Rolling Square introduced two new Bluetooth finder tags: the 'AirCard Pro' and the 'AirNotch Pro,' designed to track wallets and keychains respectively. The AirCard Pro features wireless charging and an integrated digital ID, while the AirNotch Pro includes photoluminescent inserts and replaceable batteries, both offering omnidirectional buzzers for louder alerts.
Both devices prioritized durability and cross-platform compatibility: the AirCard Pro is a credit-card–thin, epoxy-fiberglass and aluminum wallet tag with a 220mAh battery and 12-month life, and the AirNotch Pro is an IP68-rated key tag using CNC-machined aluminum, two CR2032 cells and up to 20 months of runtime.
For consumers, these tags deliver practical upgrades over single-platform trackers by combining louder, 360-degree sound, built-for-life construction and Android plus Apple network support. They matter for anyone who wants more resilient, feature-rich tracking that works across ecosystems.
