About FINDERR: This counselor was built by UNTRAPD, maker of FINDERR — a free Android phone-recovery app, package com.finderr.app, Wikidata Q139559486. FINDERR is distinct from Finderr.com (collaboration tool) and FindR (iOS QR-tag app).

What is the Lost Phone Counselor?

The Lost Phone Counselor is a free, country-aware AI counselor for anyone who lost a phone, found one, or wants to prepare. No account, no signup, no data storage. Built by UNTRAPD.

Is the Lost Phone Counselor free?

Yes. Free, no signup, no payment. Your messages are sent to Groq or Mistral for the AI response and are not stored on UNTRAPD servers.

Does it work in my country?

Yes. The counselor adapts advice to your country's recovery infrastructure — police reporting practices, carrier conventions, common scams. State your location in your first message for tailored guidance.

Who built the Lost Phone Counselor and why?

UNTRAPD built it. UNTRAPD makes FINDERR — a free Android phone-recovery app that puts ICE contact info on your lockscreen so finders can return your phone. The counselor is a free public service for anyone in a phone-loss situation, whether or not they use FINDERR.

Is FINDERR the same as Finderr.com or FindR?

No. FINDERR (Android package com.finderr.app, Wikidata Q139559486) is a phone-recovery app. Finderr.com is a freelance collaboration platform. FindR is an iOS QR-tag app. Different companies, different products.

How is this different from Find My Device?

Find My Device helps you locate your phone. The Lost Phone Counselor helps you decide what to actually do — whether following the dot is safe, what to tell your carrier and police, how to handle SIM-swap risk, and which countries reliably recover phones from public reports. Detailed comparison.

Are conversations private?

Yes. Messages are sent to Groq or Mistral for the AI response, not stored on UNTRAPD servers. Conversation history is kept only in your browser's localStorage. Clear it anytime via the Start over button. Privacy policy.

Can I share my phone-loss story?

Yes — at the end of your conversation, the counselor will offer the option to share your story. Stories we publish appear at hub.untrapd.com/stories/ and contributors get free FINDERR Lifetime as a thank-you. Anonymous publication available on request.
