The Tile is a Bluetooth tracker that will allow you to effortlessly find the items that always seem to get lost. Though the first things to come to mind might be your wallet, phone, or keys, we've come up with nine different creative ways to use a Tile tracker that might just change the way you think of a device like this.

The tracker can be used to find your missing cat, remind you where you parked, and of course, locate your remote between the last couch cushion you would check. What are the best ways you would use it?

Before we get into our creative ways to use a Tile tracker, you first need to know what a Tile tracker is. One of the most popular devices for keeping track of pretty much anything you want, the Tile tracker is a small device that is connected to a mobile app.

You can use the Tile to locate things that you often lose. So instead of relying on your memory to find your car keys each morning, attach the Tile to your keys, just in case you misplace it again (which you will).

A simple device, the Tile allows you to view where it is at all times through your phone. And when it's out of reach, you can push a bottom on your app that will cause the Tile the make a sound.

Save hours of frantic searching for your belongings, and instead attach this simple device to them, and have a piece of mind at all times, even when you're not sure where your remote is.

Find your cat!

The first of our ways to use a Tile tracker is that you can use it to find your cat! This is especially great for those of you who have outdoor cats, but who knows, maybe your indoor cat wants to be an outdoor cat pretty badly. And in that case, the Tile will come in handy.

We all know that cats have their own agenda, and instead of worrying about them being late for dinner time, you'll be able to track exactly where they are by adding this tracker to their collar. They won't even know it's there.

Be sure your luggage is not lost.

We've all had that frantic feeling waiting at the baggage claim where your suitcase is either the last one off the plane, or in another part of the country.

Instead of biting your nails after each new suitcase that isn't yours, add your Tile tracker to the inside of your bag, and you'll be able to find exactly where it is before you even get to the baggage carousel.

Remember where you parked.

Another very relatable scenario, searching for your car in a parking lot or parking garage is never a fun time. And as one of the best ways to use a Tile tracker, dedicate one of your trackers to stick in your car at all times.

You'll never know when this will come in handy, but when it does, you'll thank yourself for doing it. Save yourself the trouble of roaming around the levels of a parking garage attempting to honk your car by positioning it to the inside of your mouth, it'll never work. Instead, find your car in seconds with the Tile.

The remote will never be lost again.

Add a Tile tracker to the bottom of your remote, so you won't have to go digging inside of all of your couch cushions to only find crumbs pushed under your nails.

We all struggle with losing our remote, and it always happens to be lost at the worst times. Instead of wasting your time searching for it, you can just look on your phone to discover you left it in the refrigerator again.

Keep track of your bike.

Next, on our list of the most unique ways to use a Tile tracker is to add one to your bicycle, just in case something were to happen to it. Especially great for those who might have just invested in a new bicycle, you'd never want to lose track of it.

Add a Tile tracker to the underside of your bike's seat, and you'll always be able to track the location of your most precious form of transportation. Great for bicyclists in cities, you'll always have the piece of mind that you will have a tracking device on your bike.

Does your dog ever run away?

Especially great for puppies, or just a dog that seems to have a bit more curiosity than the typical pooch, clipping a Tile to your dog's collar will keep your dog constantly in range, even if he's not physically next to you.

Be sure to keep a close eye on your dog at all time, but if he tends to bolt in your opposite direction once he gets a chance, a Tile is a great option. Plus, if you want to leave your dog in the backyard without a worry, you will get an alert is he's not in range of the Tile right away if he decides to run.

How about a wandering child?

We know this one might be a little bizarre sounding, but you never know is your kid will wander off at the playground. Keeping a second pair of eyes on your children, adding a Tile to their back pocket will track their every move.

As one of the best ways to use a Tile tracker, you can add this device to their clothing with ease, they won't even know it's there, and you'll have a plan if a parent's worst nightmare were to occur with a disappearing kid.

Catch a cheating spouse.

Maybe you haven't thought of this way to use a Tile, but we have. Catching a cheating spouse just got a lot easier.

Just like you would leave a Tile in your car to find it in the parking lot, you can do the same with your spouse's vehicle. If you have a suspicion that they are not going where they say they are, check the location of their car after they leave.

And of course, keep track of your purse, wallet, phone, laptop, you name it!

To complete our list of the best ways to use a Tile tracker, we needed to add the go-to ways to use a Tile. Add one to your purse, phone, medication, laptop, wallet, sunglasses, backpack, or favorite pair of jeans and you'll eliminate the time spent to find them completely. This tracker is perfect for the scatterbrained, but really can be used on a few items for everyone.

Take advantage of tools like this that will better your life, and eliminate wasted time. Because who doesn't want that?
