Habitual key losers and wallet forgetters are exactly who the StickNFind is designed for. The tiny sticker is about the size of a quarter and is equipped with a Bluetooth sensor. The sticker works with a smartphone app to help you locate everything from your wallet to your cat.
The StickNFind works in three different ways. First, you can use it to locate lost items using a radar. The app can't tell you exactly where an item is, but it will let you know when you're near it. The second way the sticker works is through the "virtual leash" feature. This feature alerts you when leashed items travel farther away from your phone than a distance which you pre-set for them.
The final feature is called "Find It." This feature alerts you when you're in range of stickered items (the StickNFind has a range of 100 feet). The StickNFind is currently seeking $70,000 of funding (it already has about half of the money) on Indiegogo.
