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

This Car 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

Some phones may ask you to tap a prompt or press call — that’s normal.

Link ideas (if you choose the link option)

A calming playlist (or a track link if you prefer)

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 people set theirs up

Emergency contact (tap to call)

Directions home / school / a safe place

A link they want fast access to (calming playlist, bus/train info, school website, important form, socials)

What we need from you

Choose your option and add the number, address, or link at checkout – we programme it before shipping.

For Save Contact, add the name + number (and email if you want).

Need to change it later? We can reprogramme it for you (return service) — you just cover postage.

Real-life scenarios

ADHD teen + dead phone + school pickup

Action: Tap to Call Mum

Scenario: Phone is dead at the end of the day. They tap the tag on a friend’s phone to call Mum and sort pickup.

Dementia support + out and about

Action: Tap to Call Daughter

Scenario: Grandma gets confused while out. A kind stranger taps the tag and can call family immediately.

SEN child + school change of plan

Action: Tap to Call Parent/Carer

Scenario: After-school club has a change or child is distressed. Staff can call the right adult without guessing.

Supported adult + community outing

Action: Tap to Call Support Worker / Home Base

Scenario: They wander off or get separated. Anyone helping can call the support team quickly.

Lost and disoriented (ND adult or teen)

Action: Tap for Directions Home

Scenario: Brain fog in a new area. Tap opens directions home without typing or finding saved places.

Travel days (train stations / airports)

Action: Tap for Directions to Hotel/Home OR Tap to Call Travel Buddy

Scenario: You’ve arrived, you’re overloaded, and decision-making is gone. Tap gives you a straight route or a quick call.

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.
