MuTag helps you keep track of your stuff and reminds you not to forget essential items.

TL;DR: Keep track of all your random but important stuff with a 4-pack of Mu Tag loss prevention devices for an extra 15% off, making them just $118.99 as of March 23.

Keeping tabs on all your stuff these days can be tough. Because face it, we all just have a lot of important belongings: phones, keys, tablets, wallets, AirPods, chargers, reusable water bottles, cameras, and more chargers. It makes just the simple act of leaving the house a damn chore. Sure, you could put a giant flashing sign on your door, listing everything you need to take with you. But that would be silly. Instead, there’s an easier (and less tacky) solution: Mu Tag™, a super small loss-prevention device.

Before you write it off as another version of the Tile, listen up. Rather than tracking your stuff after losing it, the Mu Tag™ aims to prevent you from losing it altogether. Simply stick the teeny tiny electronic tag (which is only about a quarter of the competitor’s size) to stuff that matters most to you — from your purse to your keys to your bike — then download the Informu app and add the tags to your dashboard. And that’s basically it. The app will then notify you if you leave anything behind as you head out.

Rather than using GPS to figure out where the heck you left something, the Mu Tag™ relies on Bluetooth technology to create an invisible “leash.” Plus, the app actually ties into your calendar and smartly knows which tracked items you’ll need to remember for whatever activity or trip you have that day. For example, if it sees that you have a flight booked, it’ll remind you ahead of time to take your passport, luggage, and more.

It’s not hard to see why this small but mighty device earned a whopping $106,730 on Kickstarter (of its $25,000 goal). But in case you still don’t get it, here’s a video to show you its potential:

While it’s originally priced at $169, the Mu Tag™ four-pack is on sale for $139.99. Plus, if you use the code SPRINGSAVE15, you can grab it for just $118.99.
