Looq Remote Shutter - taking selfies and group photos was never this simple


Everybody loves taking selfies. Since the advent of Instagram, the amount of selfies has raised quite much. Still, it’s a bit difficult to take selfies. We need some kind of device that could help us take the perfect selfy by ourselves or we could ask someone else to do it for us.

Look at the new Looq Remote Shutter (No pun intended) it’s an arm length phone holder to snap those perfect selfies or shoot a couple of pics with your friends. You don’t have to ask strangers to take a picture for your when you’re out and no friend/family has to be left out when taking a group photo.

This device is much different from other holders. It comes with a remote shutter, so you can snap the picture at the right time instead of relying on the timer shot. You don’t need to carry tripods with you anymore. Best of all, it’s battery less, so just plug it in and you’re good to go. All you need is a special app which is available for both iOS and Android.

The Looq Remote Shutter is available for $69.99 via Looq Store.

Hale Dreamer Alarm Dock - helps you get more sleep while keeping tabs on your calls and texts


If you hate waking up in the middle of night at the sound of your phone's ringtone and noticing that it’s an unimportant text or call then we feel sorry for you. There’s not much you can do about it except for putting your phone into silent mode, which in turn silences everything even emergency calls. Wouldn't it be perfect if there was a device that could filter emergency calls for us?

The all new Hale Dreamer Alarm Dock for Android is the perfect solution to your sleep related problems (Not all of them). This retro looking dock will screen your texts and calls when you’re sleeping. Nothing will wake you up unless it’s an emergency.

The dock uses a SmartSilence feature that will send a text message to a midnight caller asking if it’s an emergency and the instructions to send back an “E” if it actually is an emergency that can’t wait. You can also screen your contacts so the dock knows beforehand who to let through and who to block.
The Hale Dreamer Alarm Dock is now up for funding on Kickstarter. You can secure one for $69.
