The four coolest gadgets
Not everyone is already familiar with the principle of crowdfunding, and that is normal. It’s still a relatively new concept, but one that can help creative people make a difference. You first support a great idea for a product, and then you can follow the progress until the package arrives at your door. We selected the four best novelties for you.
1. Illumi key – key with LED and phone tracker
For who is it?
For anyone who often loses their keys or phone.
What is it?
As the name suggests, the Illumi key is a key that gives off light. In the accompanying app you set the location of your house and then the key will light up as soon as you arrive at home. This way you will find the right key much faster and you will no longer be standing at the front door trying several keys before you can enter. If you have multiple keys to a bunch, you can set a separate location for each. On the other hand, you can also use the Illumi key to find your lost phone. You can order the keys online and then have them processed at the locksmith.
- Ilumi-key – Kickstarter – 29 euros incl. shipping – expected in December 2022
2. Titan SnapStand – versatile kickstand in different sizes
For who is it?
For those who want to put a tablet, telephone or other electronic device upright.
What is it?
Titan’s SnapStand serves as a universal kickstand for your devices. It comes in three different sizes so that you can place phones, tablets and laptops upright. You can very accurately determine the angle at which you put your device upright and that works with a built-in hinge. Furthermore, with a kickstand you always receive a magnetic sticker that you can attach to a device so that it stands firmly.
- Titan SnapStand – Kickstarter – 41 euros incl. shipping – expected in August 2022
3. PixelCable – usb-c charging cable with OLED screen
For who is it?
For anyone who gets excited about the idea of a smart charging cable with a screen and animations of your choice.
What is it?
PixelCable wants to make the charging experience with your phone and laptop better. The OLED screen shows the power with which you charge a device and you also see how much it has already been charged with a percentage. The PixelCable supports charging up to 100W, so you can also use it to charge laptops via the USB-C port. In addition, you can install the corresponding app on your phone to display fun texts, animations or emoji on the screen. The PixelCable is available in Lightning and USB-C.
- Pixel Cable – Kickstarter – 38 euros incl. shipping – expected in August 2022
4. RxKeepe- smart medicine box
For who is it?
For those who take medication on a regular basis and are at risk of forgetting it.
What is it?
Do you take pills every day or does your father or grandfather have a whole box full? The RxKeepe ensures that you do not forget to take medication. The app sends you a notification when it’s time to take a pill and if there’s no answer, the RxKeepe can still text, email or call. If that is not enough to attract your attention, the app can still switch on your smart speakers or make the smart lamps in your house blink. The box also contains a temperature sensor that helps you to keep medication at a suitable temperature and in the app you can read which medication you have or have not taken in recent weeks.
- RxKeepe – Kickstarter – 28 euros incl. shipping – expected in July 2022
Think of this with crowdfunding
Keep in mind that with crowdfunding you always support an idea in the first place, with no real guarantee that the actual product will meet your expectations. So choose the projects and start-ups that you really believe in and follow the regular updates on development and shipping that the start-ups communicate.
