For me, discovery tags like Apple airtag There is a game changer. And this is not a word of hyperbole. He has truly saved me from countless hours of trouble, headache and heart touching disappointment, trying to find out where I have put something down.

Okay, I know if I had consulted my grandfather and “there was a place for everything and everything was placed in its place,” I would not need them, but it’s not that (sorry, Grandpa!).

Also: These durable mounts made my airtag twice useful (more secure)

Now that the Finder Tag Market has opened for third -party players, we are watching some real innovation. A company that stands for me is Slovenian tech company Chipolo. I have tested, review and use many tags from this company, and they do not disappoint.

Chipolo has just released a new line of tags – popThese tags can be used with Apple’s Find Mai or Google’s Find My device network, which means that your devices can be found a lot anywhere in the world.

Each tag has a 300 feet/90 meter Bluetooth range. Tag colors come in a series of colors-blue, black, green, red, white and yellow-so you can color with your wardrobe or personalize things such as keys.

Each tag emits a super-laud 120-desebel sound, loudly as a thundcalap, rock concert, or a performance of large fireworks. This makes the sound perfect to find your keys when they disappear behind the couch. The tags are powered by a user-replaced CR2032 battery that lasts for about a year.

Thanks to the free chipolo app, tags come with additional features. For example, to find your phone, just squeeze your tag a quick double, and it will ring even when silent. You can also use tag as a selfie button for your camera.

You can also say goodbye to boring beeps by changing the ringtone of the tag, and when you leave something behind you can get information (this is an Android-only feature).

And don’t worry about wetting these tags – they have been rated IP55 for water and dust resistance, so they can be printed with water or soaked with rain.

Pop tags are made using about 50% recycled materials in the European Union and come in paper packaging designed with stability and recycling.

Also: I found the smartest (and cheapest) way to protect the charging port of my laptop.

With all third-party tags, the device does not support the accurate discovery facility that is apple’s Airtag, iPhone and AirPods support.
