uTag is an Android app plus a SmartThings mod that enables Samsung Galaxy SmartTags to be used on any non-Samsung Android device running Android 11 or above, without root or Shizuku. It supports setup, tracking, ringing, UWB precise finding, location history, and adds extras like widgets and Wi-Fi-based safe areas.

Use cases

  • use Samsung SmartTags on a Pixel or other non-Samsung Android phone
  • track lost items with SmartTags without owning a Samsung device
  • ring my SmartTag and view its location history on Android 11+
  • get left-behind alerts when I forget a tagged item
  • find items precisely using UWB on a compatible phone
  • export SmartTag location history
  • set up safe areas for tags based on Wi-Fi networks

When to choose

  • you own Samsung SmartTags but use a non-Samsung Android device
  • you want SmartTag features like UWB finding or location history without root
  • you want extra features Samsung's app lacks, like widgets and history export

When to avoid

  • you need iOS support
  • your device runs Android 10 or lower
  • you are unwilling to sign in with a Samsung account or install a modified SmartThings app
