Your phone number and email stay off the public page while finders can still reach you through Backmate.
Owner recovery system
Backmate
Private recovery tags for bags, keys, and everyday carry.
Attach a Backmate tag to the things you do not want to lose. If someone finds them, they can open a secure recovery page and message you without seeing your personal contact details.
QR-ready recovery pages
Owner details stay hidden
Finder messages route privately
What owners get
A calmer way to get important items back.
02
Guided recovery pages
Each tag opens a simple page that explains the item status, safety expectations, and next step for the finder.
03
Owner workspace
Manage tagged items, review finder messages, and keep recovery details current from one dashboard.
04
Abuse reporting
Finders can report suspicious tags or unsafe requests, giving the recovery flow a clear safety path.
How it works
Set up once, recover without sharing everything.
Backmate keeps the recovery path short for honest finders while giving owners control over every tagged item.
01
Tag the item
Register a QR tag, choose the public item details, and decide whether the tag is active, lost, disabled, or unclaimed.
02
A finder scans
The public page explains what was found and lets the finder send a message without creating an account.
03
You receive the message
Backmate passes the finder message to the owner so the return can be arranged privately and safely.
Trust model
Built for helpful finders and cautious owners.
A good recovery page should invite honest help without publishing permanent personal details. Backmate keeps the exchange focused on the item and gives both sides basic safety controls.
No public owner phone number or email
No finder account or payment required
Owner-controlled item status for every tag
Clear reporting path for suspicious pages
Give every important item a private way home.
Start with an owner account, then register tags for the things you want protected.
