Put a PHQR sticker on your laptop, phone case, water bottle or hard-shell luggage.
- 2
Claim it with one scan
Scan it with your phone camera, give it a name and a photo. About a minute.

Get it back
Whoever finds it scans the sticker and messages you in a private chat. They never see your number or email.
Why PHQR
Private by design
Finders message you through PHQR. They never see your number, email or address, and you choose what they do see.
Text alerts and replies
A text the moment a sticker is scanned. Reply to the text and it lands in the finder's chat.
No app needed
Finders scan with their phone camera, or type the code at phqr.org. Nothing to install, no subscription.

Questions?
The short answers people ask for most. Everything else is in the FAQ.
How does PHQR work?
Put a PHQR sticker on something you might lose and claim it with one scan of your phone camera. If someone finds it, they scan the sticker and message you in a private chat. You get a text right away, and you can reply.
What does the finder see? Can they see my phone number?
No, never. The finder sees your first name, the item's name and, if you add them, a photo and a note such as where to leave it. They never see your phone number, email or address, and you never see theirs.
Do finders need an app?
No. Finders scan the sticker with their phone camera and the chat opens in the browser. No app and no account. If they would rather not scan, they can type the code printed on the sticker at phqr.org.
What comes in a sheet? How much does it cost?
A sheet has 20 stickers for $25. Each extra sheet is 5% off, $23.75, up to 5 sheets per order. Need more? Email [email protected]. You pay once: there is no subscription.
Is there a limit on texts?
Text alerts and replies are included. To prevent abuse, accounts are limited to about 300 texts a month, far more than normal use.
