Everyone I know raves about how helpful it is for them to attach an AirTag<\/a> on their keychain to keep track of their keys, but my issue is that AirTags<\/a> are quite obvious \u2014 which gives potential thieves a quick opportunity of removing them. That\u2019s why I ditched mine in favor of this smart key tracker that doubles as a handy key organizer.<\/p>\n

The KeySmart iPro<\/a> is a smart key organizer that neatly organizes my keys together, while also acting as a lifesaving tool in the event it goes missing thanks to its Find My support. Essentially, it\u2019s an AirTag disguised as a key organizer and I love it. For less than the cost of two AirTags, I think the KeySmart iPro still has value. I’d go far to say it’s one of the best key finders<\/a> around. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

I have so much stuff on my keychain that it\u2019s gotten so out of control in the last year, so I needed a change \u2014 but still want the peace of mind that an AirTag offers. I got all of that and more when I finally switched to the KeySmart iPro because of how it better organizes my keys. In fact, it can support up to 14 keys thanks in part to its design that lets me quickly expand it. While I don\u2019t have that many keys on me, I did manage to get the six main keys I need for my home.<\/p>\n

Much like a Swiss Army Knife, all the keys fold inside of it \u2014 but it typically accommodates standard keys that are uniformly flat. Meaning, I can\u2019t install my car key because of how the fob has a thicker base for its controls.<\/p>\n

Despite this, I managed to get all my other keys to fit inside of the KeySmart iPro after carefully figuring out how to best place them inside.<\/p>\n

What I really love most about it is how it supports Apple\u2019s Find My function, which practically gives it the same tracking abilities of the AirTag \u2014 but in a discreet design.<\/p>\n

Through the Find My app, I can see its location on a map and even play a sound to help me track it down easier around my home if I forgot where I put it last. On top of that, I really appreciate the notification I get every time it senses that I\u2019ve left it behind.<\/p>\n

Unlike other smart key finders, like those from Tile or Nomad\u2019s Tracking Card, it doesn\u2019t rely on a battery I need to replace \u2014 nor does it require a proprietary charging cable. Instead, the KeySmart iPro features a USB-C port covered by a plastic flap that\u2019s much more convenient in my opinion.<\/p>\n

Not only is it rated for up to 30 days of battery life, but the simple fact it\u2019s a USB-C port makes it more ideal because I can charge it just about anywhere. There’s also a built-in flashlight, which isn’t as powerful as my phone’s flashlight, but nonetheless helpful when I can’t find anything else around.<\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019ve been using this, I don\u2019t plan on going back to a regular keychain with an AirTag attached to it. For its $49 cost, I think it justifies its value over other smart key finders, especially when it actually organizes my keys. And yes, it comes with a bottle opener as well so now I don’t have to ask a waiter for one at a BYOB restaurant.<\/p>\n
