These 2022 Kickstarter projects DOMINATED the competition on their way to crowdfunding riches.

See what made these hot Kickstarter projects stand out from the pack:

 


December 2022


 

71. Seinxon

This ultra-slim GPS tracker keeps tabs on all your stuff

Let us pray: Phone. Wallet. Keys.

Prayer sound familiar? You might be one of the nearly 25% of Americans who regularly lose track of their phone, wallet, house keys, glasses, headphones, remote, suitcase, kids’ binky, or even their pets. 😱

Keep your sh*t together (literally) with the Seinxon GPS Finder Card.

This slim, Bluetooth 5.2-enabled tracking card works with both Apple and Android to keep you connected to your stuff. When your phone leaves the vicinity of your item, you’ll get a notification. (And when you lose your phone, you can use your other devices to find it.)

Trigger a flashing LED and alarm to reveal where small items are hiding. Seinxon even protects your credit cards with built-in RFID-blocking tech! Amen.

70. Bantal Pillow

This graphene-infused pillow is antibacterial, cooling, and universally comfy

Has your pillow gotten heavier over the years? Bad news: That weight is allllll dead skin, mites, and Face Trash™.

If that sentence 👆will give you nightmares, maybe try the Bantal Pillow.

This self-cleaning, super-comfy pillow is designed to support your head, neck, and spine in any sleeping position. Its graphene-infused foam circulates air to give you a cooler, more restful night — while maintaining its shape longer than other memory foam pillows.

Bantal also comes with a bamboo lyocell cover woven with silver. These silver threads naturally fight acne-causing bacteria, mites, and mold for cleaner sleep, wash after wash.

Go ahead. Go to sleep tonight without the Bantal. When you wake up with a sore neck, stuffy nose, and cheek zits, the link will be right here.

69. Silver Tees

These self-cleaning silver-infused T-shirts keep you looking AND smelling fresh

I assume some people aren’t hideous stinkmonsters with B.O. that destroys their shirts in 3 hours or less. But I can’t say for sure, because I *am* a hideous stinkmonster with un-vanquishable B.O.

That is, until I came across Silver Tees. These T-shirts kill B.O. and bacne at their sweaty, bacteria-laden source (AKA your skin). That means fewer laundry loads, longer wear times, and nobody visibly wincing when you lift your arm to grab a subway strap.

A blend of soft-n’-cozy cotton, naturally antibacterial silver threads, and just a smidge of Spandex give these tees the power to kill 650+ germs on contact — no matter how much you sweat.

68. WONDER FITTER

This smart virtual archery range brings the Hunger Games to your home

Historically, to become a great archer, you needed either a spacious range, or a shocking disregard for human life.

But with Wonder Fitter’s smart virtual archery kit, you can get nocked up in the comfort of your own home. 😉 The system pairs a real recurve bow and blunt arrows with revolutionary high-tech sensors, Bluetooth, and a mobile app for accurate long-range archery right in your living room. 

Choose from multiple games and training modes, and fire away without damaging your TV or your pride! No Katnisses were harmed in the making of Wonder Fitter.

67. Gymera

This AI home gym combines strength programs, nutrition guidance, and fun fitness 

I have formally petitioned the Fitness Gods to stop making it so easy to work out at home. They’re obviously not listening… 

Because the Gymera AI Home Gym just dropped. And this thing mashes the absolute cutting edge of home workout technology into one foldable, freestanding festival o’ fitness.

Combining digital weights (with up to 220 pounds of resistance), a 27” 4K touchscreen display, and a removable mirror, the Gymera is packed with programs. Go for traditional strength training, or try motion-sensing “FunFitness” workouts like surfing, rowing, soccer, and more. 

There’s also a camera and mic for group workouts, sweat-free voice and gesture control — and for truly customized workouts, you’ll start with an AI analysis of your strength and posture.

66. PACOFIRE

This ultralight camping grill folds flat into an envelope 🤯

Moment of silence for all the delicious burgers, hot dogs, and s’mores forever lost to makeshift campfire grills. RIP. 

