Tintag is the Easiest, Most Complete and Reliable Solution to Track and Find Any Lost Item, Big or Small and Near or Far.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Today Tintag announced the first wireless rechargeable item tracking device to find keys, phones, pets, bags and any other lost items big or small and near or far. Unlike other solutions, the tiny waterproof Tintag devices also have more ways to notify users of the location of their lost items and can be connected to multiple smartphones at the same time. Tintag is also running a two-month Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, which has already surpassed 70 percent of its goal in only the first week.

Unlike other solutions that require users to replace batteries or buy new devices (Tile or TrackR bravo), the Tintag Home Base Companion wirelessly recharges Tintag devices for four months of usage after six hours of charging.

Using advanced Bluetooth technology with an improved antenna, the Tintag mobile apps (iOS and Android) help consumers quickly find any lost object that has the small Tintag device attached (via a sticker or small metal hoop). Unlike other tracking devices, Tintag devices offer more ways to find lost items: 1) a flash of LED lights, 2) a beep sound, and 3) an action button that allows a user to "ring" his/her phone or other paired mobile device within about 150 feet (or 50 meters).
With the Keep Close option on the Tintag app, users can set a preferred distance and get alerted if an item moves farther than this distance. The Tintag app allows users to track and find an unlimited number of items. It also saves the history of locations each time an item changes its location, helping users easily remember where they've left their item.
One Tintag for Multiple Phones
Unlike traditional tracking devices, a Tintag device can be connected to multiple phones at the same time (iPhone and/or Android phones). This is helpful, for example, if both parents want to simultaneously locate their child or pet. Tintag devices are sturdy (polymer front and back covers), small (39.2mm x 28mm), wireless and waterproof.
Finding Items Far Away
The Home Base Companion can also function as a Bluetooth hotspot that constantly scans for Tintag devices day and night. In the future, Tintag eventually plans to use multiple Home Base Companions to create a network of hotspots that help users to track and find lost items from far away (e.g., a cafe, store, a friend or relative's house, etc). Consumers also form a "lost and found community," so when someone finds a lost item and enters the Tintag's unique ID on www.found.tint.ag, users immediately receive a notification with the location of the item.
Tintag does not require users to create an account to use its mobile app. And Tintag stores data anonymously, ensuring that a person's information is safe and can never be linked to his/her identity.
Pricing and Availability
Tintag is available now for pre-order and the company plans to ship the first 500 prototypes with beta mobile apps as soon as November 2014. Fully optimized Tintag devices and apps are slated to ship in April 2015. During the Indiegogo campaign, one Tintag device with its home base charger costs only $19 (a $30 retail price value).
