Tool Theft Protection · Built for the Trades

Know the second someone touches your tools.

A covert security device that hides inside your toolbox and fires an instant alert to your phone the moment anyone moves it — even when you're across the job site.

This is the real hardware.

No renders, no mockups. The prototype disguise, the internals, and the live dashboard — exactly what ships.

How it works

Simple. Covert. Instant.

Plug it in once. It looks like a spare battery. Nobody knows it's there.

01

Hide it in your box

Disguised as a standard power tool battery. Tuck it in with your tools — it blends right in.

02

Connect to WiFi

Takes 2 minutes. Works on any job site network or your phone hotspot. Browser-based setup, no app needed.

03

Walk away

The motion sensor arms automatically when you leave. It knows when you're nearby via Bluetooth and stays quiet.

04

Get the alert

The second your box moves, your phone buzzes. Instant push notification. No delay. No subscription.

What's inside

Built tough. Built smart.

📡

Instant Push Alerts

Real-time push notifications to your phone via ntfy. No app, no subscription, no monthly fees.

🔵

BLE Auto-Arm

Senses when you're nearby via Bluetooth. Arms when you walk away. Disarms when you return.

Shock Detection

6-axis IMU detects movement, impact, or tilt. Catches everything from a gentle lift to a hard grab.

🔋

LiPo Battery

Built-in rechargeable battery with USB charging. Days of standby. Keeps protecting even if power goes out.

🌐

Browser Dashboard

Full settings panel from any device on the same network. No app install, no cloud login.

🔒

Disguised Design

Looks exactly like a spare battery. Thieves won't know it's there until it's too late.

Who's behind this

Built by a maker, not a marketing team.

I'm Matt — an embedded systems developer and lifelong maker. I design, solder, flash, and test every Toolbox Monitor myself in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

This started because tool theft on job sites is an epidemic, and every "solution" out there wants a monthly subscription and a cloud account. I built something that works on your network, alerts your phone, and never charges you again after the day you buy it.
