Autonomous Key, a $9 NFC physical security device, has begun shipping following its Kickstarter campaign.[1] The device allows users to lock distracting applications and requires physical scanning of the key to unlock them, with each unlock lasting up to 60 minutes before automatic re-locking.[1]
The product positions itself as an affordable alternative to competing solutions.[1] Comparable devices on the market include Blok at $29, Unpluq at $26.50, and Brick at $59.[1] Autonomous Key operates without subscription fees and supports multiple phones paired to a single key.[1] The roughly 3-inch device comes in five colors—pink, orange, blue, gray, and brown—and works with Android 8.0 and newer as well as iOS 15 and newer.[1] The accompanying application provides AI-driven analysis of user habits to help identify problematic app usage patterns.[1]
