Noke (developer wants you to pronounce it, "no key") is a padlock you can unlock with your iOS or Android smartphone. So, no key to lose or combination to forget.
With the free app installed on your phone, you can can configure Noke to unlock by clicking the shackle if your phone is within range. Alternatively, you can have the Noke unlock when you:
● click a button in the app
● enter a sequence of long & short clicks — in effect a combination, if that is your preference — or as a backup (reminds me of the Unix shell joke: "Starting next week, all passwords must be entered in Morse code.")
Also allows for:
● shared access
● one time sharing
● time-limited sharing
● time-of-day-limited access
Flat battery?
● claimed battery life is over a year
● Noke warns you in the app, months before the battery dies
● plus you can "jump start" with an external battery
You can sign up for a Noke on kickstarter.com for $US59 until Thursday 18 September 2014 04:00 US EST. / Bluetooth 4.0 security encryption locker bike bicycle lock padlock /
