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

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

Google Home’s Interactive Storytime feature has me wondering who actually asked for this
Google Home gets interactive AI storytime, smarter alarms, and broader camera support.

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?

Proxima wants to move blood tests into the home, and it has cleared an important early hurdle
The portable analyzer delivers blood-count results in about 20 minutes, but its promise depends on transparent clinical data
Furniture, Table, Desk

Algocyte’s Proxima is designed to run blood-count tests from a small finger-prick sample and send the results to a clinician in about 20 minutes. For patients who need frequent monitoring, that could mean fewer trips to a clinic or laboratory.

The device has also moved beyond the concept stage. Proxima carries UK conformity credentials, while Algocyte operates under a certified medical-device quality system. Those steps give the project more weight than a prototype shown at a launch event.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.
