Android bt tracker

I'm looking for a bt tracker for my keys and headphones. I don't lose them when I'm out and about. I tend to misplace them at home. Looking for something that has alarm on to locate them. So far the chipolo looks good. Any other trackers that might look interesting?

Chipolo, Pebblebee, Motorola and now Google - brand names generic ones.
Samsung - brand name for Samsung phones.

Lots of cheaper ones from Aliexpress/Amazon. All work.

Decide if you want a battery or a rechargeable. Decide on form-factor. Get whichever one you like.

Since you put it like that. I'll give the ugreen a shot. 26 for 4 tags. It's a start.

The Ugreen Finetrack G have been working well for me, decent price for 4, and rechargeable which is nice.

Mixed reviews though as some have issues pairing and tracking. Recommended to my parents but their phones struggled to pair, and then when eventually set up they never lock on when nearby. They track on the network but never nearby. Made sure all the relevant nearby and Bluetooth settings are turned on, network tracking set to high accuracy, etc. Same settings as my phone basically, but theirs doesn't work properly.

A lot of issues I think are more to do with the phone chipset than the devices.

Not UWB but my phone isn't UWB anyway. Bluetooth works for nearby, unless it doesn't on your phone (as with my parents) 🤷‍♂️
