ProofButton - Press It Once. Get a Text. That's It.

How It Works

Three steps. That's all.

📦

1. Peel It

Adhesive back. Stick it anywhere — under a sink, next to a medicine cabinet, on the chicken coop door, by the front door. No drilling. No wiring.

👋

2. Press It

One press sends a text notification. The physical act of pressing generates all the electricity needed. No batteries inside. Ever.

✅

3. That's It

You now have proof. A real text message on your phone with a timestamp. No nagging required.

Never Needs Batteries — Ever

The button is powered by kinetic energy harvesting. The physical act of pressing the button generates all the electricity needed to send a wireless signal. There is no battery inside. There is no charging port. There is no solar panel.

The mechanical energy from your finger press is converted into electrical energy on the spot. This technology has been proven over 20+ years of manufacturing and is rated for 100,000+ presses.

You will never replace a battery because there is no battery to replace.

Real Accountability Scenarios

Tap any card to see how it works

💊

Did my son take his anxiety medicine?

The scenario: Your 14-year-old has a daily prescription for anxiety. You're at work by 7am. He's supposed to take it before school, but "I forgot" has become a weekly thing. You don't want to nag — and honestly, you can't always check.

The fix: Stick a ProofButton right next to his pill bottle on the bathroom counter. Every morning, he takes his pill and presses the button. You get a text at 7:15am that says "Lincoln took his medicine." If 8am rolls around and no text? You send one quick reminder. No arguments, no interrogation — just a gentle system that works for both of you.

🏠

Press this when you get home

The scenario: Your kids ride the bus home and get there around 3:30pm. You're still at the office until 5. They're old enough to be home alone, but young enough that you want to know they actually made it. Texts go unanswered. Calls go to voicemail.

The fix: Stick a ProofButton right inside the front door, eye level. The rule is simple: walk in, drop your backpack, press the button. You get a text at work: "Kids are home." It takes one second. No phone required. No app to open. Just press and done. You breathe easier for the rest of the afternoon.

💊

Did I take my medicine today?

The scenario: It's 2pm and you're staring at your pill organizer trying to remember if you took your morning dose. You do this three times a week. Sometimes you double-dose by accident. Sometimes you skip entirely.

The fix: ProofButton sits right next to your pills. Take your dose, press the button. The text goes to your own phone as a timestamp. Can't remember if you took it? Scroll your texts. There it is: "Medicine taken at 7:42am." No more guessing, no more anxiety about whether you already took it.

🐔

Have the chickens been taken care of?

The scenario: You've got 12 hens out back. Feeding and watering is supposed to rotate between your two teenagers, but "I thought it was your turn" is a daily argument. Meanwhile the chickens are thirsty and you're the one who ends up doing it at 9pm in your pajamas.

The fix: Mount a ProofButton right on the coop door. Whoever does the morning chores presses it when they're done. The whole family gets a text: "Chickens fed and watered." No more finger-pointing. No more dried-out water bowls. And you stay in your pajamas.

🆘

SOS / Emergency Alert

The scenario: Your mom lives alone and had a fall last year. She doesn't always have her phone nearby. You've tried medical alert necklaces but she hates wearing them — says they make her feel old.

The fix: Stick ProofButtons in three spots: next to her bed, in the bathroom, and by her favorite chair. If she falls or feels dizzy or just needs help, one press sends an alert text to you, your sister, and her neighbor: "Mom needs help." No necklace. No phone. No fumbling. Just one press from wherever she is.

🧹

I cleaned the bathroom

The scenario: Saturday chore list says "clean the bathroom." Your daughter says she did it. You walk in — the mirror is still spotted, the counter is wet, and the toilet? Let's not talk about the toilet. "I DID clean it!" she insists.

The fix: Stick a ProofButton under the bathroom sink. The deal: clean the bathroom properly, then press the button. You get a text: "Bathroom cleaned." Now there's a record. And somehow, knowing there's a button to press makes the job feel more official. Kids take it more seriously when there's a system.