Those tragedies never have to happen again with the PACOFIRE titanium camping grill.

This ingenious portable grill might be mankind’s greatest engineering triumph yet. 4 slim pieces of food-grade titanium slot seamlessly together to create a rock-solid grilling surface that assembles in seconds, cooks evenly, and even shields your fire from wind.

When you’re done? The PACOFIRE cools down in 5 minutes and folds flat into an envelope. The whole shebang somehow weighs less than a can of beer. And you’re already bringing 6 of those. 😉


November 2022


 

65. All Rounder Pants

These tactical-meets-work pants are the Every Day Carry of the pants world

Pants: If I have to wear them, they damn well better be comfortable.

And since the police insist, I now opt for the All Rounder Pants. Created with durable, lightweight, graphene-integrated fabric, these breathable breeches keep my undercarriage nice and airy — while weighing 47% less than traditional work pants.

With an elastic, anti-slip waistband and 4-way stretch, you better believe I’m wearing these to Thanksgiving dinner. (And with six pockets and adjustable cuffs, I can squirrel away lots of leftovers without anyone knowing.)

I hate doing laundry, so I love that the All Rounders air-dry in minutes and never need ironing. The only thing better than these pants? Being naked.

64. LIVALL PikaBoost: E-bike Conversion Kit

PikaBoost E-Bike Conversion Kit Kickstarter Review

Transform any bike into an e-bike in 30 seconds with this tool-free gizmo

I’m a wheel-y big fan of e-bikes. Sadly, a traditional e-bike is out of my budget, seeing how I’m not a millionaire.

But now I can turn my boring regular bike into an e-bike, thanks to the PikaBoost e-bike conversion kit.

The PikaBoost’s nifty all-in-one design combines a battery, motor and controller. Mount it between the seat post and the rear wheel in seconds with no tools, no disassembly, and no disapproving sniffs from snooty shop techs.

PikaBoost uses Automatic Adaptive Rate (AAR) technology to instantly detect terrain changes, angle, and speed. Then it smoothly adjusts your power assistance with zero latency. In English? You can happily bike uphill without destroying your knees or exploding your heart.

63. Livtab CyberOne- Coolest All-in-one Sit-Standing Gaming Desk

This sit-stand gaming desk builds in every accessory you could want

Y’all. Did you know there’s a medical term for sitting too much? 

It’s DEAD BUTT. (I wish I were joking.)

Save your doomed derrière with the CyberOne sit-stand desk. Along with 10 programmable heights, this chimera of a control center builds in a nested Bluetooth speaker, wireless charging zone, USB ports galore, and heating and cooling coasters — all without cluttering up your desk.

Collision detection keeps the CyberOne from crunching your chair, your knees, or your dog. RGB LED lighting syncs with your music to turn every song into a spectacle. 

And the infinitely customizable backboard means your spacious surface stays clear for, well, whatever you want to use it for. Take that, butts!

62. Kosmu | The Bath Robe Reinvented

This plush, quick-drying bath robe will make you find excuses not to get dressed

When I become disgustingly wealthy after hurling myself in front of Kanye’s Maybach, I plan to wear nothing but the Kosmu robe.

After all, I’ll deserve only the best. And this silk-infused cotton cocoon is indisputably the best. With deep pockets, snap closures, and a roomy hood, this oversized robe is cozy enough for me to recuperate from even the most grievous injur-Ye.

A cushy waffle weave makes the Kosmu absorbent AND breathable, so it’s both a bathrobe and a lounge robe. Plus it dries super-fast. 

It’s a Renaissance robe! And unlike some recording artists, the Kosmu will deliver peak performance for years without disappointing you.

61. Nanobag 6.0 – Ultralight Bags

Yesterday, I forgot to bring my reusable bags to the grocery store. The look the cashier shot me would have turned a lesser man into stone. 😰

All that unpleasantness just because I didn’t have my Nanobag to save the day!

