You get to misplace things or stuffs that are so very important that you have to painstakingly look for as you have no idea where what was. House keys, car keys, remote controls or even your pets in the house might go wandering on a day you don’t expect.

A company has decided to take the pain of making frantic search for your belongings as it has produced Bluetooth embedded sticker called ‘StickNFind’ equipped with a low-energy technology which it ticked to be the solution.

With StickNFind, you hassle less as all your stuffs can be found without turning your house upside-down. These stickers are equipped with Bluetooth low-energy technology and are about the size of a quarter and weigh well under an ounce.

All you need do is to simply slap a sticker on anything (or anyone) and then use the accompanying app which would have been installed on your phone or tab (Newer iPhone, iPads and Android devices) to figure out where you put them last.

Each little tag also has sound and light that can be triggered separately.

The StickNFind app can be set to work kind of like radar or it can send you an alert when an item comes into range. You can also get a warning when an item goes out of range.

The radar-style function of the app can only tell you proximity, not direction. You’ll have to walk around and see where the signal gets stronger.

Each sticker uses a replaceable watch battery. The battery life estimate is a year with 30 minutes per day of average use.

Although, StickNFind is yet to go full-blown as the project is still in the pipeline for it has set an ambitious $70,000 goal on Indiegogo to put the project into full production.

The early-bird pledge price for two stickers is $35 (N5, 523.70). The highest pledge level is $150 (N23, 672.97) for 10 stickers.

The only thing StickNFind won’t help you with is if you lose your smartphone. Unless, of course, you have another smartphone or tablet around to help you find the one you lost.
