Everyone has wished for an Easy Button at some point.
But outside of a Staples commercial, no magic button will assemble a plate of Thanksgiving leftovers while you laze on the couch or endure a three-hour phone call with your mother-in-law.
A Swedish company’s new product, Flic, will come pretty close.
Flic’s Indiegogo campaign, launched Nov. 17, promises a finger-sized button that can sync with apps to control lights, play music, send a GPS distress signal, take a picture, unlock a door, locate your phone or even order a pizza.
The silicone buttons are equipped with Bluetooth to connect with services like Nest, garageio, Homeboy and social networks so you only need to lift one finger to do your dirty work. Commands can be programmed with the company’s Android or iOS apps and work within 150 feet of a user’s phone.
The crowdfunding campaign has already raised nearly triple its $80,000 goal, having collected $227,375 by Wednesday afternoon.
Flics can be purchased for $27 each (with free shipping in the United States) and are expected to ship in March 2015. Check them out here.