These “tiny big bags” are designed to be the reusable shopping bag you never forget — because they basically disappear into your pocket, no folding required.

The high-performance ripstop fabric is super-soft, yet strong enough to carry up to 66 lbs. (And if you actually want to carry that much, the 3-layered handles won’t tear your hands off.)

Nanobags come in 6 different bag styles and 10 fun prints, including “Space Fox,” “Trippy Cats,” and “Duck Overload”. So when your friend inevitably steals your Nanobag, you’ll be able to identify it.

60. HEIPI: The Lightest and Most Compact 3-in-1 Travel Tripod

This 3-in-1 travel tripod is compact, lightweight, and coming for your Instagram boyfriend

PLEASE don’t tell my girlfriend about the HEIPI travel tripod.

Because if she gets one and starts taking her own Instagram photos, my days are numbered.

This extendable, stable, light-as-an-airplane-cocktail tripod is built with an innovative “3-pillar” center column that not only keeps it solid — but doubles as a removable second tripod. Yeah, she’ll definitely like it more than me 😓

With firmly locking carbon fiber legs, the HEIPI extends up to 59 inches and can support up to 55 pounds of gear. Its detachable ball head is equally friendly to fancy DSLRs and phones. And thanks to its 360-degree panoramic spin, I can watch my girlfriend leave me from any angle.


October 2022


 

59. Everless

The name’s Bag. James Bag.

👆That’s how I think the Everless Smart Bag would introduce itself (while sipping a shaken-not-stirred martini).

This credit card-sized reusable bag holds up to 50 pounds of your favorite spy gadgets or groceries. Like Bond himself, it’s water-repellent, folds into tight spaces with ease, and looks real good in a tux.

Because it folds flat and fits in your pocket, you can keep your Everless with you all the time — so you won’t forget it at home like your other now-useless reusable bags.

And at just $26 for a bag that’ll last longer than Hollywood’s favorite spy franchise, it’s a Pennywise purchase. 😉

58. Shelfy

I admit it. I’m shelfish. 

I buy piles of fresh fruit and vegetables with the best intentions… and then I shovel processed garbage into my face, watching all my healthy-eating hopes wither and rot in the produce drawer.

It’s not just me. On average, 20% of the food we buy winds up in the trash. (Here’s looking at you, 3-Week-Old Cauliflower With Gross Spots On Top.)

Thankfully, Shelfy has arrived to save us from ourshelves.

This slim, smart fridge device uses photocatalytic technology to clean the air and reduce bacterial load inside your fridge — keeping your crisper drawer crisper.

With Shelfy, perishable food lasts up to 12 days longer. And funky fridge smells are a thing of the past. 

Plus, Shelfy’s reusable and washable filter means you’re not locking yourself into any subscriptions. It even connects to Google and Alexa to help you conserve energy (and stop snacking) by keeping your fridge door shut.

This is the tech you need to actually eat that stupid kale before it goes bad.

57. Ultrahuman Ring

If Frodo had been wearing the Ultrahuman Ring, he’d never have tossed that sucker into Mount Doom.

This One Ring to Measure It All tracks your daily movement, sleep, stress, and so much more — all in a minimalist wearable that even Elrond would approve of.

The Ultrahuman Ring tracks biomarkers including your heart rate, heart rate variability, and skin temperature to gently guide you toward a healthier metabolism. It even pairs with the Ultrahuman M1 Continuous Glucose Monitor for deeper insights into how your food affects your overall health. 

And since the ring is made of titanium coated with tungsten carbide, it’s super scratch-resistant. Perfect for when you’re deadlifting your friends through the Mines of Moria.

56. Yarbo

Shoveling snow blows. And blowing snow sucks.

So why not let the Yarbo yard robot do it all for you?

This all-weather intelligent yard robot mows, blows, and knows how to navigate obstacles without needing so much as a single perimeter cable.

