Keys. The wallet. The documents. The glasses. The cursed remote control that sinks into the earth until it appears out of nowhere. How many things do we lose sight of in our homes? How much time escapes us, cursing and turning everything upside down? Mothers and grandmothers tell us that “we must stop searching” at that point, but the Wistiki accessory proposes something better: Track all these objects via Bluetooth.
In one of my worst moments, I spent ten days looking for a remote control. I swear. It was as if the damn dwarf that steals socks had decided to take it as a souvenir. Completely defeated, on the last day I threw myself onto the bed and heard the “tac!” of plastic against the floor. This is just a personal anecdote, but I can assure you that at this very moment someone is tempted to take apart an entire sofa to find their TV remote, or their car keys, or their wallet. The famous “looking for it with time” attitude is a myth, and before we know it, we're running desperately from one end of the house to the other.
Thanks to the magic of the Wistiki accessory, you can eliminate this and many other uncomfortable situations at the root. Attach the Wistiki to the object you don't want to lose track of, connect it to your smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy, and when the item in question disappears, use the official Wistiki app to make the accessory sound. As if that weren't enough, it also has two additional modes: “Hot-cold” for tracking it with greater precision, or the so-called “virtual leash”, which emits an alert if the object goes out of a certain perimeter. To this we must add GPS support, which records the last coordinates and recruits the Wistiki community in case a “light-fingered friend” takes your things, and most importantly: a “reverse mode” that allows you to locate your smartphone with your Wistiki, even if it's on silent.
After what has been a resounding success on French territory, Wistiki seeks to spread its wings to the rest of the globe with the help of crowdfunding. The available models are three: aha! (ideal for pets), voila! (keys, pen drives, etc.), and hopla! (wallets, remote controls). Having ten days ahead, Wistiki smashed its goal on Indiegogo (more than 130 percent), and if you want any of these three models, the special price is $29 plus shipping. The best option, which includes two units of each type and free shipping worldwide, is located at just $99. The voila! model will be delivered starting in March 2016, and the rest will have to wait until December of that same year.
