Organize and keep track of your keys with KeySmart Pro’s Tile integration

KeySmart Pro with Tile™ smart location
Bluetooth-tracking technology has made it easier for us to keep tabs on our possessions, but it hasn’t done much by way of getting us organized. After all, if you can stick a Tile tracker onto everything you own, do you really care about how put-together your possessions are? Luckily, there is one device on the market that not only wants you to stay aware of your things’ whereabouts but stay structured, too. Meet the KeySmart Pro, a Tile-powered gadget that wants to help you find your keys and keep them organized as well.

The minimalist device has Tile Bluetooth tracking built right into its hardware, which means that you don’t have to waste space by attaching an additional keyring and tag. Instead, you can just place all of your keys inside the KeySmart Pro. It looks a bit like a Swiss Army Knife case, but instead of pulling out blades and screwdrivers, you pull out all of your keys (oh, and of course, a bottle opener).

Capable of holding up to 10 keys (without an expansion pack), the KeySmart Pro is made of polycarbonate plastic, which claims to be both shatterproof and scratch proof. The hardware within the device is made of stainless steel, and once you attach a key to the KeySmart Pro, you can hide its jagged teeth while exposing its smooth back for easy access (and no more nicked fingers). Promising to be universal, the KeySmart Pro should work with just about any key found at your local hardware store. If you add expansion packs to the modern keychain, you can hold up to 50 keys.

And because Tile is built right into the KeySmart Pro, you don’t have to worry about losing your keys again. Conversely, you can also use the KeySmart Pro to find your phone — simply press a button, and you can make your phone light up or ring. The device will even turn up the phone’s volume so you can hear it beeping. Plus, a built-in LED flashlight means your days of fumbling in the dark to unlock your door are long gone.

You can grab a KeySmart Pro for $60 from the company’s website.

Apple’s Smart Battery Cases for the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro are here
How to Hide Apps on an iPhone

Apple's official Smart Battery Cases for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max are finally here. The new phones were launched to the public in September, but official battery cases for the phones were absent from Apple's lineup -- until now.

The new cases don't look all that different from previous generations, offering a relatively large bump on the back, where the extra battery is stored. The main difference, of course, is that the cases have a square camera cutout instead of an oval one to accommodate for the new shape of the camera cutouts on the iPhone.
