24 alternatives to PuppySignal, an open-source QR Tag for your pets

A few years ago, I started working on a side-project just for my own use: a QR Tag for my pets. I decided to open-source it for anyone who might find it useful. The functionality is pretty simple: when you log in, you create a profile for your pet, and a QR code will be generated and linked to its profile. When someone scans this code and decides to share your pet's location, you will receive a notification on your phone with your pet's location, and the person who scanned it will see your contact information.

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. PuppySignal, an open-source QR Tag for your pets launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

I open sourced the QR designer from my failed startup▲711
My designer is somewhat special, if I do say so myself, as it allows you to put arbitrary designs in the middle area of the QR while still being totally scannable.
