When most of us have a friend who gets sick, we’ll send a card, go and visit them, and maybe offer to pick up their groceries or feed their pet. Justin Zastrow, CEO of Smart Armor, invented an entire gadget to help out.“A buddy of mine that had to take heart medication ended up in hospital,” he told Digital Trends. “I started developing a little locked medicine box for his pills to be stored in, which could be unlocked using a phone. At some point, there was an ‘aha!’ moment and I realized that we should really be building portable locks, where the phone becomes your key.”Jump forward in time, and a neat homemade hack Zastrow built to help out a friend in need has developed into a smart lock that turns any drawer or cupboard into a mini-safe. Called the Smart Cube, the $69-plus gadget is currently raising funds on Indiegogo, where it’s already proven to be a big hit.“The beauty of the Smart Cube is that you can take it anywhere,” Zastrow said. “It’s portable, has a very simple installation process, and can retrofit into any current situation. Being able to take any cabinet or drawer that you already own and have the ability to lock it is really useful.”