With seasonal modules — including a height-adjustable grass-cutting module Yarbo is a single tool that keeps your yard tidy year-round. (Try leafing it to its own devices in autumn with 360-degree leaf-blowing.)

Use the accompanying app to set no-go zones and monitor Yarbo’s path in realtime. Or just enjoy watching it clear your driveway while you snuggle up with a second cup of coffee.

55. STRIG Boomerang

They say humans need connection. The touch of other humans. At the very least, a good old-fashioned full-body massage once in a while.

But the STRIG Boomerang just made that massage self-serve.

Created by a physical therapist, this muscle-scraper-meets-massager is designed to keep you feeling fit and frisky. Its patented microvibration technology helps effectively eliminate deep muscle soreness, knots, and lingering stiffness — sans small talk with spa staff.

Speaking of S sounds, the Boomerang’s ergonomic S shape helps you easily access tricky muscles and hard-to-reach knots. The pocket-size, all-in-one design also includes both single- and double-beveled “blades” for precise muscle manipulation. No attachments (romantic or otherwise) necessary.

And because everyone deserves loves a great massage, the accompanying app comes with personalized tutorials and massage recommendations.

54. VELO Luggage

Deep inside my bedroom closet lives a giant suitcase. Inside that suitcase? Another smaller suitcase. Inside that suitcase? Another even smaller suitcase. You see where this is going.

I’m ready to replace my Russian nesting doll of suitcases with VELO: the first-of-its kind, expandable, 3-in-1 hard-side suitcase.

With a couple quick button presses, VELO turns from a 16” carry-on to a 22” getaway bag to a roomy 26” case. Need extra room for souvenirs? Expand it. Lugging gifts one way? Compress it on the way home — and save on checked baggage fees.

Obviously, a bag this useful needs to last. With an aerospace-grade aluminum frame, adjustable dividers, and optional laptop bag and packing cubes, VELO is made to go the distance.


September 2022


 

53. Crucoon

 

 

Recently, I was informed that building a pillow fort as a 35-year-old man is “immature”.

And as much as I hate to admit it, my mommy was right. So I tore down my fort and bought myself a Crucoon thermotent instead.

The Crucoon gives me personal space wherever and whenever I want it. It’s insulated to block out light, sound, and haters. 

And with two doors in its breathable graphene-infused fabric, it’s got more airflow than those wacky inflatable tube guys at the used car lot.

I don’t even have to mess with tent poles, because the Crucoon’s air-beam technology sets up in 60 seconds. If you need me, I’ll be under the dining room table.

52. Oleap Pilot

 

 

Most headphones give me (a delicate baby who crumples at the first sign of discomfort) headaches. 

But not the Oleap Pilot Open-Ear Headphones.

This innovative headset weighs just 33 grams (about as much as a pair of sunglasses). It’s so light, you’ll forget you’re wearing it.

Two 16mm dynamic drivers and BassLeap technology create high-quality audio with zero pressure or vibration, so you can comfortably listen to music and take calls all day.

Plus, thanks to 3 smart mics and its patented VoiceOn™ ENC algorithm, the Pilot effectively eliminates environmental noise up to 50dB. That’s up to 10x more effective than AirPod noise cancellation.

All-day wear AND superior audio quality? Looks like this big baby is all grown up.

51. Casacru Bath Towel

 

 

Is there anything worse than reaching for your towel and discovering it’s crusty, musty, and still soaked from your last shower? (OK, yes, murder is worse. But I digress.)

The Casacru Bath Towel is a soft, lightweight and yet magnificently absorbent triumph of fabric engineering. It eliminates the ick factor of traditional towels.

How? A hexagonal waffle weave gives this bamboo-based towel maximum surface area to soak up all your leftover bath juice. 

And unlike your always-damp terrycloth towels that breed mold and sadness, the Casacru dries in a (towel) snap. So it smells fresh, even when you don’t.

50. CrossHub Thunderbolt 4

 

 

If I can’t see something right in front of me, it might as well not exist.

