Okay, it’s survey time. How many times have you left your house only to realize you’d forgotten your wallet and you had to turn back? Or your phone? Or what about your keys? With so many things on our minds and to-do lists, it’s hard not to be scatterbrained from time to time. Thankfully for us, technology is here to help us be a little less forgetful in the form of The O.
While reminder apps are great tools for remembering to pick up the dry cleaning or remind you of that dentist appointment, it’s probably a little over the top to use them to remind you to bring your everyday belongs with you. Enter The O, a small, jewelry like device that easily clips to one of your everyday essentials and hooks up to your phone and notifies you every time you leave home without it.
Similar to a keychain, The O can be attached to anything you deem an essential, whether it’s your keys, wallet, or even your umbrella. Once attached, The O connects to your smartphone through a corresponding app (available for both iOS and Android) and you can log your essentials and set up a reminder daily to bring them with you. As soon as you set foot outside your door, if your essential is not with you, The O will send a notification to your phone letting you know.
But that’s not all: whenever you leave any location that is not your home, The O will instantly scan the area to make sure you have all of your belongings with you. For commuters and people on the go, how awesome is that? No more hoping you didn’t leave your wallet on the empty seat beside you; if you did, The O has your back. Using AI technology, The O adapts to your behaviour and will let you know of belongings you made need accordingly. It will even check local weather forecasts and let you know if you need an umbrella when it’s raining.
Created by a London jewelry designer, The O is a sleek device that comes in a variety of colours and has chic metal attachments, making it a seamless, chic tech accessory for the busy working person. The O starts at $119 and is available online for purchase now.
Better hurry up and get one. Before you like, forget or something.
