you, and reach the finder in the app. A MAP OF WHAT IS MISSING NEAR YOU Every report — a missing person, a lost pet, a found wallet — lands on a map with a photo, where it was last seen and how long ago. Filter by people, pets or items. Turn on alerts for your own area and hear about a new report as it goes up. REPORT IN ABOUT A MINUTE Pick what happened, add photos, drop the place on the map. It is live immediately, and neighbors who asked for alerts are told. TALK TO WHOEVER FOUND IT Chat, voice and video calls are built in. No phone numbers are exchanged unless you want them to be. TRACKING GROUPS FOR THE PEOPLE YOU WORRY ABOUT Invite family or close friends. Everyone decides for themselves whether to share their location, and can stop at any time. A group sees where its members are now; anyone who wants a trail can switch one on for themselves. Location sharing runs in the background only while it is switched on. SOS One button tells your emergency contacts where you are, starts sharing your position, and puts the local emergency number one tap away. NFOUND TAGS A steel QR + NFC tag for a collar or a bag. Whoever finds it scans it with any phone — no app, no account — and sees the profile you wrote and a way to reach you. One-time purchase, free shipping, no subscription. RUN BY A NONPROFIT NFound is made by NFound Samaritan Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in California. The app is free. Tags and donations pay for it.