This personal flaw renders me unable to notice when my girlfriend gets a haircut… and it also means I need multiple screens to work effectively.

That’s why I’m digging the CrossHub Thunderbolt 4 power docking station. 

This all-in-one hub connects up to 4 extended displays and 7 other peripherals to Mac or PC with a single cable. AND it displays the real-time connection status of every device.

With 40Gbps data transfer speed on 3 downstream ports, I can transfer 4K movies and games from disk to drive in 30 seconds.

At this point, the only thing I can’t see is my impending breakup.

49. ChillZ Pro

 

 

Anyone else remember those little battery-powered fans you’d wear around your neck at summer camp? 

Sadly, we’ve grown up since then. Happily, so have our portable fans. The ChillZ Pro combines a duct turbine with ultrasonic mist for powerful cooling. 

With 3 fan speeds and a wide, 150-degree range of rotation, it’s strong enough to chill even the hottest situations. Like beach days. Or heat waves. Or running into Gisele Bündchen in the sauna.

Naturally, all that power can also be used to quickly charge your phone… which you can then use to play music on the ChillZ Pro’s built-in Bluetooth speaker.

Jeez, if fan technology has come this far, I can’t wait to see what they do with macaroni necklaces.

48. Focus Timer

 

 

BAD: Sand. (Messy, boring color, will ruin your laptop during one of those douchey “Look at me, I work remotely” photoshoots)

GOOD: Lights. (Classic, fun colors, huge technological advancement from fire)

Looking at the facts, why would you use a traditional sand hourglass for productivity when you could use the Focus Timer instead?

Grab and rotate this light-up minimalist timer to set it from 1-100 minutes. I have no idea how this works, so will simply assume it’s dark magic.

Watch the rings of light slowly extinguish themselves as time runs down and a soothing meditation chime sounds. (Hate chimes? Mute it.) Then just flip it over to restart the timer for the same duration. 

Suck it, sand. No one needs you anymore.

 


August 2022


 

47. Giangle

 

 

“You only have to accidentally step on your pet once to be traumatized forever.”

☝️That phrase probably won’t make it onto any needlepoint pillows. 

But I’ll be making it a point to buy the Giangle Automatic Sensing Lights — so nobody in my house does the Ol’ Step N’ Squawk ever again.

These easy-mount LEDs contain both motion AND light sensors, enabling them to turn themselves on before you need them. Gentle diffused light shows you where you’re stepping, so you can pause for paws.

Pick from two rechargeable indoor lights and one solar-powered outdoor light that ALSO wards off mosquitoes.

Man, if I feel this much safer now, just imagine how my dog feels.

46. Magic Dock

 

 

Chaaaaaaarge! 

That’s how medieval army commanders used to start battles, and also what I used to yell at my phone battery every night.

Now I have a new charger to shout about: the Magic Dock.

It’s a modern 140W USB-C PD 3.1 charging station that can wirelessly charge your phone, watch, or AirPods — while simultaneously pumping your laptop and other devices full of juice up to 3x faster than standard 5W chargers.

Plug your gadgets into 3 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port, and watch them fill up on the HD charging info screen

And because the Magic Dock takes both DC and USB-C power, you don’t even have to buy any new cables.

This little cube has Big Dock Energy.

45. FOKOOS Odin Smart 3D Printer

 

 

3D printers have come a long way from their bulky beginnings. But they still require more patience, precision, and tedious troubleshooting than it takes to defuse an IED… 

Until now.

If you want to quickly, accurately print 3D models without feeling like you’re starring in “The Hurt Locker,” you should check out the Odin Smart 3D Printer

Not only does this tabletop creation studio arrive at your door 99% pre-assembled, it prints 6x faster than that 3D printer you bought in 2015 and never put together.

Plus, the Odin takes HD photos and time-lapse videos of its printing progress. It even texts you when it’s done! Now that’s the bomb.

44. CarrGenie

 

 

I rode in my friend’s Tesla for the first time the other day.

