Lost your keys - again? Left your phone somewhere in the house? iTag is the smarter bluetooth tracker app that works both ways. Ring your tag from your phone. Press your tag to ring your phone. Simple, fast, and no subscription required. TWO-WAY FINDING - THE FEATURE NO OTHER TRACKER HAS Most item tracker apps only go one direction. You open the app, tap a button, and the tag beeps. That's it. iTag goes further. Press the physical button on your iTag and your phone rings instantly - even if it's on silent, buried in a bag, or left in another room. You find the tag. The tag finds your phone. No other bluetooth tracker app does this. THE EVERYDAY KEY FINDER THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Attach an iTag to your keys, wallet, backpack, TV remote, luggage, or anything you regularly misplace. Open the app and tap Ring - then follow the beep straight to it. iTag is the key finder that's always ready, always connected, and never asks you to upgrade to find your own stuff. REAL-TIME DISCONNECT ALERT Walk too far from your tag and iTag alerts you immediately - before you've gone too far to turn back. Left your bag at a cafe? Forgot your keys at the office? Your air tracker notifies you the moment the Bluetooth connection drops, so you can act fast instead of retracing your steps hours later. WORKS EVEN WHEN YOUR SCREEN IS OFF iTag runs in the background using Bluetooth and background audio. That means if you press the button on your tag while your phone is locked, your phone will still ring. No need to open the app. No need to unlock your screen. Your bluetooth tracker is always listening, always ready - even when you're not looking at your phone. YOUR COMPLETE AIR TRACKER FOR EVERYTHING YOU OWN Keys. Wallet. Passport holder. Kids backpack. Camera bag. Bicycle. Pet collar. Luggage. iTag turns your iPhone into a full air tracker and item tracker for everything that matters. One app. Multiple tags. Zero monthly fees.

TrackerSonar finds hidden tracking devices around you. Scan for Bluetooth trackers and tags in seconds and get a clear answer: "No trackers found" or "1 possible tracker nearby". Check your bag, your car or a hotel room, see which devices keep showing up near you and walk straight to a hidden tag with a hot/cold signal meter. SCAN FOR HIDDEN TRACKERS Tap "Scan for Trackers" and watch the live radar fill up. Possible trackers are listed first, followed by other nearby Bluetooth devices such as AirPods and Apple devices. Simple filter chips keep the list tidy. SEE WHAT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION SUSPICIOUS marks tags that can be used to track people. TRACKED marks devices that were seen at several places. Mark your own tags as known and they no longer show up as suspicious. FIND THE DEVICE WITH LIVE LOCATE Live Locate follows one device's Bluetooth signal in real time. The gauge and haptic ticks grow stronger as you get closer, so you can find a tag tucked into a bag, a coat or a car. On supported tags, play a sound to hear where it is. The same finder helps you locate your own earbuds or headphones nearby. IS IT FOLLOWING ME? Every scan remembers where devices were seen. The sightings map and timeline show when and where a device turned up near you, so you can tell whether something really moves with you. ALERTS IN THE BACKGROUND Turn on continuous scan and get a notification when a tracker shows up near you, even while TrackerSonar runs in the background. A widget and a Live Activity show your protection status at a glance.
