Community Lost & Found Network

Lost something?
Someone probably found it.

Safe Finder is a free lost & found platform for Kenya. Report what you've lost or found in under a minute, let AI scan for a match automatically, then message safely in-app to arrange the handover.

Reporting a found item is always free — no card, no catch.

Lost item left unclaimed at a front desk

Lost & found today is scattered and slow.

A lost phone ends up in a WhatsApp group nobody checks. A found wallet sits in a drawer at a security desk with no searchable record. Nobody gets notified when a match is sitting right there.

Buried in WhatsApp groups

Lost & found posts scroll past in seconds and are impossible to search later.

No searchable record

Front desks log found items on paper or spreadsheets nobody outside the building can see.

Nothing proactive

Even when a match exists, nobody's notified — you'd have to stumble onto it yourself.

Three steps. Under two minutes.

No account approval, no waiting period — report and search right away.

1

Report it

Add a title, description, category, and location — lost or found. Attach a photo if you have one. Takes under a minute.

2

AI scans for a match

Every new report is automatically compared against existing ones. A strong match notifies both sides right away.

3

Message & arrange pickup

Chat safely inside the app, verify the claim, and agree on where to meet — no phone number required.

Everything a good lost & found needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

AI-powered matching

Every report is automatically scored against existing ones for likely matches — comparing descriptions, categories, and context, not just keywords.

Location search & heatmap

Search by area and radius, or browse a hotspot map to see where items are most often lost and found near you.

Saved search alerts

Save a search for what you've lost and get notified the moment something matching turns up — no need to keep checking back.

Badges & leaderboard

Returning items earns points, badges, and a spot on the community leaderboard — a little recognition for doing the right thing.

QR drop-off boxes

Venues can set up physical drop-off points with a scannable code, so found items get logged the moment they're handed in.

Trust & safety built in

Claim verification before contact details are shared, in-app messaging, and a flagging system to keep the community honest.

Turn your front desk into a lost & found system — free.

Register your venue in minutes. Your team gets a branded public page, a QR code for signage, and tools staff actually want to use.

Self-serve registration

No approval queue — register your venue and you're the admin immediately. Add your logo, contact details, and location.

Quick-add for front desk staff

A fast, collapsed form built for logging a found item in seconds between other tasks — no training required.

Your own branded landing page

A public page at your venue's own link with "Report lost" and "Report found" pre-filled to your location — put the QR code on a banner at your entrance.

Staff accounts & invites

Invite staff by email with role-based access — front desk, back office, or admin. They're added automatically once they sign up.

Analytics on Growth

See item volume, claim rates, and a location hotspot map for your venue — helps justify budget for better signage or staffing.

Bulk import & export

Already tracking items in a spreadsheet? Import it in one go on Growth, or export anytime for your own records — always free.

Questions we hear all the time

Is Safe Finder really free?
Yes. Reporting a lost or found item is always free, for everyone. Venues can also register and onboard for free. Paid Growth and Enterprise plans exist for venues that want extra staff seats, bulk import, and analytics — but the core reporting experience never requires payment.
How does the AI matching work?
When you report an item, Safe Finder automatically compares it against existing reports and scores how likely they describe the same thing — looking at descriptions, categories, and context, not just matching keywords. Strong matches notify both people.
Can my mall, airport, or hotel use this?
Yes — venue registration is self-serve and free. You get a branded public landing page, a QR code for signage at your entrance, staff accounts with role-based access, and a quick-add tool for logging found items in seconds.
Is my information safe?
Exact item locations aren't shown publicly — only approximate areas. Claims go through a verification step before contact details are exchanged, and messaging happens inside the app so you never have to share your phone number to arrange a pickup.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Safe Finder works entirely in your phone or computer's browser — open lostnfound.safehouse.co.ke, report or search, and you're done. No app store required.
What happens when there's a match?
Both people get notified. From there you can review the match, start a claim, chat safely inside the app to confirm details, and agree on where to meet — without ever needing to exchange a phone number.
Free — for people and venues