Sure, I enjoyed feeling like I was fleeing our doomed planet in Elon Musk’s private spaceship. But I liked the car’s gigantic screen even more. It looked just like a phone, with tappable apps, maps, and more.

Can’t afford a Tesla, or a friend with one? Get a CarrGenie instead.

This Android 11-powered device turns your car’s OEM infotainment system into a full tablet that runs any app. That includes Netflix, YouTube, and all the other ways you keep your kids from grabbing the wheel.

Now you can experience the cordless convenience of CarPlay regardless of your phone’s OS, your car’s built-in system, or the life choices that have led you to not own a Tesla..

43. Keychron K6 Pro

 

 

This may come as a surprise to you since I’m a giant nerd, but I never really “got” the appeal of mechanical keyboards.

Maybe I was just waiting for the Keychron K6 Pro

This mechanical keyboard designed by keyboard nerds for keyboard nerds addresses all the issues you click-clackers have been harping on for years — from weak backlights and dodgy keys to unstable surfaces and rigid switches.

The K6 Pro comes with PCB screw-in stabilizers to eliminate keyboard wobble, plus three typing angles to help you find a comfy wrist position.

Remap any key using QMK/VIA, and connect with up to 3 devices at once thanks to Bluetooth 5.1.

You can even customize every key’s sound and feel by hot-swapping switches with nearly any 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches — no soldering required. 

I’ve seen the (back)light, and I’ll never be satisfied by built-in keys again.

42. QubeStove

 

 

The best thing about pizza? Pizza.

The worst thing about pizza? Waiting for pizza.

Skip the wait (and the awkward delivery driver interactions) with the QubeStove

This portable high-heat stove can cook a 16.5” pizza to crispy perfection in just 90 seconds. Hey, that’s even faster than I can [redacted].

Need more heat? It goes up to 1000 degrees F in just 10 minutes. Throw in any incriminating documents, and you’ve got yourself a Get Out of Jail Free Pizza Party!

Cook with either propane or wood pellets, and don’t worry about getting an even bake — because the QubeStove rotates your pie for you. Dough yeah.

 


July 2022


 

41. Yardball

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

As my girlfriend likes to remind me, not all balls are created equal.

Never has that been more evident outside of my bedroom than with Yardball.

Slightly bigger than a baseball and made of sturdy, already-feels-broken-in leather, Yardball is what happens when three dudes obsessed with creating the perfect ball hit a home run.

This ball is lovingly engineered and hand-sewn for the most satisfying weight, size, and feel whether you’re pitching it over the lawn or tossing it across the living room.

Unlike footballs, basketballs, or other game-specific balls, you don’t need specialized knowledge or equipment to enjoy the Yardball. You don’t even need a glove. 😉

40. 2Hold

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

Having your snacks, drink, phone, and laptop all within arm’s reach is one of the defining characteristics of first-world luxury. And I f***ing love it.

Sadly, sitting on the couch sometimes makes easy access impossible. Lean over to the coffee table to get my drink? What, am I at work now?

The 2Hold is an arched bamboo lap table that keeps all your stuff nearby — no matter how deep you sink into the couch.

With two cleverly stacking platforms (including a ventilated laptop workstation with optional mouse rest), there’s plenty of room for everything you’ll need to not leave your bed or sofa for the next 12 hours.

Made of eco-friendly bamboo, the 2Hold weighs just 3 pounds.

Don’t come over, because I’m not getting up

 

39. Geminos

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

Productivity folks will sing the praises of their multiple-monitor setup all day if you let them.

“I don’t have to toggle between tabs! I get more done! And I can watch movies while I work!” they screech self-importantly.

But the side-by-side setup has big downsides — like having to swivel your neck back and forth all day. And that weird between-screen gap (which means risking accidental eye contact with Janet from HR. Shudder).

The Geminos stacked dual monitor neatly solves both those problems.

This stacked set of two 24-inch monitors gives you all the screen real estate you need in a square aspect ratio — AKA no more neck-breaking.

