You can buy a third party wallet card that works with the Find My network just like an AirTag.

I'm always tempted to buy one of these but most of them seem to be one time usage, and don't have a way to recharge. That always seems very wasteful to me.

Any recommendations for a rechargable but thin one, AirTag itself is too thick for regular wallets.

The Eufy SmartTrack card is great! Mine is non-rechargeable and going on year 3. They have released a rechargeable version called the “E30”.

I've been using one of these with Find My for over a year. I've not done anything with the Eufy app, just the Find My app itself. It lacks the precision find, but you can play a sound through the Find My app / get directions / share the item / flag the item as lost / do left behind and it works well.

The other direction is just get a wallet that supports a real airtag. Because my wallet is so important to me, the name brand airtag, with UWB-enhanced findability, is worth swapping out my wallet rather than getting a sub-par credit-card find my compatible device. nb, I came to this conclusion after getting an aftermarket credit card device and found it lacking.

I have almost an identical wallet; I really considered using the card form factor but I would miss the precision find too much.

I have one you can recharge wirelessly. Forget the brand but it’s been working well

The ugreen one is rechargable - https://www.ugreen.com/en-ca/products/ca-45298

I could be wrong but third party tags bet a subset of the tracking capabilities? Ie less accurate/less likely to be found.
