When Apple Airtags came out, I bet a lot of you were thinking, “this will be a great way to track my pet if it gets lost.” While adding a $29 AirTag is better than nothing, and AirTag collars already exist, they only work if an Apple device is nearby. Whether you have an inkjet printer plugged into your Mac, a laser printer plugged into your router, or even a network printer, if your Mac can print to it, Printopia will share it.
You may add unlimited virtual printers to save print-outs to your Mac as PDF files. That’s why Apple doesn’t recommend using AirTags for pets (or kids!) The same goes for Tile trackers, which rely on the app on people’s phones nearby. Printopia is an application that can help you print from your iPhone or iPad. I’ve had a Fi on our escape-artist Husky for a year now, and it’s already found her twice in the woods where AirTags won’t work. Note: Fi is $100 off at $50 for Black Fridayĩto5Mac‘s Zac Hall reviewed the Fi collar last year, and for the safety of our pup, it seemed like a no-brainer. They’ve really thought of everything here.
I recently picked up the second generation of the Fi tracker.įrom a hardware perspective, Fi uses GPS Tracking and LTE data and sends location data to your iPhone or Android app. There’s a small unit built into the collar, which also has a light for night searching and can even be activated for seeing the dog at night in a bunch of RGB colors. The collar comes in four sizes, and there are a ton of collar/material/size options available in the Fi accessory store. To check if you have an AirPrint printer, or to find one to buy, check out.
