Frequently Asked Questions

MYNE.

It’s a simple, safe and affordable way to connect your personal items to the digital world. Anyone with a smartphone can interact with our micro-chipped products, without having to download yet another app. It allows you to claim ownership of your items by using NFC embedded microchipped products. Think of it as a digital nametape.
No, we feel that Bluetooth trackers have their place in the digital world, but MYNE is approaching the lost and found issue from a different perspective by using passive NFC microchipped products.

MYNE's advantages:

  • Cheaper
  • No batteries so they will always work.
  • No need to rely on someone with the app walking near your lost item.
  • Finder can anonymously contact owner
  • Anyone can interact with MYNE tags, no app needed.
80 million items are lost each year in the UK and only 25% of them get back to their owner. We're on a mission to help reunite more people with their lost belongings.
No, our approach means that people actively interact with MYNE products by tapping their smartphone on the tag or by entering the MYNE code on our homepage.
MYNE's "Personal IDs" are digital business cards that allow users to share their social or business contact details with the tap of a smart phone. Users have full controll over what information is shared and users can change it whenever they want.

Technology

NFC stands for “Near Field Communication” and, as the name implies, it enables short-range communication between compatible devices.

A device (smartphone) sends out a signal that interacts with the microchips inside MYNE products. The smartphone then receives an "echo" which contains the information stored on the chip. This transfer of information only works over a 2-5cm distance, so your device needs to be very close to the MYNE product.
There are two ways to interact with a MYNE tag. The easiest way is to tap your smartphone on the MYNE tag in the same way you pay by contactless. You need to place the tag as close as possible to the scanner in your phone.

The second way to search for an item is to enter the MYNE coden on the homepage.

Almost all smartphones released after 2016 are compatible with NFC microchips. See the list of compatible phones here.

Even if your device is not NFC compatible, you can still interact by searching the MYNE code on the homepage.
We have a step-by-step process for setting up all our MYNE products that can be found at myne.io/set-up
Due to the way the radio frequencies interact with MYNE tags, some metal objects interfear with the "echo". The anti-metal layer allows the signals to travel freely to and from your device and MYNE products. If you plan to attach MYNE tags to metal objects, it is advised to get tags which contain a layer on "anti-metal" material.
