"What if there was a super-loud finder tag that had a built-in loop for attaching to a keychain, and a battery that can be recharged using USB-C. That sounds great, right? Also: I tucked a stealthy $15 tracker into my favorite jacket - now I no longer travel without it That's exactly what the Chipolo Loop offers. But there are some gotchas to bear in mind."
"so it's compatible with hundreds of millions of smartphones out there, allowing you to find your lost items no matter where you are (which is handy when you leave your keys in a random riad in Marrakech... speaking from experience). So, how does the Loop differ from an AirTag? First, the battery is rechargeable, and when it needs topping up -- every six months or so -- you can use any handy USB-C cable."
Chipolo Loop connects to Apple Find My and Google Find Hub Device networks, enabling location through hundreds of millions of smartphones. The device features a built-in silicone loop for direct attachment to keyrings, bags, or pets and a rechargeable USB-C battery that typically lasts about six months between charges. The onboard speaker reaches 115 dB, substantially louder than AirTag's 60 dB, improving the ability to locate items in cushions or noisy environments. The silicone loop is durable but non-replaceable if damaged. The Chipolo app adds phone-ringing, Android-only out-of-range alerts, ringtone changes, and remote functions for convenience.
