Kensington Proximo Starter Kit SKU #39565January 30, 2013 | Gadgets: Kensington's solution to lost keys, phone and gear“The Fob attaches to the included key ring and after you have it linked with the free Kensington Proximo app (with a very easy setup), anytime the devices are separated an alarm sounds. If your phone is within range but you can't seem to find it, press a button and it will. It's easy to think of this as a monitoring device for your expensive smartphone but it also works in reverse once everything is linked up. With your phone in your pocket or purse, it can alert you that you have left your keys behind. Within the app, you can set the sensitivity and a specific sound to allow you to control how far you are separated from your device before the alarm goes off.” – Gregg EllmanCombined Circulation: 16 million unique readers a month

As well as the fob, you also get a tag that can be attached to other valuables and an iOS app that allows the monitoring of up to four further tags (priced at $25 each) simultaneously.
