Lost & found

What ReFind delivers
Everything your school or organization needs to log found items, help people search, and coordinate returns — with moderation and smart matching built in.
Community-scoped listings
Each school or group runs its own space. Members only browse, submit, and claim items within communities they have joined.
Smart visual search
CLIP embeddings power semantic search on the items page — describe what you lost in plain language and see visually similar results.
Admin moderation workflow
Community owners and admins review pending listings and claims before they go live, keeping the gallery accurate and trustworthy.
Map-based location capture
Finders can drop a pin where an item was found. Communities can configure map bounds and restricted areas for campus accuracy.
In-app notifications
Members receive alerts when listings are approved, claims are submitted, or moderation decisions are made — no email required.
Role-based access control
Supabase Row Level Security enforces that users only read and write data inside communities where they hold membership.

What members are saying
Schools, clubs, and teams use ReFind to reunite people with the things they misplace.
“I lost my calculator before finals and found it on ReFind the same afternoon. The photo made it obvious it was mine.”
Maya Chen
Student · Homestead High School
“Our team finally has one place for stray gear after competitions. Admins approve listings so nothing sketchy slips through.”
James Ortiz
Club advisor · Robotics Club
“We used to keep a paper log nobody checked. Now students search on their phones and claims go straight to our admin queue.”
Priya Sharma
Front office staff · Lynbrook High School
“Water bottles and hoodies used to pile up in the equipment room. ReFind cut our unclaimed pile in half this season.”
Daniel Kim
Athletics coach · Varsity soccer
“Costume pieces get misplaced every show week. Members post finds with photos and we reunite props before opening night.”
Elena Vasquez
Parent volunteer · Drama boosters
“Smart search is surprisingly good — someone typed "blue spiral notebook" and the right entry popped up immediately.”
