Stick a small QR code on the things you love. If one ever gets lost, whoever finds it scans the code and sends you a message. It comes home.
Press a sticker onto anything you'd hate to lose. Scan it once with your phone camera to link your email — that's the whole setup.
It happens to everyone — left in a jeepney, a café, a classroom. Your sticker waits quietly. No battery to die, nothing to charge.
A finder scans the code and writes to you — it lands in your email. Reply, agree on a spot, and welcome it home.
Trackers are great — for the one bag you're afraid of losing at the airport. WayBack is for the water bottle, the umbrella, the charger, the jacket — everything you didn't think was worth ₱1,500 to protect, until it was gone.
WayBack comes from Batanes, where honesty stores run with no cashier — you take what you need and leave your payment in a box. It works because people are good.
That's the whole idea behind WayBack: most people who find your things want to return them. We just make it easy for them to reach you.
The sticker shows no name, no number, no address. A finder's message reaches your email through WayBack — you reply when you're ready, and share only what you choose.
Too cheap for a tracker, too loved to lose. That’s WayBack territory.
No. Registering and finding both happen in the phone browser. Any camera app that reads QR codes — which is all of them — works.
A page that says the item is loved and missed, with a message box. They never see your name, email, or number — messages reach you through WayBack’s relay.
After checkout you get a QR Ph code — scan it with GCash, Maya, or any bank app. Nothing is charged until you pay, and your pack ships once it goes through.
No electronics at all. It’s a vinyl sticker with a unique QR code. Nothing to charge, nothing tracking you in your bag.
Yes. Matte waterproof vinyl with a scratch-resistant laminate. Tumblers, bikes, and umbrella handles are its natural habitat.
Then it’s no worse than any lost item — but in our pilot, most scans happened within a day. People are better than we give them credit for.
