NFC tags · no app required to read
When you can't speak,
your tag does.
One tap tells a paramedic your blood type, helps a lost child get home, returns your bag, or hands a client your contact card — instantly, on any phone, without anyone installing anything.
NFC, explained without the jargon.
NFC stands for Near-Field Communication — the same short-range wireless tech already inside every modern smartphone for contactless card payments. A Scan Me tag uses that same chip to store information you choose. No battery, no signal, no subscription.
You write it once
Open the Scan Me app, pick a tag type — Save Me, ICE, Pet, Business Card, whatever fits — and fill in only what you want shared. Tap your phone to the tag to save it.
→ Takes under a minuteAnyone can read it
A paramedic, a stranger, a new contact — they just tap their phone against the tag. No app to download, no account, no internet required. The information appears instantly.
→ Works on any modern smartphone Find your phone's NFC sweet spot →You stay in control
Nothing is stored on our servers. Your information lives only on the physical tag in your pocket, on your wristband, or on your bag — and you can rewrite it any time.
→ One payment. No subscription. R100 incl. VATThe other person never needs to install anything.
That's the part that makes this actually useful in an emergency — or in any moment where a stranger is the one who needs the information, not you.
No app to read it
Any NFC-enabled phone can read a tag using its own built-in tap-to-read feature. Nothing to download under pressure.
No signal needed
NFC works entirely offline, phone to tag. No data, no Wi-Fi, no load shedding excuse.
No subscription
R100 once, including VAT. No monthly fee, no renewal, no surprise charge a year from now.
Nothing stored by us
Your data lives on the tag you're holding, not on a server. You write it, you can change it, you can erase it.
