Psst… want some company?

A way to reach
your family.

A way to reach you.

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.

A little different.
A lot of heart.
Most otters are brown. Kin is indigo. He thinks that is a perfectly good colour for an otter. He loves muddy slides, funny-shaped stones, and inviting one more friend along. Sometimes he needs a helping paw, too.
A little colour. A little time together.

A few things
grown-ups ask.
What does a KinTag do?
An activated KinTag opens a contact page when someone holds a compatible phone near it. They can use the details you chose to share to contact you.
Does it track my child?
No. A KinTag is not a GPS tracker. It has no battery and does not report a location.
Which phones can tap it?
A compatible NFC phone can read the tag. Phone model and settings matter; our How it works page and tap help explain where to start.
Does the phone need internet?
Yes. The phone opening the contact page needs an internet connection. No app download is required.
How do I set it up?
Open your tag with a compatible phone and follow its activation instructions. If your order includes an activation code, keep it handy. A grown-up manages the contact details.
What can other people see?
Contact details you choose to share are visible to someone who opens the tag’s page. Only add information you are comfortable sharing.
Can I change the details?
Yes. Sign in to manage your tags and update their contact details.
What if a tag is lost?
Contact our support team for help with a lost tag and the replacement options for your order.
What does it cost?
Current tag plans are $1/month, $10/year, or $25 for life, in CAD. Check the order page for setup, accessories and the full total.
