You've never misplaced anything but your phone?

Creating more electronic waste for that once in a year time you need to locate your keys VS spending 15 min to find them. It's nice in theory but it doesn't really solve anything, a bit like Juicero, nike self lacing shoes, &c. If you start putting bluetooth tags on everything you could potentially forget somewhere you're in for a wild ride.

  I use tile to find keys at least once a week.

  Im envious of your ability to keep track of your things. I end up needing to use the one of my tiles to find either my keys, phone, wallet or work badge almost every other day. When the batteries in them go dead its easy enough to to swap them out myself for new ones.

    Wow! Forgive me, but why can’t you just keep them in the same place? My wallet and keys are 100% of the time in the same place when I’m at home, and my phone is either in my pocket, my hand, charging in a specific spot, or on a random surface in the house. That last one is rare, but happens. It takes roughly 30 seconds to walk through the house and find it. What am I missing?

      Different people are different. I now keep my personal things in the same place at home >99% of the time, but it's taken me decades of training to get to this point. For example, I used to walk in with my keys, and would be ready to put them into their home. But there could be an interruption between the time I used the keys to open the front door and when I put them in their home. For me, that situation would often cause me to put my keys in an inappropriate place, which often caused them to get 'lost' later on. The behaviour modification, for me, was causing me to resist any reaction to any interruption until the necessary things landed where they belonged. Different people are different.

        That sounds more like you just need to have the place that you put your keys immediately by the door.

      Personally, I've found having them in the one place works really well until my under-5 year old wants to play "driving to daycare" and forgets where they left them once done.

  Also great for parents with children of any size, just place it under the insole of their shoe.

    It's not nearly sturdy, weatherproof, slim, or loud enough to work there. The 30 foot range and assumption that it is still in the location where your phone last connected to it are further limitations...

Its the thing I'm most worried about misplacing.
