The actual device
What you get
Real photographs of the hardware, plus a model you can turn over.
A 3D model, built to the measured dimensions. Every other view here is a photograph.
And the app it talks to
Live location, safe zones, and entry and exit alerts.
It fits on a credit card
45 x 45 mm across, 17 mm thick, 33 grams. That is the real photo of the device, sized against a real card, so you can judge it properly instead of guessing from a product shot.
Peace of mind
Every step of the way.
Built Different
Why this is different from typical Kickstarters
Most hardware projects raise money to start building. We already did the hard part.
Idea
Prototype
Typical Kickstarter launches hereWorking Hardware
Most hardware Kickstarters launch with a CAD render. We launch with real samples, tested and validated with our manufacturer.
FCC & CE Granted
FCC and CE radio certifications are already granted on our hardware platform. Canadian ISED certification is in progress.
Manufacturing, Not R&D
StepSafe launches hereYour pledge goes straight to production runs and the final Canadian certification, not to finding out whether this works. That part is already done.
The Problem
Every parent knows the panic.
That moment in the store when you turn around and they're gone. The worry when they're playing outside. The fear that they've fallen and you're not there.

Water Hazard Alerts
Because seconds matter near water.
When children wander, water is the biggest danger. And it is usually water close to home: a backyard pool, a neighbor’s pond, the retention basin behind the school. That is the part you can get ahead of. So we built StepSafe to help you map it, all of it, before it matters.
During setup, we walk you through every water hazard in your child’s world. Your backyard. The neighbor’s pool. The retention pond behind the school. The fountain at grandma’s. You mark each one as a safe zone, and StepSafe alerts you the moment your child enters or leaves it.
Mapping the water near home is something you can do this week, with or without a tracker. StepSafe just makes sure you get told when it matters.

Safe zone entry alert
Add mode: tap anywhere on the map to place a water hazard.
Interactive demo for illustration only. The real app may look and feel different.
Note: StepSafe uses cellular GPS location and geofencing, not underwater sensors. Water hazard mapping is a setup and alert feature. IP65 protection covers dust plus rain and splashes only; the device is not for submersion.
