Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.

One registry that protects buyers, sellers, and owners at every step.

  1. 1

    Report It Missing

    If your device is lost or stolen, tell us right away. We flag it everywhere so buyers, repair shops, and police can see it just by checking the serial number or IMEI.

  2. 2

    See Its Whole Story

    Before you buy a used device, see every person who has owned it. This record can't be changed, so you always know exactly what you're getting.

  3. 3

    Hand It Over Safely

    When you sell a device, move ownership to the new owner online. It's safe and can't be faked — the buyer has to accept it on their own account, so there's proof for everyone.

  4. 4

    Look It Up for Free

    Anyone can check a device's story just by typing in its serial number or IMEI — no account needed. See if it's registered, flagged, or has been sold before.

  5. 5

    Get Proof It's Safe

    Before you buy, get a certificate that proves the device isn't stolen or flagged. Buy with confidence.

  6. 6

    Alerts Go Everywhere

    When a device is reported stolen, the alert goes out across the whole network — including repair shops and phone stores — so it's harder to hide or sell.

  7. 7

    Help Bring It Home

    If a shop or buyer spots a flagged device, they can report it. This creates a clear trail that helps get the device back to its real owner.
