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.
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’d tile my phone, I can never find it when I want it and spend valuable riding time hunting it down!
I’d attach it to my mates sense of humour, he’s always losing it the miserable git !
I’d attach one to my watch so I can keep track of time. No idea where it goes…
the charger cable for my garmin watch or my cash, no idea where it ends up
Teaspoons to follow where they all go. I still convinced there is a teaspoon conspiracy! Or if the metaphysical is possible I would tile my motivation to make it quicker to find and therefore have less procrastination and longer rides.
I’d attach it to my cats collar to find out which of our neighbors is feeding the greedy git.
I would have attached one to the bunch of keys we suspect the puppy has taken outside and drop in the garden somewhere.
Searching for them we’ve found a screwdriver, a slipper, a pair of socks, daughters pants and a hair brush. All the work of Hugo the lurcher.
I’d attach it to all the other singletrack competition entries I’ve sent in as they all seem to have been lost without trace.
I’d attach to my sex appeal as, according to my wife, I’m in danger of losing what little remains very soon.
i’d put one on the cat to see where she goes for days on end!
Thats easy – My 18th month old boys dummy! How he loses so many of the things whilst at the same time scream so enthusiastically commited when he cant find it in house/car/supermarket is beyond me…
I would you it to track myself, if I get lost, I would just see my phone where I am
the last remnants of my youth. I’m going to lose it soon and would like to be able to find it when i do.
Today I Lost Everything
Please help me not to do this again
My ability to suffer fools and not speak my mind…. At least that’s what my wife says I’m always losing
Nothing humorous – real life use would be to attach to the new family dachshund to keep track of her….
attach to work keys don’t want another “bill” for replacement set :o(
It would have to be time. Especially the time I just lost trying to think of a post worthy of getting in the top 40.
I’d use it to track where all my grey hair is coming from:-)
I’d attach one to my concentration. I should be working, not looking on here!
