Keysmart Smartcard, has made waves for an unexpected reason: it’s now compatible with Apple’s Find My network. The announcement came from the brand’s October 29 blog post on Mashable, where the company explained how the card lets you track your keys using the same infrastructure that powers AirTags, Apple Watch rings, and other Bluetooth‑enabled accessories.

What is the Keysmart Smartcard?

The Smartcard is a thin, rectangular key holder that fits easily onto a keychain. It’s built around the same 5‑inch design that made the original Keysmart organizer popular, but with a major upgrade: an embedded Bluetooth chip that communicates directly with Apple’s Find My network. The card is available in several color options—black, white, navy, and a limited‑edition “solar‑flare” shade—and it can hold between 8 and 12 keys depending on size and spacing.

Unlike the company’s older “Keysmart SmartKey,” which required a companion app, the Smartcard is a “plug‑and‑play” solution for iPhone users. Once you pair it with your phone’s Find My app, the card’s location is automatically shared with the Find My network. You no longer need to remember to open a separate tracker app, which is a key selling point for those who appreciate Apple’s integrated ecosystem.

How the Find My integration works

Apple’s Find My network is essentially a crowd‑sourced, global Bluetooth network that lets any iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch act as a passive receiver. When a device with a Bluetooth‑enabled tag (like an AirTag or, now, the Keysmart Smartcard) is out of range of its owner’s own device, nearby Apple devices detect the signal and securely send the tag’s location to Apple’s servers. The owner can then see the location in the Find My app and even request a sound to help locate the tag.

Keysmart’s Smartcard uses a small MFi‑certified chip that mimics the same protocol Apple uses for AirTags. This means the card can be tracked even if your phone is turned off, or if you’re on a Wi‑Fi‑only network. When you need to locate your keys, simply open the Find My app, tap “Items,” and your Smartcard will appear on the map, just like an AirTag.

The Find My integration also offers a “Lost Mode.” If you lose your keys and the Smartcard is somewhere in the world, you can enable Lost Mode and set a phone number so that anyone who finds the card can call you. Additionally, you can get an automatic email notification when the card’s location is updated.

Pairing and setup

The first time you bring the Smartcard into proximity of an iPhone, you’ll see a prompt that says “Add Item.” Tap the “Add” button, then follow the on‑screen instructions to name the card—anything from “House Keys” to “Car Keys” will do. Once paired, the card’s battery status and location will sync to the Find My app.

Because the Smartcard uses the same Apple‑approved chip, it does not require any third‑party app, making the setup process faster and more reliable. If you already use Keysmart’s older products, the Smartcard will not conflict with them, and you can keep using the Keysmart app for other items.

Battery life and durability

Keysmart claims that the Smartcard’s battery will last up to a year, depending on how often the device is queried by the Find My network. The card’s casing is made from a matte ABS material, giving it a robust feel that can withstand the wear and tear of everyday key usage. The manufacturer also offers a protective sleeve for the card, which can help guard against scratches or accidental drops.

Competitors and market context

The smart‑key market has been dominated for a while by Tile, Apple’s own AirTags, and a handful of niche brands. Tile’s trackers typically require the Tile app to view location, and they have historically been less integrated into iOS. AirTags are highly effective, but they are more expensive and do not come in a key‑holder form factor. The Keysmart Smartcard offers a compromise: a key‑friendly form factor with the same network connectivity as an AirTag, but at a lower price point.

Keysmart’s new product has also attracted attention for its emphasis on design and ease of use. The company’s website highlights a “no‑batteries‑required” philosophy, with the Smartcard’s chip powered by a long‑lasting lithium‑ion cell that can be easily replaced.

Practical use cases

• Travelers: Attach the Smartcard to a keychain that includes a passport holder and luggage tags. If you misplace your luggage or lose a set of keys at a hotel, the Find My app will tell you where the card is located.
• Commuters: Use the Smartcard on keys that are always on your desk or in your car. The Find My app will ping you if you leave the keys at home or forget them in the car.
• Families: Give each child a key‑holder that doubles as a tracker for their personal items—bike keys, backpack locks, or even a small wallet.

Pricing and availability

Keysmart’s website lists the Smartcard at $79.99 for the standard version, and $109.99 for the premium “solar‑flare” edition. Shipping is free within the United States for orders over $50. The product is currently available for pre‑order, with expected shipping in early December.

What’s next for Keysmart?

Keysmart’s announcement signals a broader trend: the convergence of key organization and IoT tracking. In a subsequent interview with Mashable’s tech correspondent, the company’s CEO hinted at a future line of “smart‑lock” accessories that would let you lock your house keys into a lockable keybox that’s also Find My‑enabled. The company also teased a potential integration with Apple’s HomeKit for future smart lock products.

Final thoughts

The Keysmart Smartcard’s ability to piggyback on Apple’s Find My network is a big win for iPhone users who want a simple, elegant way to keep track of their keys. By combining a sleek keyholder design with the reliability of Apple’s global network, Keysmart has created a product that fills a niche that was previously served by either high‑cost solutions (AirTags) or less integrated ones (Tile). Whether you’re a frequent traveler, a busy parent, or just someone who hates misplacing keys, the Smartcard offers a practical, tech‑savvy answer.
