With Boomerang, anyone, anywhere can return what you lose.
The smarter, safer alternative to trackers and nametags
If you lost your headphones, passport or laptop tomorrow, it could be £££ gone.
Yet trackers don't stick, have limited range, and need constant charging. Name tags can’t be updated and expose your personal info.
BoomerangTag® is a smarter alternative: a durable QR code that makes it easy for finders to return your lost belongings without sharing personal information.
We've all seen those "I've found" messages in group chats and viral social media posts. Finders like us return things, make it as easy as possible for them.
(Free shipping, subscription free plan, rapid to set up!)
Your Own Lost and Found System
Simple. Smart. Safe.
We sit between trackers and nametags. Durable and go on anything, yet also enable anyone to return the item.
There's no need to share personal info, no bluetooth to drain batteries, and no tracking to worry about.
Set up is rapid, with subscription free plans and no apps to download. In no time your item has a second chance to come home.
You choose what a finder sees
Every item can show just the right amount of information you want
You can choose to share your name, email, phone number, WhatsApp, and a custom message. This information will be shown to the finder so they can easily contact you to return your item.
You can select the specific information you want to show (and each item can be different).
If you decide not to add any details, finders will still be able to contact you through Boomerang.
Finders include a phone number with their message so you can reply through Boomerang. This number is never shown to you or shared anywhere.
When a finder sends a message, you’re notified by email. PLUS members can also receive WhatsApp alerts, and Family PLUS supports up to three extra recipients.
You’ll find the finder’s message in your account, and you can reply directly from there if you want.
The finder receives an SMS from Boomerang letting them know there’s a new message. For PLUS members, the text of your reply is included.
The finder can read your message and reply again if needed. You see the conversation in a similar view.
Get your item back, mark returned!
The amazing part to Boomerang is that neither the finder or the owner need to share personal details for the item to be returned.
Let customers speak for us
Excellent key fobs neat and discreet. Really durable.
Loving this product purchased to replaced my outdated Chucky lost and found tab. Lovely design, Simple, and providing a safe way to add protection to personal items, help to returned when lost.
Easy to set up, great customer service.
I’m in control how much or how little personal info I which to provide.
Really easy to set up and customise the message people who find your stuff see. Great idea and hopefully if I ever lose anything (more than likely!) with the sticker attached then I’ll be able to get it returned.
Wearing well on car keys… getting hammered but still working grand.
It is very effective and works perfectly with my phone.
It’s a good idea to have these
These are great tracker stickers I have one on my bike and one on my phone. I love that it's simple easy to use and comes in different colours and styles. If I ever need more tracker stickers I shall buy these!
Absolutely brilliant! I used on my handbag. Tested it out when left it at my friends. Tracked and found. Will be buying these for suitcase and cabin bag when go away soon. ✨️🌟♣️♦️
As long as you don’t stick to leather or P.U leather it’s a great product
I have one of these on my earpods case, because I’m always worried about misplacing things when I’m out. I’m going to order lots more for other items too.
Durability of boomerang Tag much improved with same, excellent functions and simplicity of use. Seconds to set up, mind at rest forever. Will be purchasing more and recommending to friends and family.
I use on my phone, computer, kindle, favourite waterproof coat, dented (sentimental value) thermos cup ... all those things I might leave somewhere. And keys! Car fobs, house keys, spare keys! Means the honest folk in this world can do something when they find keys dropped on a footpath or when I absentmindedly leave my coat behind in a coffee shop ....
Finders, Returners.
Did you know, a lost wallet has a 60% chance of return by a kind stranger if there are contact details available.
We've all seen those messages in group chats and viral social media posts. Make it easier for finders to return your lost items.

Finders. Returners.
Every QR code is unique - a pack of 24 has 24 different QR codes. This means you can apply them to 24 different items or split them between different Boomerang accounts. It also means you know exactly what item has been lost, or you can rehome the individual item.
The contact details and information they can see are totally controlled by you, importantly it can be nothing.
Leave no information and finders can send you a message through Boomerang® via a big orange "Found me" button. You're notified by email, WhatsApp and SMS. This means neither finders nor owners need to share any personal details in order to return items.
E.g. finder finds your water bottle at the gym, they can scan and leave a message to say: "your water bottle is at the gym reception". Great, you know how to get your item back and neither finder or you has shared personal information.
Bluetooth trackers are great if you like to spend £40 for something that runs out of battery after 6 months, needs to be connected to work and tracks you the whole time.
Nametags are great if the finder is guaranteed to know you, and you don't mind sharing personal information.
Smart nametags sit in the middle. Anyone can return the item to you, they aren't expensive like bluetooth trackers and also go on objects that bluetooth trackers can't. They also don't track you or reveal all your information to anyone.
All of the tags come with subscription free features.
PLUS and FAMILY PLUS allow users to get more from their tags in addition to the free features.
It's not guaranteed, nothing is in life. Smart nametags give a lost item a chance to return though. A study dropped wallets with contact details across 40 countries (355 cities, 17,000 wallets) and found wallets with money were returned over half (51%) of the time - almost double the expected rate. In the UK the return rate was even higher at 60%!
This is because finders are very rarely thieves. It's just hard for them as they rely on group chats and social media to find you.
You'd expect the return rate to be very low without any contact details to help finders return the wallets.
Watch when the BBC dropped 10 wallets around Belfast with contact details in, how many do you think were returned?
Simply your phone and an email address. No apps to download and take phone space, or unique scanners.
When we started, we quickly found the phone was the toughest common place for a tag. In and out of pockets all day, hot then cold, keys scratching them often. See the attached picture for what a tag will look like after almost 10 months on a phone. Still works great, and is lasting much better than the case!
All our products are built to be durable like this.
You can, but we actually recommend using a traditional collar. Here's why:
For dogs, you need to consider the UK Control of Dogs Order 1992: every dog while in a highway or in a place of public resort shall wear a collar with the name and address of the owner inscribed on the collar or on a plate or badge attached to it.
As we don't inscribe details, you need to have a tag that does regardless of using a BoomerangTag®.
For other animals, if you lose them then really data protection isn't a priority and so having a number to contact immediately is sensible.
For items, it is very different, and that is why we created BoomerangTag® for items.
We don’t use NFC tags (the tech behind contactless cards) because they just don’t work well for lost-and-found items. While it sounds handy to just tap instead of scanning, there are a few problems:
- They don’t work on metal, which rules out loads of everyday items.
- They can mess with e-passports and stop them working at e-gates.
- Not many people actually know how to use NFC, and we need every finder to understand the technology.
That’s why we stick with QR codes — they’re simple, universal, and work every time.
Every account comes with 30 days free of our family premium plan.
