Helping communities return what's lost.
FoundEcho connects people who have lost something with the people who found it — safely, privately, and with a simple ownership verification step before any handoff.
The process
Six steps from lost to returned
Every item follows the same path — transparent, verified, and private at every stage.
Report
Describe what you lost or found — category, details, and approximate area. Exact location stays private.
Match
The app compares your report against others nearby to surface possible matches automatically.
Claim
If you found a match, submit a claim and answer the ownership verification questions the finder set.
Verify
The finder reviews your answers privately. Verification details are never public or shared with third parties.
Chat
Once a claim is accepted, you get a private one-on-one chat to arrange a safe handoff.
Return
After the handoff, both parties confirm the item has been returned. Your trust history grows.
Privacy & safety
Designed with privacy built in
Location stays private
Your exact location is never shown to other users. Only a coarse area — a neighbourhood-level label — is visible publicly.
Verification stays private
The details that prove ownership are kept between you and the finder. Nobody else sees them.
Chat only after verification
Private messages only open after a claim is accepted. Strangers cannot message you about an item without going through verification first.
Few steps to report
Reporting a lost or found item is quick. The app handles matching and coordination so you can focus on getting it back.
Coming to iPhone and Android
