Smart Lock Pro: Use Your Phone to Open Your Door

Smart Lock Pro may be what finally puts an end to the seemingly endless quest to find out where you put the keys. This little device controls your lock through an app on your phone and instead of making you fumble through your keys it simply automatically unlocks the door whenever you come home. It sees you coming, and turns the key.

Additionally, the program has an auto-lock setting, immediately locking the door once you leave or enter it so you never have to wonder whether or not you left the door open again. Friends and family can be added to the automatic lock settings and Smart Lock Pro can even connect to Alexa and Siri devices. It might take a little getting used to after a lifetime of keys hidden under garden gnomes but it certainly seems like the future of home protection.

Jammy Portable Electric Guitar

This portable guitar is easy to assemble and works when plugged into your phone, computer or amplifier. It’s compact, take-apart design makes it super easy to fit in a bag and take with you wherever you go. You can’t hear it playing without earphones or an amplifier, however, but it would be a fun addition to a night in a hostel with new friends and songs to sing.

From a verified reviewer, came this rave: “Playing Jammy feels natural on any string, any note. It feels literally like playing keys. Playing chords with the piano sound feels just amazing. That’s why I am satisfied with this little thing a lot and would definitely use it on tour.

I should remark that the instrument also looks pretty cool. It can be dissembled but I don’t want to do that. I have 4 regular guitars, and Jammy feels two times smaller than the normal guitar even when it is assembled