It’s infinitely adjustable and foldable to work with any sitting (or standing) position.

Oh, and with a 1080p webcam, speakers, and USB docking station to charge all your stuff sans cable mess, you’re about to look reeaaal good at work.

38. Stilform AEON

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

Somewhere, there’s an Office Supply Graveyard piled high with lost #2 pencils.

Not only is constantly replacing your traditional pencils bad for your wallet, it’s bad for the Earth. AND it’s annoying.

That’s why Stilform invented the AEON: a sustainable pencil with interchangeable magnetic tips.

Swap back and forth from an “eternal” metal tip that writes on all sorts of surfaces (yet won’t smudge or budge even when wet), and a darker graphite tip for when you’re feeling sketchy.

Most enticingly, this sleek little number comes in several gorgeous metal and FSC-certified wood veneer options, including aluminum, titanium, magnesium, and walnut, ebony, and maple.

Match your AEON to your desk — which you’ll finally be able to see once you ditch your seventeen makeshift pencil cups.

37. DearBuds SE

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

I love my earbuds. They allow me to simply ~replace~ unpleasant sounds.

Like traffic. Or loud phone conversations. Or my girlfriend asking me why I can’t seem to learn how to put the toilet seat down.

But unfortunately, the more we use earbuds, the higher the humidity in our ears. That means more earwax, more itchiness, and more ear infections. 😰

Enter DearBuds: the world’s first wearable ear dehumidifier.

These bad boys LOOK like earbuds… but they actually have the opposite effect.

DearBuds use a combination of light, heat, and ventilation to safely, gently dry and dehumidify your ears in less than 3 minutes.

The accompanying app even shows you how humid your ears are, and can adjust your settings based on your local weather conditions.

I’m so glad I don’t have to stop using my earbuds. Or start putting the toilet seat down

36. MEAZOR 3D

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

My approach to home decor? Randomly bashing nails into the wall until the picture I’m hanging seems level. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, I have always been this way. No, I will never change.

Although the MEAZOR 3D Laser Measure might change me for me.

This nifty little gadget isn’t just a laser measuring tool or laser level (though it’s both of those, too). It actually creates an accurate 3D floor plan by scanning and stitching multiple rooms together.

Side note: When I say “accurate,” I mean precision within 2mm or roughly the thickness of a nickel. 🤯

The MEAZOR automatically avoids furniture and other obstacles. The room you’re measuring doesn’t even need to be empty!

You can export your measurements right into your favorite CAD software to plan your next home renovation or interior design overhaul.


June 2022


 

35. SLINGSHOT

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

You’ve lost years of your life fumbling around in your backpack or briefcase, trying to dig out whatever crap just became urgently necessary.

No more — because the Slingshot is the weatherproof, rip-resistant daypack you’ve been waiting for.

Made of sleek, hex-patterned ripstop nylon, it offers 10 perfectly sized compartments to keep all dudes, dads, and doodads organized.

Naturally, your gear is protected behind concealed waterproof zippers.

Together, the magnetic buckle and smartly placed Rapid Carry Handle make it child’s play to put the Slingshot on, take it off, or whip it around to the front of your body faster than you can say “Dang, I look like James Bond.”

And with two extra utility clips on the bottom, you can easily bring along your tripod, sweatshirt, yoga mat, or emotional baggage.

 

34. 30° Ruler

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

Move over, 98°.

There’s a new angle in town, and it’s even easier on the eyes than Nick Lachey. 😍

Meet the solid brass 30° Ruler: a desk essential that doubles as your newest family heirloom.

An elegant 30° loop design not only gives this ruler its unique aesthetic, but elevates the laser-engraved scale so every measurement is easier to read.

It’s hefty enough to stay in place while you trace or cut along the edge.

Plus, the loop lets you pick up your ruler without prying it off the table, saving your nails AND your dignity.

