Keyto Takes Keto to the Next Level
There are two big downsides to the keto diet: you’re required to tell everyone you encounter how you’re on the keto diet, and you have to pee on a strip to determine if you’ve put your body in ketosis. So basically no matter what, no one wants to shake your hand. Enter Keyto, which tests for ketosis via your breath.
Changer Bluetooth Headphones Are Much More Than Meets the Ear
Changer is a Bluetooth headset described as, “the Swiss army knife of headphones, [that] keep the music or your smartphone going with power-sharing abilities.” That deserves more explanation but, once you learn what these headphones can do, we think you will be impressed. Sure they are headphones, but their cable can be used in a variety of other ways.

Honey, They Shrunk the Rocketbook Everlast (Mini!)
I adore my Rocketbook Everlast, and routinely fill it with workout notes, then scan it, wipe it clean, and start over. Sometimes, though, I need something smaller and more portable, and Rocketbook has the ultimate solution with their new Rocketbook Everlast Mini, a smaller, reporters notebook style with the same wipe-clean features as the bigger Everlast!

We’ve become used to seeing 10,000 and 20,000mAh portable batteries that cost anywhere from $50 – $100 (or more). But what if I told you that you could get a powerful 20,000mAh Orico portable battery that can charge everything from your laptop to your smartwatch for $35? You’d want one, right?

Norshire 4-in-1 Kit: It’s a Car Wash Kit, Jump Starter, Warning Sign, and a Power Bank!

Snoppa Kylin M Motorized 3-Axis Stabilizer for Lightweight Cameras Review
When you’re snapping photos, you can use any ol’ tripod to hold your camera steady. But when you’re filming video, holding your camera steady while you’re moving (especially when what you’re filming is also moving) can be a bit trickier. That’s where a gimbal comes in handy, but which one should you buy? One option is the Snoppa Kylin M.

SynCharge Promises They’ll Give Your MacBook Back Its Magnetic Charger
One of the things I like about my 2015 Macbook Pro is that unlike newer MacBooks, it has the magnetic charger that used to differentiate Apple laptops from all others. If my cable gets bumped or pulled, it breaks free from my laptop — rather than crashing everything to the floor. SynCharge promises to give Type-C MacBooks back that feature.

The FPLife Lockbook Is the Diary I Wish I’d Had as a Teenager
When I was a kid, I kept a diary. It locked with a cheap brass closure, and my brother soon figured out how to pick it. I wasn’t writing state secrets or scandalous notes, but it was a private space for me to ruminate, and it was easily violated. If I’d had an FPLife Lockbook, things would have been different.

Lumidiet Offers a Crowdfunded Way to Separate Fools and Money
It should be common sense by now, but since concepts like Lumidiet exist, apparently this isn’t clear to everyone: magic belts cannot zap away your fat, either through vibration or LED lights. Lumidiet’s Indiegogo campaign is an especially egregious example of these false and misleading gadgets.
