Chipolo ONE

It’s happened to us all at one time or another... you reach into your pocket or bag and quickly realise that your house or dorm keys aren’t there. With the Chipolo ONE you can keep track of where you last left them. With the user-friendly app, Chiopolo can detect your keys from up to 60 metres away and can sound an alarm to alert you to their whereabouts. Similarly, if you’ve lost your phone, press the Chipolo and your phone will ring. The app’s map feature will also let you know when you were last with your keys if you’re out of range so you can retrace your steps.
