Are you plagued with butter fingers? Clumsy digits? Do you find that those really important things like your keys, mobile phone and tamagotchi have a regular habit of disappearing from your clutches?
We all know what it’s like to put that highly important thing down for just one minute, only to find that it has mysteriously vanished. The universe sure works in mysterious ways, so who are we to argue when a strange and powerful force makes the decision to relocate our possessions? Ok, so it was probably our fault that it’s gone missing, but that won’t stop us from getting all huffed up and blaming any other person within huffing distance.
In order to help avoid those moments of frustration, some clever tech boffins have got a solution in the form of the clever little Tile.
You may have heard of the Tile before. Tile is a super simple piece of tech that will stop you from ever losing anything ever again. Well, except your marbles, they haven’t worked that one out yet… The device consists of a physical “Tile”, and an application for your smartphone (Android and iOS only) which keeps tabs on the Tile’s location via Bluetooth connectivity and a clever community tracking feature.
Latest Singletrack Merch
Buying and wearing our sustainable merch is another great way to support Singletrack
The Tile range currently consists of the Tile Slim, which is super thin (slimmer than an After Eight, but not quite as tasty) for use in wallets and other tight spots. And then there’s the Tile Mate, which is smaller and doubles up as a keyring. Both versions of the Tile are super versatile and can be used to track drones, pets, or even your bike!
To celebrate the launch of the Singletrack Partner Zone this week, Tile has sent over a landslide’s worth of Tiles (forty of them in total), which we will be giving away entirely free to our subscribers. If you would like to be in for a chance of getting your very own Tile simply complete the steps below:
- First of all, if you’re not already a subscriber sign up here
- Once logged in, head to the comments section at the bottom of this post and tell us exactly what you would use your Tile to track (be sensible or silly, it’s all good)
- We will choose the best forty comments on Tuesday the 8th November and will send out either a Tile Slim or Tile Mate for FREE
- When you receive your Tile we then ask you to share a photo of it in use on Instagram with the tags @Singletrackmag and @tiledit
And BOOM! That’s it!
Before entering the competition, please keep in mind that we will be sharing your email address with Tile and they may contact you regarding your user experience and ask for feedback.
You can learn more about Tile in their showcase in the Singletrack Partner Zone.
I would, of course, purchase more tiles to do the whole en-suite bathroom.
I’d be using one of these to track my 2 year old son’s shoes. He hid it the other day and is now wearing wellies until we can find it again!
I would attach it to my reading glasses, not sure if it would look silly, but I am always losing them.
This may be something age related that a tile will not be able to help though!
I’d leave a Tile with my marbles. They get lost from time to time and they’re pretty tricky to find.
I’d attach it to my mates wallet as he never seems to have it available when it’s his round.
I would attache this to my dog, ruddy thing keeps going out through the cat flap and playing in the park outside our house.
Wish I’d used a tile on the bike that muggers took off one of my children yesterday.
I already use a Tile to make it easy to find my children’s house keys when they ‘have looked everywhere’. The Tile tune can then usually be heard coming from one of their bags or a coat pocket.
I would attach the tile to my Singletrack Hip-flask, as I can never find the thing whilst rush about for a night ride. Maybe attach a second to the single malt, to where it keeps disappearing…….
I would attach the tile to my Singletrack Hip-flask, as I can never find the thing whilst rushing about to get ready for a night ride. Maybe attach a second to the single malt, to find out where it keeps disappearing too…….
I would use it to track my wife
@mobes I wondered how long it would take before someone said that…
Knock Knock
Who’s there
Tile
Tile Who
“tile me” where to find my key I can’t seem to find the darn thing
I expect my wife would put it on me!
I would track my crazy Springer Spaniel that often disappears at the most inopportune moments!
Probably my pay slip. The contents of that seem to disappear far more easily than I’d like.
I’d attach it to my 6 year old son. When we go riding I’ll be able to avoid a great deal of stress when he goes ahead, then takes the wrong turn.
Clearly used to track our terrier….it’s getting cold and she has a habit of ducking into the undergrowth rather than walk!
Attach them to my wife’s keys so I can find them for her with less hassle than it takes now 🙂
Will get used at least 5 times a day until it dies!!!!
My tile would be on my wife’s keyring. So that I would not have to spend endless hours searching for keys that have taken up residence lurking in the black hole of her handbag.
I’d gaffa tape it to my hair to keep an eye on it. I’m sure it’s sneaking off somewhere. Hmmm, maybe gaffa tape on my thinning hair is a bad……..ah stuff it, gaffa away!
