AirTags are, without a doubt, one of Apple’s most successful products in recent years. This is because they are incredibly useful, and for an Apple product, relatively “cheap”. It gives you peace of mind of knowing where your keys, wallet or backpack are located at all times.
But what if you want a cheaper alternative? Fortunately, the market is full of options, and one of the most interesting ones comes from Ugreen, a brand known for its electronic accessories of all kinds.

This is the Ugreen smart tag, a locator that, with 11/11 AliExpress deals and the code AEES03, costs a ridiculous 15 euros. Best of all, even if you’re not an iPhone user, you can tap into Apple’s massive network to find your stuff.
You can buy it in packages containing one unit or multiple units, whichever you prefer, depending on how many devices you want to track in your daily life.
Compatible with the Apple network, but for a lot less money
The Ugreen smart tag is a small device, available in keychain format. Its operation is very simple. The device constantly emits a Bluetooth Low Energy signal Which can be detected by any iPhone, iPad or Mac that passes nearby.
When this happens, your Apple device anonymously and securely sends the smart tag’s location to Apple’s servers, and you can see it on a map through the Apple Find My app.
It’s as if hundreds of millions of Apple devices around the world are working for you, creating a global search network.
The most interesting thing about the Ugreen Smart Tag is that it has received the official MFi certification – Made for iPhone – from Apple, which ensures perfect and secure integration with the “Search” network.
You do not need to install any third-party applications; Just add it to the Search app on your Apple device, give it a name, and that’s it.
From that moment on, you can see its location on the map, make it beep to find it if it’s nearby, or put it in “Lost Mode” to notify you when it’s located and show a message to the person who finds it.
The device is well thought out. The keychain model comes with a silicone case to protect it and to be able to easily hang it from your keys or the zipper of your backpack.
It uses a CR2032 button battery like those used in watches, which gives it an autonomy of up to 12 months, and when it runs out you can replace it yourself. Plus, it has a small speaker that emits a fairly powerful sound – up to 80dB – so you can locate it by sound.
Ugreen has also thought about privacy and security. The system is designed so that only you can see the location of your smart tag. To prevent anyone from using one of these devices to track you without your consent, your iPhone will notify you if it detects an unknown smart tag following you.
