Calling all parents: Keeping track of personal items in your home — especially those that young kids are prone to lose — just got easier, thanks to movement sensor Sammy Screamer.
BleepBleeps, a company that develops high-tech devices to "make parenting easier," created Sammy Screamer to help moms and dads track items at home.

To use Sammy, users simply place it on the item they want tracked. If the item gets moved, Sammy screams, and sends a push notification to their smartphone. For example, if Sammy is on a jar of cookies, and a child tries to eat some before dinner, the device sounds an alarm and sends a push notification to the user/parent.
Sammy comes with the company's smartphone app, which lets users modify the device's sensitivity and volume. The device is BleepBleeps' first parenting tool.
Customers can also preorder Tony Tempa, a BleepBleeps product that measures body temperature by taking a reading from inside a user's ear, and then sends that information to his or her BleepBleeps app.
BleepBleeps' Kickstarter campaign for Sammy has already raised nearly $70,000 — three times its original $20,000 goal — with eight days remaining.
