No App Needed

itemID is a web-based service. Everything works directly in your browser โ€” on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Why No App?

  • No download required โ€” Get started instantly
  • Always up to date โ€” No manual updates
  • Works everywhere โ€” Any device with a browser
  • No storage used โ€” Nothing to install

For Finders

When someone finds your lost item, they just scan the QR code with their phone's camera. The item page opens automatically in their browser. No app installation required โ€” for you or for them.

Home Screen Access

If you use itemID frequently, you can add it to your home screen:

  1. Open itemid.io in your mobile browser
  2. Tap "Share" (iOS) or menu (Android)
  3. Select "Add to Home Screen"

This creates an app-like icon for quick access.
