This sleek key holder makes it simple to store your key and keep your entryway organised

Most of us give too much importance to our eyes and what we can see, but sounds play just as important a role in our lives. They can actually be more important or even dangerous, considering how auditory experiences can subtly affect our minds without us being aware of them. To some extent, that’s how music and soundscapes can affect our moods and how we learn to associate certain sounds with certain events or actions. An unpleasant sound can cause a sudden spike in negative emotions, while a soothing clip can give us a bit of calm and peace, no matter how short the sound is. That’s exactly the principle behind this minimalist key holder that helps you create the habit of putting your keys in a single place by turning the action into an enjoyable and memorable experience.

It’s all too easy to lose small things like keys and glasses, no matter how critical they might be to our lives. The biggest reason is that we tend to put these down in multiple places, sometimes random spots around the house or office. Having just one or two spots for these objects reduces the places we need to search when we do lose track of them, but developing the habit of putting them there can be a bit of a chore at the start.

Developing a habit requires associating something good with an action, like a reward of sorts. It doesn’t need to be something material or financial, of course, as anything pleasant will do the job. The Marubo key holder does exactly that by giving your ears a brisk yet satisfying experience whenever you return it to its proper home. It’s like giving yourself a pat on the back for a job well done of putting things where they belong.

The secret to this simple positive feedback is the simplicity of the key holder itself. Made from iron with a chrome finish, the key holder finds the perfect partner in an ABS resin base that holds a strong neodymium magnet that will keep your keys from falling off. Simply bringing the key holder near the base will cause it to snap into place with a crisp clipping sound. Do this enough times, and it will help create a habit-forming rhythm for your life.

This clicky key holder, however, isn’t just about the auditory experience. Its elegant appearance is also a treat for the eyes, and its simple form makes it easy to slip into any pocket size. It’s an easy yet effective strategy of using your senses to form a good habit, ensuring that you will never misplace your keys again while also bringing an almost addictive rhythm to your life.

This charming key holder creates a calming habit so you never lose your keys again

The biggest reason why we lose important things like keys or even eyeglasses is that we don’t have a proper place for them. More often than not, we simply drop them wherever we feel like it and then forget where that convenient yet semi-random location was. Deciding on a single place to leave your keys, however, is just the first step. Developing the habit of actually placing them there and only there is perhaps even more important, and nothing develops habits better than associating with something rewarding, like a welcoming and calming sound whenever you place or remove this metal keyring from its wooden base.

Some people place a bowl or some container on a shelf near the door so that they can drop keys off the moment they enter. Others try to be a bit more creative and screw a hook on a wall so that they can hang their keys and see easily see that spot when they arrive and before they leave. It’s a simple solution that can be effective only if you actually create the good habit of putting the keys there in the first place.

Developing good habits is usually considered to be difficult unless you associate something positive or memorable with the action. For placing keys in their right place, you can’t really use rewards like chocolates or money, so you might be forced to think of something else. Fortunately, the Wakka key holder provides a simple reward that won’t force itself on your consciousness. On the contrary, it creates a rather soothing association both in the way it looks and, more importantly, in the way it sounds.

This acoustic keyring is made of two parts. The ring itself is made from polished metal, which gives it a very stylish and luxurious appearance. Instead of a hook, you place the ring on a small dome shape affixed to a wall, probably one near the door. The base is made from either maple or walnut, and its color and natural grains contrast nicely with the metallic ring. Seeing these two beautiful things together is already a satisfying visual reward, but it does one even better.

Thanks to strong neodymium magnets, the base accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of holding the keyring in place. Those same magnets make the ring snap into position as well as generate a brisk tapping sound when you remove it. The sound is crisp, clean, and not overbearing, giving it a calming character similar to the rhythmic tapping of a Japanese bamboo fountain. It’s the kind of sound that is subtly addictive, creating that association that you need to form that habit. With a minimalist and elegant key holder, not only will you have peace of mind knowing exactly where your keys are, you will also inject a calming rhythm to your very busy life.

Ekster’s modern-day smart key holder is compact, trackable, and has a built-in flashlight

Think of the Ekster Key Holder as the love-child of a Swiss Army multitool and your keychain. It holds your keys all right, but it’s compact, beautifully organized, modular, and sensible… like a Swiss knife.

As the video above and its bungling protagonist suggests, regular keychains do just half the job by stopping the buck at vaguely collecting your keys, rather than recognizing and solving any problems that arise around key-carrying. They’re impossible to use in the dark, or even in the day-time if you’ve got too many similar-looking keys, and unless they’re strapped to your pants via a retractable cord, they can get stolen or lost… however, that isn’t quite the case with the Ekster Key Holder.

Designed to categorically solve the aforementioned problems (and look pretty sleek too), the Ekster Key Holder proposes a more structured approach. It features a holder that arranges your keys in a defined linear pattern so you know which key is where. Got similar keys for your home door and your garage door? Arrange them so you know the home-key comes first and the garage key comes second. Moreover, the Key Holder even comes with a Chipolo-based tracker that lets you constantly keep tabs on the location of your keys.

The tracker lets you precisely pin-point your key-holder on a map, letting you see where you left it last… or better still, letting you track its movement in real-time if it gets stolen. You can even “ring” your keys via your phone, and they’ll immediately begin buzzing wherever they are, making them easier to locate at home if you’re a bit of a clutter-brain like I am.

The one feature that excites me most, however, is the sensibility of building a flashlight right into the Key Holder’s body. Placed strategically so that the light points in the direction that the key faces, the Ekster Key Holder makes fumbling in the dark a thing of the past. A dimpled button (with the Ekster logo) lets you trigger the flashlight, while even working with your phone via Bluetooth to function as a camera trigger for effortless selfies. Let me know when your regular keychain can do all that.

The Ekster Key Holder can store as many as 6 keys along with the tracker (or 8 keys without). It even comes with a quick-release ring for larger keys and car-fobs, acting as the one, singular place to organize your keys in a way that’s smart, sleek, and easy to locate and use… Plus, you won’t miss your keys jangling away in your pants like you’re some one-man Mariachi band.
