The problem
You’ve lost something. A stranger found it. Now what?
Most lost & found solutions force you to choose between exposure and effort. GoFound was built to refuse that tradeoff.
$30 device + subscription.
Battery dies. Only works nearby. Doesn’t help when a stranger picks it up.
Scan → consent → notified.
QR scan. Finder consents. You get a push instantly. No exposure. No batteries.
How it works
Three steps. Zero friction.
From sticker to recovery in minutes — for both you and the person who finds your stuff.
Generate your QR
Create a unique QR in the app. Attach it to anything — keychain, bag, passport, pet collar, laptop.
Finder scans, consents
Finder scans with any camera. A friendly consent screen appears. They choose what to share — location, message, or both. Zero sign-up.
You get notified instantly
Push notification fires to your phone with location and an anonymous message. Respond via encrypted in-app chat.

Features
Built different. By design.
The trust mechanics, not just the tech. Every feature reinforces the same idea: nobody’s data gets exposed without permission.
Finder Consent Flow.
The only one of its kind.
The only app in the world that asks the finder for permission before sharing anything. GDPR-compliant. Trust-building. No dark patterns.
Zero Personal Info Exposure
Your name, phone, email — never shown to anyone. QR maps to an encrypted token only.
Instant GPS Push
Real-time push the moment your item is scanned, with the finder’s shared location.
Anonymous Two-Way Chat
Coordinate the return through encrypted chat. No phone numbers, no email addresses, no social handles exchanged. The conversation closes automatically when the item is recovered.
Works on Any Camera
The finder needs zero downloads. A pure browser PWA experience.
Manage Unlimited Items
Keychains, bags, laptops, pet collars, passports. One dashboard.
Compared to alternatives
How GoFound stacks up.
The honest version. Other apps do parts of this well — none of them tie privacy and consent together by default.
