  • Never lose or leave your phone, keys, or valuables behind EVER again
  • Save time by automatically locking and/or unlocking your computer
  • Increase security with 2-factor authentication

Instead of typing in your password every time, the GK-Chain unlocks your computer when you approach, and locks when you leave.  Or, if you want additional security, you can set the GK-Chain to actually require the key and the password.

The GK-Chains also serve as Bluetooth 4.0 trackers. Using our free companion app, you can find your GK-Chain with a Bluetooth 4.0 enabled smartphone. This way, you'll have a little more help finding your lost keys, wallet, bag, even your luggage at the airport. The GK-Chain app will alert you when your bag is at hand.

We wanted to provide PC and Mac users both additional security and convenience. It's a great item for anywhere that you'd use your PC.

The GK-Chain tracks the location of the key using a proprietary signal strength algorithm and locks/unlocks your computer based on where you are.

Is it secure? Yes! GK-Chains use a modulating, encrypted connection to enable only a unique key to interface with the lock. The password is encrypted and still stored on your PC, not the GK-Chain – So no one can steal it.


We've been working on the GK-Chain for a while. After several rounds of PCB designs for the locks and the keys, the manufacturer is preparing for the first production line NEXT MONTH!

The GateKeeper software is currently being beta-tested. It currently works on Windows 7 and Windows 8. We're working on the Mac OS version of the software and will have it ready by the end of the campaign. So you Mac users - please do contribute to our campaign!!



We  are working with a manufacturer to produce the GK-Chains. We have worked with this manufacturer on another project - the SunFriend UVA+B monitor.  We have been extremely happy with the manufacturer's commitment and the quality of their work. SunFriends are now selling on Amazon!

We are starting production of the GK Chains. The production run will be in June/July with expected delivery of the first 2000 devices by end of July. These will be used to fulfill the Indiegogo orders.




FAQS

1. Do the GK-Chains work? Or is this just an idea concept?  

They work! There might not be any fireworks or special effects, but the GK-Chain will definitely lock your computer. Convenience.  

AND the BEST PART - we never forget our phones or our keys anymore...

2. Is the distance adjustable?  

Yes. The distance can be changed with the attached software. You can make the GK-Chain activate when you enter the room, or you can change the distance so you have to be very close to your computer.  

3. What if I want multiple USB locks for multiple computers?

This can be done!  Each GK-Chain comes with 1 lock, but if you would like more, please add $10 for each extra USB lock.  Send us a message letting us know you would like another lock.

4. Does it take a long time to set up?  

Less than a minute. After connecting the GK-Chain lock to your PC, it takes a moment to connect. There's a simple, one-time setup after that where you type in your password. And also download our app to sync with your phone.

5. Does it do anything else?  

Actually, it does! The GK-Chain has a KeyAlert app! You run the app on your phone and the phone will beep if it's too far away from your keys. This could cut down on those times where you get up and accidentally leave your keys behind.  We're working on EVEN MORE applications!

7. What colors does it come in?

Black, silver, green, blue, and orange.
