Everyone, at some point, has had the experience of not being able to find their keys, wallet, handbag and so much more. We just can’t remember where we last put them.

While at the time of writing this article it isn’t out yet, this upcoming device has caught our eye, the TrackR Bravo. The TrackR Bravo is a coin sized device which 2 great uses. The first is that, by using your phone, you can track any item that a TrackR Bravo is attached to. The second, it that if you misplace your phone, a click of a button on the TrackR Bravo will make your phone light up and produce sound (even when it is set to silent), helping you find it

How does it work?

TrackR Bravo emits a low energy wireless Signal (Bluetooth), which connects to your smart phone. By working with the TrackR app, it enables to locate any missing or lost items in real time within 100 feet of the item. Using a combination of your own phone and “crowd GPS”, the app also lets you know the last known location of something you have lost that is outside that 100ft range.

The TrackR Bravo has a 1 year battery life and, unlike some of its competitors, the battery is easily replaced. You can find out more information about the TrackR Bravo and preorder at their website.
