Mu Tag is a loss prevention device that alerts users when they have forgotten their valuables at home via an accompanying app.
By connecting with the user's smartphone, Mu Tag will identify important reminders like a scheduled flight and send them before they leave the house to grab attached items.
While there are other loss prevention devices currently on the market, Mu Tag is the world's smallest one available today. Mu Tag also features a re-chargeable battery that will remain powered for three months. If the user goes out of range from the attached item, Mu Tag will send a notification to the user's phone and also remembers safe locations. Mu Tag comes in five inter-changeable colors and is priced at $25.
