Instructions that stay up to date
Stick a ThingsTag on the coffee machine, the printer, the boat engine or the shared drill. Scanning it opens a short page with how to use it, who to ask and what to do if it breaks. When something changes, you edit the page instead of printing a new label.
See pricesThe routine changed. The label did not.
Printed labels are out of date the day something moves. A tag page is edited from your phone in a minute, and everyone who scans the sticker afterwards sees the new instructions.

What to put on the page
- Steps in plain words
- Three to five short lines are easier to follow than a manual.
- Who to ask
- Add a call, text or email button so people reach the right person.
- What to do when it breaks
- Say who to report it to, or where the service number is.
- Where things are
- Filters, spare parts, the manual on the shelf. Save people a search.
Tips for the sticker
- Put the sticker where people look when they need help, next to the controls.
- Choose Information as the tag type so the page shows only your text.
- Protect the sticker with clear tape near water, oil or heat.
- Use one code per machine so each page can be specific.

Who can change the instructions?
Only the account that owns the tags. Everyone else can read the page but not edit it.
Do people need an app?
No. Any phone camera opens the page in the browser.