🌙

Goodnight check-in

The scenario: Bedtime is 9pm. You're downstairs finishing dishes. Your kid is supposedly in bed but you've caught them on their tablet at 10:30 twice this week. You're tired of being the bedtime police.

The fix: ProofButton goes on the wall next to their bed. Lights out, press the button. You get a text downstairs: "In bed. Goodnight." It's their way of checking in without you having to march upstairs. It builds trust and gives them a tiny bit of ownership over their routine.

🚶

Did my dog walker come?

The scenario: You pay a dog walker $20 a visit to come while you're at work. They say they came at noon, but your dog still seems full of energy when you get home. You have no way to verify without installing cameras — and even then, who wants to review footage every day?

The fix: Stick a ProofButton right inside your front door. The walker presses it when they arrive. You get a text at work: "Dog walker is here — 12:04pm." No cameras. No awkward conversations. Just a simple timestamp that gives you peace of mind. You know your dog is getting the walk you're paying for.

👴

Senior check-in

The scenario: Your 82-year-old dad lives alone in his house 45 minutes away. He's independent and proud of it, but you worry. Calling every morning feels like hovering. Not calling feels irresponsible. He forgets to charge his phone half the time anyway.

The fix: ProofButton goes on the kitchen counter next to the coffee maker. Every morning when he makes his coffee, he presses the button. You get a text: "Dad is up and moving." No phone needed. No app to learn. Just one press with his morning routine. If 10am comes and no text? That's when you call. Simple peace of mind for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ProofButton

How does SMS work without an app? +

SMS is a text message. Any phone that receives texts can get them. No app download needed. No account to create. Your recipients just get a text message like any other text they receive. Your grandma's phone works. So does yours.

How does the button power itself? +

ProofButton uses kinetic energy harvesting. When you press the button, the mechanical motion is converted directly into electrical power that sends a wireless signal to the hub. There is no battery inside. There is no charging port. There is no solar panel. This technology has been proven over 20+ years and is rated for 100,000+ presses.

What happens if WiFi goes down? +

The button still sends the wireless signal to the hub. When WiFi returns, the hub automatically sends the pending SMS messages. This makes ProofButton more reliable than app-based systems that depend on constant connectivity.

Can I customize the text message? +

Yes! You can configure each button to send custom messages. For example: "Medicine confirmed at 7:32 AM", "Chickens fed at 6:15 PM", "Dinner ready". You set up the message through the web portal or the app.

How do I set it up? +

Plug in the hub. Scan the QR code with your phone camera. Add the phone numbers of people who should receive texts. Configure your message. That's it. 2 minutes total. No app download required for basic setup.

Are there any ongoing costs? +

ProofButton includes 100 text notifications per month at no extra charge. Most families never hit this limit. If you need more, additional text packs are available in the app starting at $2.99 for 500 texts, or you can upgrade to unlimited texts for $1.99/month. There are no other subscriptions, fees, or hidden costs.

Why do text notifications have a limit? +

Every text notification ProofButton sends is a real SMS message delivered through cell carriers — the same way any text message works. Carriers charge us a fee for every single message we send on your behalf. We include 100/month free because we want the core experience to just work out of the box. The small text pack fees simply cover what the carriers charge us. We're not making money on texts — we're just making sure we can keep sending them.

Is my data private? +

Yes. The hub is local to your home — no unnecessary cloud storage. Your phone numbers and press history are encrypted. We never sell or share your information.

Do I need multiple hubs? +

One hub can support multiple buttons. You can add additional buttons for different rooms or different purposes. Each button can be configured to send different SMS messages to different people.

What about smart home integration? +

SMS is our core feature and works out of the box. Smart home integration (Alexa announcements, Google Home, Matter protocol) is on our stretch goal roadmap. If we hit our funding goals, we'll add it. If all you ever need is a text, that works perfectly too.

Press it once. Get a text. That's it.
