A discreet lanyard add-on that does the remembering bit.

This Basketball NFC Tag is a tap-to-open add-on designed for lanyards, but it’s just as handy clipped onto anything you’d normally pop a keyring on; bags, coats, keys, pencil cases, zip pulls, ID holders, phone straps, backpacks, travel cases, lunch bags — you name it.

We programme it for you before it leaves us, so it’s ready to use straight away.

Just tap it with a smartphone and it opens the action you’ve chosen.

What it can do (we programme it for you)

Tap to Call – opens the phone dialler with your chosen number ready

Tap for Directions – opens maps to your chosen address

Tap to Open a Link – opens any URL you choose (for example a calming playlist, a school website, a form, or your socials)

Tap to Save Contact – opens a contact card so details can be saved to a phone

Link ideas (if you choose the link option)

• A calming playlist / favourite track

• A breathing exercise page or gentle timer

• School website or parent portal

• A form you always need (medical, school, travel)

• Your Instagram/TikTok or small business page

• A Google Maps pin (if you’d rather use a link than directions)

What it’s for (real-life stuff)

• Mind blank moments: tap instead of trying to remember what you meant to do

• Executive dysfunction days: fewer steps, less overwhelm

• Out and about support: quick access to help info without a big conversation

• Busy families / SEN life: one-tap access to a contact or directions when you’re juggling everything

How to use

• Pick your action: Tap to Call, Tap for Directions, or Tap to Open a Link

• We programme it for you, so there’s nothing to fiddle with

• Give it a quick test when it arrives, just so you know it’s doing exactly what you wanted.

• Tap the tag with a phone to open the action (some phones show a prompt first)

• Keep it where you’ll actually reach for it: lanyard, keys, bag strap, coat zip, pencil case, ID holder

• Some links may open in your browser/app depending on your phone and installed apps.

• Tip: tap the back of the phone near the top for the best scan. Very thick cases or metal phone backs can affect scanning — try without the case if needed.

Phone compatibility

• Works with most modern smartphones with NFC enabled (iPhone and Android).

• Your phone may need to be unlocked to use it.

• If NFC is turned off in settings, the tag won’t open until it’s enabled.

• This isn’t GPS tracking — it only works when someone taps it with a phone.

Privacy note (quick but important)

Anyone with physical access to the tag can tap it, so keep your setup sensible. Avoid storing anything you wouldn’t want a stranger to access.
