What is Thingy
Thingy is an innovative smart labeling solution that combines physical NFC tags with a dedicated mobile application to help people keep track of their belongings.

The system consists of various types of NFC tags (basic stickers, metal-compatible stickers, and washable button tags) that can be attached to different surfaces and items, paired with a user-friendly mobile app that works on both iOS and Android devices.
