There’s a robust ecosystem of Find My accessories on the market nowadays. All of these accessories would make great additions to your life. After all, what’s a better investment than a way to keep track of their most important possessions?

As a refresher, Find My accessories broadcast a low-energy Bluetooth signal picked up by nearby Apple devices. They do not rely on GPS technology. Instead, that location is transmitted securely and privately to the Find My network. This means that your Find My-enabled item is locatable even if you are miles away, so long as someone with an Apple device happens to be nearby.

iOS 18.2, released in December, further upgraded the Find My network with a new system for sharing item locations.

AirTag

You can’t have a list of the best Find My accessories without including Apple’s AirTags. Packed with a U1 chip for Precision Finding support, a built-in speaker, and more, AirTags are a must-have for attaching to your luggage, backpack, keys, and other accessories.

AirTags have also improved significantly since they were first released in April 2021. Apple has added new anti-stalking features, upgraded notification alerts, and more.

AirTags are not without their faults as they only come in one form factor, lack a built-in attachment mechanism, and are nearly four years old. Still, they represent the best way to start with the Find My ecosystem.

Chipolo’s Find My ecosystem

While Apple’s AirTag is available in a single form factor, Chipolo makes two different trackers that are fully compatible with Apple’s Find My ecosystem. This means you can add them to the Find My app and track them alongside your Apple products. They can also tap into the Find My ecosystem of Apple devices and AirTags to share the most up-to-date location information.

SwitchBot Wallet Finder

My colleague Benjamin Mayo just reviewed the SwitchBot Wallet Finder and described it as an “incredibly useful accessory to track your wallet” using your iPhone and the Find My ecosystem. In addition to being shaped like a credit card to slide into your wallet, it all features a built-in keyring holder. This makes it easy to attach to something like a lanyard or backpack.

Pebblebee’s Find My Ecosystem

Another card-shaped option for the Find My network is the Pebblebee Tracker Card. The key differentiator with this one is that the battery is rechargeable. The aforementioned options from Chipolo and SwitchBot do not feature rechargeable or replaceable batteries. The Pebblebee Tracker Card offers up to 18 months of battery life and can then be recharged with a USB-C cable.

In addition to the Tracker Card, Pebblebee also sells two other Find My-enabled accessories. The Pebblebee Clip is a small tracker that is similar to the AirTag form factor but with a built-in keyring holder. It features up to 12 months of battery life and can then be recharged using a USB-C cable.

Finally, there’s the Pebblebee Tracker Universal Tag with Find My integration. This offers an ultra-small form factor with up to 8 months of battery life and a USB-C port for charging.

Backpacks with Find My

While I generally recommend buying a standalone Find My tracker, there are backpacks on the market that directly integrate Find My. Both Swissdigital and Hyper offer backpacks with Find My integration.

Twelve South PlugBug

If you’re a traveler, Twelve South has one of the more interesting implementations of Find My that I’ve seen. The Twelve South PlugBug is a USB-C fast-charging brick that integrates with Find My. This means you’ll never lose your charger again.

The Twelve South PlugBug is available in two different versions and can be ordered on Amazon.

While accessories from Apple, Chipolo, Pebblebee, and SwitchBot are my top picks, there are other Find My-enabled options on the market.
