5 Gadgets That Work With Apple's Find My Network (That Aren't AirTags)

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

Apple's Find My network is widely known as the backbone of the company's AirTag smart trackers, which are attached to different valuables to keep track of them. While AirTags can use Bluetooth and ultra-wideband (UWB) technologies to communicate with your iPhone or iPad in close range, it is forced to rely on the Find My network for communicating back to your iPhone when you are farther away. 

Find My is basically a digital network that has access to millions of participating Apple devices worldwide. When you leave your keys with an attached AirTag in a coffee shop or drop them while walking back home, it's the Find My network that tells you where the AirTag is located so you can go back and find the keys.

However, Apple's first and second-generation AirTags aren't the only gadgets that use or can work with the Find My network. A number of Apple's own devices, such as the AirPods, as well as third-party products like the Belkin Soundform Freedom True Wireless Earbuds and the five accessories listed below, leverage this impressive network, as well.

If you're someone who frequently loses or misplaces their power brick, one solution is to slap an AirTag on it ... or you can go with Twelve South's PlugBug. It's your typical USB Power Delivery (USB PD)-compliant wall adapter, except it's easily found when lost thanks to built-in support for Apple Find My. USB PD is used by most Apple and non-Apple devices, so your PlugBug will be able to juice up most of your devices. It comes in two wattage variants, 50 watts and 120 watts, both of which also have travel counterparts with bundled adapters to suit the sockets in different international markets.

The 50W model has two USB-C ports, whereas the 120W variant has four. It features a sleek dual-tone design with a slim profile and foldable prongs. Moreover, it uses dynamic allocation of power when you plug in multiple devices, removing the need to worry about which is the higher-wattage port, a problem present in many other power bricks. However, some Amazon shoppers have complained about quality issues with their PlugBugs, such as failure to charge devices, ultimately garnering a rating of 4.1 out of 5. The Find My integration also makes it more expensive than regular USB PD power bricks from various value brands like Baseus and Ugreen. The 50W model has a list price of $70, while the 120W model will set you back $120 — though it's common for both variants to sell for a discount.

Although AirTags are pretty reliable for tracking a lot of things, the form factor makes it a bit tricky to use them with wallets, which is where the Ridge Wallet Tracker Card comes into play. It's a slim, credit card-sized smart tracker that seamlessly slides into your wallet and can be used to locate your wallet when lost using the Find My network. One of the highlights of the Ridge tracker is the built-in rechargeable battery that you can charge with any Qi or MagSafe charger; it lasts for up to five months before needing to be recharged. Many similar form factor trackers, such as the Tile Slim, have a non-replaceable or rechargeable battery, which turns them into e-waste after the included battery runs out.

The Ridge offering has a built-in speaker to make a sound when you're looking for your wallet and is rated IP67 for weather resistance. As far as price goes, it's expensive at $45 per unit compared with some similar offerings from other manufacturers. Despite the higher price tag, it has received excellent reviews from Amazon buyers who have given it a rating of 4.6 out of 5. However, a small selection of buyers noted getting non-functional trackers that were either dead out of the box or didn't work when needed. Fortunately, the company offers a 99-day trial and a lifetime warranty.

The Satechi FindAll Glasses Case is another interesting little gadget that works with Apple's Find My. As its name suggests, this device is a case for glasses and will come in handy for anyone looking to ensure they don't lose their expensive eyewear. It features a built-in rechargeable battery, a speaker, and Bluetooth connectivity. The Satechi offering also feels premium and is built well with a vegan leather exterior, microsuede lining to ensure your eyewear doesn't get scuff or scratch marks, and a magnetic closure mechanism. Moreover, it can fold flat when you're using the glasses, making it easier to store. 

It's not the cheapest option around at $50; however, you can choose from three colors and get a two-year warranty against any defects. It's also well-liked among buyers on Amazon, who have given it a 4.4 rating out of 5. Besides the higher price tag, some folks complain about the magnetic closure not being strong enough in case of a drop, which can potentially lead to your glasses falling and being damaged.

While one way of ensuring you can track your wallet is to get something like the Ridge Wallet Tracker Card that inserts into the wallet you already own, another option is buying a wallet that has that functionality built in. That's where ESR's Geo Wallet with Find My support comes in. This product looks like a regular bifold leather wallet, offering slots for your bank cards, transparent slots for your IDs, and a pocket for coins. The big difference between this wallet and an ordinary one is, of course, that you can find it using the Find My network if you forget it somewhere.

You can get the ESR Geo Wallet in three styles: Twilight Black, Aged Leather, and Black Carbon Fiber. Another highlight is the built-in rechargeable battery, which lasts six months on a single charge. Moreover, the wallet has built-in RFID blocking to keep your bank cards safe from unauthorized scanning. It has a list price tag of $40 and is popular among Amazon shoppers with an average buyer rating of 4.4 out of 5. It has received largely positive feedback. That said, some buyers have had issues with the built-in speaker.

Another accessory that can appreciate a little "Find My" love is a backpack, and Swissdigital Design has done just the same with its TSA Laptop Backpack. If you lose the backpack, you can use your iPhone and the Find My network to track its location, as well as making it sound an alarm and flash an integrated light. Like other Find My devices, you can also set the Find My app on your iPhone to alert you when you leave the backpack behind.

Another useful feature is the backpack's built-in USB charging support, which allows you to keep a power bank inside and use the USB port on the outside to charge your mobile devices. There is also an RFID pocket to keep things like your passport and bank cards safe. More importantly, it's a pretty functional backpack with 15 pockets to organize your stuff, an option to open it 90-180 degrees, and a protected laptop slot.

The Swissdigital backpack costs $120 and has received good feedback from Amazon buyers, who have awarded it a rating of 4.5 out of 5. The only problems that some buyers have faced include issues with the zippers, which feel low quality, and difficulty installing the Find My tracker module.

Although Apple's Find My network used to be primarily associated with AirTags, support for it has shown up in significantly more devices beyond regular AirTag-like smart trackers from third-party manufacturers. While finding interesting gadgets that leverage the Find My network, we looked through Amazon and the product portfolios of popular accessory manufacturers. We selected a diverse range of devices that can be useful for most people and that have received positive feedback from verified buyers. All our recommendations are also rated over 4 out of 5 on Amazon.
