bluetooth tracker

Digital lost-and-found

A Bluetooth tracker is a small electronic device that pairs with a smartphone to help locate personal items.

You attach one to keys, luggage, or a wallet, then use an app to find the item when it goes missing: I put a Bluetooth tracker on my dog's collar.

Most work by detecting proximity via Bluetooth signal strength, though some leverage networks of other users' phones to locate items over greater distances.
