Our Story

Do you know that feeling? - The feeling that you have made another person really, truly, unexpectedly happy ?

If you don't know it, you should definitely try it. There are few things as delicious as the feeling that another human being is passionately grateful to you.

But let's start at the beginning.

Nobody wants to lose their stuff.

The thing is, though: we're human beings, we lose stuff. Every second, thousands of people lose something they didn't want to lose.

Of course we can provide everything we love with a tracking device . But in the hands of a dishonest finder, such a thing is quickly removed, or disabled. And we all know: the smarter the technology, the more shameless the crook.

So, we at Thnx say: we need to think the other way around.

The best safety technology this planet has ever seen is built into people - or at least, almost all people.

That system is called "honesty.

The math is actually quite simple, if you want to know where the greatest chance lies, to get your precious belongings back.

There are simply many, many more honest finders on earth, than there are finders with bad intentions walking around. In fact: almost all people would love to make someone else happy, if they get the chance.

So that's what we at Thnx make sure of: that they get the chance.

We do that, with simple but clever 'tags'. This way every finder can, with the least possible effort, be a honest finder.

Just scan or make contact with your smartphone - and you'll know how to get anything marked 'Thnx' back to its owner. With our superior app, the owner has pre-set exactly what information is shared with you, the finder.

Our tags come in all shapes and sizes; suitable for your stuff, your luggage, your pet - we even make bracelets for your kids. You'll also come across our tags more and more 'built-in'. In your sunglasses for example, or in your phone case.

Our tags - everyone will understand that - are still no guarantee that you will get something back, when you have lost it.

But the odds do get a lot better.

With the added effect of making at least two people really, really, really happy.

Because the 'Thnx' of someone who is reunited with something precious that was lost - yes, we said it already: that makes you, inevitably, a little happier yourself.

Thnx for your honesty
