Help shouldn’t need an app.
A KinTag is a small, no-battery tag anyone can tap to instantly see who you are and who to call. Just a way back to the people who matter.
Designed by a family. Made in small batches in Utah.

A tracker tells you where a thing is.
A KinTag helps a person get home.
No app
Any phone can tap it. Nothing to download.
No battery
It never dies, never charges, never expires.
No tracking
It can’t follow anyone. It only helps when tapped.
Three situations, one tag.
The tag is the same in every case. What changes is what you put on it, and who you are hoping will read it.
Autism
For kids and adults who wander, or who cannot explain who they are to a stranger — especially when they are frightened.

Alzheimer’s & dementia
For adults who go out and can’t find their way back — and for the family who cannot be watching every door, all night, forever.

Severe allergies
For the times your child is with someone who doesn’t know the details — a sitter, a birthday party, a coach, a substitute teacher.
Read more →How it works
Three steps. That’s the whole plan.
Pick pre-programmed or blank
Pre-programmed ships ready to tap — enter the contact info at checkout, takes two minutes. Or choose non-programmed and set it up yourself later, for less.
We mail it
Pre-programmed tags ship ready to go. Non-programmed tags ship blank — a quick tap once it arrives is all it takes to activate.
Clip it on. Done.
No battery to charge, nothing else to set up. The moment someone taps it, they reach the number you chose — today or five years from now.

Why is there a plan?
A KinTag isn’t static identification. Your information stays live and can be updated whenever life changes. If your tag is lost, it can be deactivated, helping keep your information in the right hands.
Your plan keeps that connection available when it matters.
Your first payment is charged together with your order.
See it work
One tap. That’s the whole thing.
No app to install, nothing to pair, nothing to charge. Someone holds their phone to the tag and your contact page opens.
Filmed on a phone, not in a studio.
See how it works
Five short videos. No script, no studio.
Real hands, real tags — exactly how a KinTag attaches, sets up, and holds up.
What it actually looks like
Set it up in a minute. Change it whenever life changes.
No app to download and nothing to charge. A tag is a web page only you can edit — and a tap is all it takes for someone to reach you.
Activate before use
Make this tag ready to help.
Attach it to a loved one, their bag, or their jacket. If someone finds them, a tap can help them reach you.

Any time after
Yours to change
Sign in, edit, done. The tag never changes — the information behind it does, the moment you save it.
The tag stays the same. What it says is up to you.
Everything behind the tag can be changed from your dashboard whenever you need it, and it’s live the moment you save. Heading away for a week? Add where you’re staying and which number to try first. Back home? Take it off again. New medication, a new caregiver, a phone number that changed — same two minutes.
And none of it is required. A name and one phone number is a complete, working tag. Add only what matters for your situation — the person who finds them sees exactly that, and nothing else.
Yours to fill in, or not
Only a name and a phone number are needed. Everything else is optional, and can be added or removed at any time.
Made in the USA
There’s no company behind this. There’s a family.
Next to Kin isn’t a corporation with a warehouse and a call center. It’s a family business — the same people who designed this tag are the people who answer your email.
Every KinTag is printed in small batches right here in Utah. And when something goes wrong, you’re not opening a ticket and waiting. You’re talking to us.

Why we built this
This is Piper.
My niece — and part of the reason the KinTag exists. Watching my sister carry the fear that comes with loving someone who depends on others to help her get found is what turned this from an idea into something we had to build.
Let’s get your safety net started.