The 30° Ruler comes in two different colors and three sizes for whatever you need to measure (no judgment). Personally, I think the boring old desk ruler was long overdue for an update — and I’m loving this sexy piece of brass.

 

33. QOOLA

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

Feeling hot? So not cool.

Enter the QOOLA Wearable Air Conditioner. 

This futuristic device looks straight out of The Expanse — and with its incredible ability to rapidly cool you down to a chilly 59F OR heat you up to a toasty 113F, I wouldn’t be surprised if J.J. Abrams optioned the film rights.

Use the heating mode to stay warm in your frigid office, sensible sweater be damned.

Or use the cooling mode next time you head out to play Ultimate Frisbee in the boiling sun. Watch the heat drop the opposing team like flies… while you stay as cool as Matthew McConaughey lounging in an ice bath. #winning

Little do they know you’re actually controlling your personal temperature. The power, Duke! THE POWER! Looking for some icing on this hotcake? The QOOLA also uses ionic air purification technology to clean the air near your face while it works its magic.

32. The Peaks Crystal Whiskey Glass

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

The Peaks Glass Set is an exquisite whiskey tumbler set with a unique artisanal spin. Inside each glass is a sculpture of one of the world’s four most iconic mountains: Denali, Mont Blanc, K2 and Mount Fuji.

Each glass is crafted using X1 Crystalline Glass, AKA fancy-speak for “looks pretty but you can still put it in the dishwasher.”

At a satisfying 1lb each, these glasses have more gravitas than Morgan Freeman addressing the U.N.

The Peaks Glasses’ patented Chill-Charge System chills down your drink in just 18 seconds — without the need to fiddle with whiskey stones or, God forbid, ice. 🙅‍♂️

And, the mountains aren’t just for show! Swirl your spirit of choice around the peak inside your glass to oxidize your drink and force more ethanol to evaporate — unlocking the true aroma of your whiskey.

These glasses are beautiful AND functional. That makes one of us.

31. SunnySide

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

Wish your lunch packed more punch?

Don’t suffer soggy sandwiches when you could be gobbling up gourmet goodies.

The SunnySide Smart Lunchbox keeps your food fresh for up to 20 hours — which means you no longer need to sacrifice deliciousness for convenience.

Its innovative electromagnetic induction heating means you can evenly heat and reheat your meal up to 7 times on a single charge.

(Perfect for when Janet from HR stops by right as you’re about to chow down.

And they might force you to come back to the office… but they can’t keep you from inhaling Ben & Jerry’s for lunch.

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

Thankfully, the Knotix Roof Rack came along, so I can finally get a kayak… and my girlfriend can’t say sh**.

Coolest of all, the built-in clicker mounts allow all sorts of attachments — so you can carry your kayak, snowboard, Giant Panda, mountain bike, dying relationship, or camping gear wherever you go next.

29. Monarc

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

I thought I was being creative by making a bird feeder with all of my empty 2-liter plastic bottles.

But then I saw what Monarc created, and now I understand why I failed workshop class as a kid.

The Monarc Sling and Wallet are made from recycled plastic bottles.

The Sling uses 21 bottles, while the wallet uses 4. The Sling is light-weight and low profile but still fits 10 liters of gear. It’s big enough to carry your laptop and many other everyday items.

It has three compartments, an RFID pocket, is water resistant, and has a magnetic cross-body strap.

The wallet is super lightweight and has room for your cash, cards and coins.

28. Moft Cooling Stand 

 

Best Kickstarter Projects 2022

 

When I use my laptop on my lap, I get a burning sensation in my legs. When I take it off, I still have a burning sensation, but mostly in my crotch.

That’s normal, right?

What I should be using is the Moft Cooling Stand.

Moft helps you work comfortably and keeps your computer cool.

Plus its minimal design gives it an invisible profile. That, plus dual angles to support different postures, makes it super comfy to use too.

So if you want to reduce that burning sensation like I do, check out Moft. It’ll help keep you cool, keep your computer cool, and it looks cool too.
