Rolling Square introduces its latest Bluetooth trackers – AirNotch Pro and AirCard Pro – designed for use with personal items like keys, wallets, bags, and more. Both trackers are designed for portability, and the AirNotch Pro is designed as a keyring, while the AirCard Pro suits wallets with a thinner, credit card-like design. The products integrate into Apple and Google’s tracking networks, with some features currently limited to Apple.
Previously, we covered the SenseCAP T1000, a credit card-sized LoRaWAN GPS tracker powered by Semtech’s LR1110. Several years ago we covered some Bluetooth beacons such as the Puck.js or RuuviTag, but we have yet to explore Bluetooth-only trackers with wireless charging capabilities.

The AirCard Pro utilizes Apple’s Find My app to send instant notifications if the device is left behind, with support for Google’s network coming soon. The AirCard Pro has improved flexibility and impact resistance by replacing the aluminum back panel with two anti-explosion glass sheets, offering better scratch resistance while maintaining a slim, durable design.
The AirCard Pro features an IP66 rating offering protection against dust and high-pressure water jets. It can be paired with the AirCard Pouch, a nylon ripstop case with flexible attachment options, or the AirCard Notebook, designed to hold the AirCard Pro securely in a recycled Italian leather A5 cover. Both accessories are available on the Rolling Square product page.
Rolling Square AirNotch Pro
AirNotch Pro is a keyring Bluetooth tracker compatible with both Android and Apple devices. It features replaceable CR2032 button batteries, allowing for up to 20 months of tracking. When the batteries run low, users can easily replace them with the included metal ring. The device emits a strong 360° omnidirectional sound generated by two large buzzers positioned opposite each other, ensuring items can be located from any angle.
In addition to its sound capabilities, AirNotch Pro incorporates photoluminescent parts that glow in the dark, enhancing its visibility in low-light conditions. This design, inspired by Swiss luxury watches, allows users to find their valuables quietly when sound is not an option.
