Apple AirTag

Apple

One lives in every bag I own. For a few dollars I always know where my work bag, travel bag, and camera bag are, and the Find My network means it works anywhere there is an iPhone nearby, which is basically everywhere. The first time a bag is briefly not where you thought it was, the AirTag has already paid for itself.

9.0/10 Tested May 2026

What works

  • Drop one in every bag and never wonder where your gear is again
  • Precision Finding walks you right to it when it is close by
  • Find My network is effectively everywhere, and the battery lasts over a year

The trade-offs

  • Apple ecosystem only
  • No built-in attachment point, so it is best with a holder or keyring
