Cameras, instruments, tools — anything worth tagging.

Stick a ShieldTag on the gear you carry between places — a camera bag, an instrument case, a toolbox — so whoever finds it can reach you directly, without your number ever showing.

Gear protected by a ShieldTag

Best on a camera bag, instrument case, or toolbox — gear that leaves your hands between gigs and jobs.

How it works

  1. 1

    Stick the tag

    Put it on your case, bag, or box. Takes a minute, no setup until it’s scanned.

  2. 2

    Someone finds it

    A venue, a studio, a stranger — anyone can scan it and send a message.

  3. 3

    You get the message

    It lands as a text. Reply if you want — your number stays hidden on both ends.

What's live today

  • Anonymous two-way relay — your number is never shown, on either end
  • Photo messages once your tag is on a paid plan
  • Approval-gated contact + masked video calling on Plus
"A venue tech scanned the case and had it back to me before soundcheck."

Questions

Does the tag track my gear’s location?

No — ShieldTag has no GPS. It only works when a person finds your gear and scans the tag.

Is my phone number ever visible?

No. Messages relay through ShieldTag in both directions — your number is never shown.

What does it cost?

Anonymous messaging is free, forever. A physical tag is a one-time purchase from $6.99; paid plans add photos and more starting at $1.99/mo.

  • ShieldTag has no GPS tracking — it only relays a message when someone finds and scans the tag.
