TL;DR: This Indiegogo-funded smart lock makes keys obsolete and is 25% off as of April 14, dropping the price to $149.

There are endless ways to take an ordinary household item and make it smart. Tired of turning off the lights when you’re already in bed? Get a smart light. Horrible at cleaning? Put a smart robot vacuum on the job. There’s even WiFi-enabled smart sex toys, but we do not recommend those in the age of COVID-related internet slowness (buffering is not your friend in that case). The point is: for those of us who are lucky enough to be spending more time at home these days, why the heck not upgrade, right? 

For one thing, you won’t have to bring your keys along on your social-distanced daily walk or jog (proud of you!). You won’t have to struggle to find your keys in the dark ever again. You can give your dog walker a one-time access code. And did we mention you won’t have to carry keys?!

Meet Gimdow, a peel and stick smart lock that makes upgrading your deadbolt easy. All you have to do is peel and stick it atop your existing deadbolt, and it will allow you to use a code or an app on your phone to unlock it anytime. The people who built it even made a fun video in case you want to see it in action:

Gimdow raised more than $50K on Indiegogo and its backers have been waiting patiently for this baby to go from prototype to reality. But you arrived just in time for the real thing. Our readers can get 25% off and pay just $149 for this game-changing smart lock.
