Left your wallet behind? Someone trying to steal it? With Woolet, you’ll immediately know. Your phone will ring the moment you are separated from Woolet. You can specify any distance between 20-85 feet (6-25m) to get automatic alerts.
DISTANCE
TRACKER TO FIND WOOLET
Misplaced
Woolet somewhere nearby? Use the built-in distance tracker. You’ll know how far
away your Woolet is and if you’re getting closer. Accurate to within 0.4m. There’s
no hiding your Woolet from you.
RING
WOOLET TO FIND IT
Lost
your wallet under the car seat? Maybe behind the couch? Get it to ring with the tap
of a finger. Finding your Woolet is always super
simple.
LAST
SEEN LOCATION
Don’t
remember the last place you had your wallet? Woolet does. Your phone
automatically records the last location it saw your Woolet. That means you
already know the best place to start looking.
CROWD
DETECTION
If your
Woolet is ever lost, you can activate the Woolet crowd detection network. With
a simple press on your phone, every other Woolet user will start scanning for your lost
Woolet. When they get within range, the GPS location is instantly updated to
your phone.
NEVER LOSE YOUR PHONE, TOO
Left your phone behind but have Woolet? Woolet itself will ring to let you know. Woolet has a built-in ringer so protection goes both ways when you step beyond the tether distance you set. No more leaving behind your smartphone.
SLIM AND FULLY CAPABLE
Woolet is just 9.9mm thin, yet ready for anything. Unlike other smart wallets, Woolet is a ‘full wallet’. This means you don’t need to compromise on what you take. Woolet has 4 slots to accommodate all your cards. There is a large card slot for those bigger IDs (up to 70 x 100mm) and a hidden pocket. Woolet also comfortably fits larger banknotes, including euros and British pounds, so you’re ready for any country.
SELF-CHARGING
BATTERIES, UNLIMITED ENDURANCE
Batteries
are an essential component of any smart device. They are also often its weakest component. That’s why we designed self-charging batteries to provide dependable power that lasts.
We are
currently testing recharging by movement and body heat. We will update you with the implementation we choose.
HANDCRAFTED BY MASTERS
Your wallet gets more use than almost any other accessory. That’s
we've partnered with some incredibly skilled artisans to produce Woolet. Every Woolet is made from the finest hand-dressed calf leather. Choose from sleek black with red stitching or supple suede with orange lining.
RFID BLOCKING SLEEVE
Prevent anyone reading your RFID-enabled cards to steal your cash or identity. Woolet's card sleeve offers RFID-skimming protection by blocking out 100% of the signals. Walk without worrying about someone casually reading your card while walking by.
KEY FINDER
A key finder with all the same capabilities as Woolet, including a self-charging battery. Made from the same high-quality leather as Woolet and available in black and brown. Attach it to your key ring and you'll never lose or misplace your keys again!
PHONE COVER
Protect your phone from scratches and drops with the Woolet phone covers. It comes in 2 sizes for 4.7" and 5.5" phones. It is perfect for iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, and similarly sized phones. Made from the same high-quality leather as Woolet and available in black and brown.
After many months toiling in the engineering laboratory and the tanner, Woolet was born.
When cutting-edge technology meets the finest artisan handcrafting.
Woolet grew out of a shared passion for security, hardware and beautiful design. We are driven to give our most precious belongings the best high-tech security in beautiful, simple devices.

Risks and challenges
No one wants to see a good idea executed badly. We have worked extremely hard over the last months to deliver a product you will love and we can be proud of. As this is our third time launching a product on Kickstarter, issues should also be minimal.
The main challenges ahead:
ENGINEERING
Creating Woolet’s simple user experience requires engineering a complex system. To make sure we get this right, we have assembled an experienced team of engineers and designers. We have already built 3 generations of prototypes. Currently, we are producing the first batch to test with users.
MASS PRODUCTION
Taking prototypes to mass production involves sophisticated logistics and relationships with suppliers. To minimize these risks, we have been negotiating with suppliers (including backup suppliers), testing component quality, and building a team that can execute on our promises. Our plans are nearly in place, and we require the resources to ensure we achieve this.
OUR PLEDGE: If something goes awry, we promise to be honest and clear, always.
