A simulation, not live data. The map and the neighbourhood are made up.
Wherever they go, you already know.
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.
Manufacturer Locked In
JIMI IoT builds our hardware. They ship over 1.7 million tracking devices a year, so finding a factory is not a problem we still have to solve.
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.

Over 5 years, Lifetime Pro costs US$2,400+ to US$3,659 less than AngelSense.
One payment. No monthly fee. No activation fee. Free shipping.
AngelSense monthly rates are from their US store (screenshot on our sources page). Their US help pages list a US$59 activation fee on month to month. The other two plans carry a “reduced activation fee” whose amount AngelSense does not publish, so those cells say “+ fee” rather than guess. We could not see whether US month to month also charges for the device, as the Canadian checkout does, so US figures assume the device is free, the assumption most favourable to AngelSense. GPS SmartSole is from MetAlert’s store on 21 September 2026, in US dollars only, excluding any shipping. Totals assume today’s rates continue. See our sources page and our full comparison. Our prices are late pledge prices, held until devices ship in February 2027.
