Smart Tags

Tap your iPhone to a Smart Tag to instantly trigger an action

(...or 3 actions... or 5 actions), like:

✔️ Log a task
✔️ Start a routine
✔️ Text someone
✔️ Set the next reminder
✔️ Open an app
✔️ Turn on a playlist
✔️ Turn off lights

(sooo many more examples!)

HOW IT WORKS:

Each tag has its own unique ID, like a nickname your phone recognizes.

If you follow the instructions in the package, when your phone taps the tag, it knows exactly which automation to run. You’re simply telling your phone:

“When I tap this tag, do this.”

No app searching.
No remembering.
No “I’ll do it in a second.”

You tap. Your phone handles it, based on what you told it to do.

What’s Included

Each kit includes 20 Smart Tags stored in a sexy clear acrylic case. It's giving an AirPods-vibe.

• 15 Smart Tags feature helpful designs to inspire common automations like routines, reminders, and home triggers.
• 5 Smart Tags are blank (plain white) so you can label and customize them however you want.
• 2-minute setup guide that you can either read with your eyeballs or scan the QR code to watch/listen.
• Access to a Download-Library where you can grab built-for-you Shortcuts that you can add to your own Automations.
• 🎁 FREE MONTH with your own Shelpful AI Task Manager, which you can use in automations (not required, but it's an awesome experience).

The Smart Tags come in a clear acrylic snap case that:

• keeps everything organized

• is easy to spot in a junk drawer or on a messy desk

• snaps shut to keep your tags safe until your next automation idea strikes

Each tag is 30mm in diameter — about 25% larger than a quarter — making them easy to scan with your device.

Technical Details

No Batteries Needed

Shelpful Smart Tags are passive, meaning they don’t require a battery. When your phone gets close, it briefly powers the tag using a small electromagnetic field.

Chip Type

NXP NTAG215

The "insides" of each Shelpful Smart Tag. We chose this chip because it’s reliable, widely supported by automation apps (including Apple Shortcuts), and manufactured by NXP — a global leader in NFC technology used in contactless systems like transit cards, hotel keys, and payment cards.
