The right person,
one tap away.

Emergency ID wristbands for children, health conditions, autism and dementia, plus collar tags for pets. Whoever finds or helps the wearer taps the band with their phone and reaches the right person in seconds. They don't need an app, and there's nothing to charge.

Tap the band to see what a finder sees

Find the right band

Every band does the same simple thing. What it shows, and who it calls, is up to you.

Kids

A bright band for little wrists. If they wander off, whoever finds them taps it with any phone and can ring you in seconds. They don't need an app, and nobody sees anybody's number. A photo is optional, and only shows if you switch it on.

Tags for collars, bags and keys

The same tap and the same private page, on a round tag.

Pet tags

A round tag for a collar. If your dog or cat goes missing, whoever finds them taps it with their phone and can reach you straight away. Details like medication or a nervous temperament show only if you switch them on.

For organisations

Schools

Trip bands carrying no child data at all. Just your school name and the trip leader's number, so a member of the public who finds a child gets straight through to your staff. Nothing to set up, nothing stored, nothing to breach.

Venues

Reusable session bands for soft play, trampoline parks, farm parks and attractions. A parent links their number at entry with one tap, the band unlinks at exit and is reused tomorrow. Faster reunifications, an auditable record for your insurer, and no child data kept past the session.

Lost abroad? The finder reads it in their language.

The page opens in whatever language their phone is set to, with seven languages so far. Anything you've typed yourself shows as you wrote it, so short, simple words work best. Included with Guardian.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tap the band

    Open the pack and tap the band with your phone. Enter the code from the card inside and the band is yours.

  2. 2

    Fill in a profile

    A name, who to call, and only the details you choose to show. Anything you don't switch on stays hidden.

  3. 3

    They wear it

    Water-resistant, comfortable, no battery and nothing to charge.

  4. 4

    Someone taps it

    They see what you chose to share and can contact you straight away. You're alerted the moment it's tapped.

Privacy, built in

  • The band holds a random link and nothing else. A lost band gives nothing away.

  • You're alerted the moment the band is tapped.
  • Finders share their location only if they choose to.
  • Change or switch off the page at any time, without a new band.

Questions

Does the person who finds them need an app?

No. Tapping the band opens a web page in the phone's browser. Most phones read it with the screen unlocked: iPhone XS and newer, and most Android phones with NFC switched on. Every band also has a QR code, so a phone without NFC can scan it with the camera instead.

Do they need an internet connection?

Yes. The band holds a private link, not your details, so the finder's phone needs mobile data or wifi to open the page. That's deliberate: nothing personal is stored on the band, and you can change or switch off what it shows at any time.

Is this a tracker?

No. There's no GPS and no battery, and the band can't report where it is. You only hear about it when someone taps it, along with the approximate area of that tap. The finder can share their exact location, but only if they choose to.

What if the band is lost or stolen?

Switch it off in your dashboard and the page goes blank straight away, so whoever has it sees nothing. Nothing personal is stored on the band itself.

Can I change the details without buying a new band?

Yes. The band only holds a link. Edit the details in your dashboard whenever you like and the page updates straight away, for as long as you use TapFound.

What does it cost?

The band is a one-off purchase. After that, the Free plan covers up to 2 bands, with email alerts, chat with the finder and one-time location sharing. Guardian costs £3.99 a month or £34.99 a year and adds SMS alerts, an escalation chain, masked calling, auto-translation, and more bands and contacts.
