KEYLESS App + K.Less LOCK
to get rid of locks
THERE'S NO KEY SOLUTION
The key here is a clue
The key gives an access to something valuable: storage, bike, car or house. However, my idea is rather sharing than opening. In order to make this 10^9+ we need to change everything in our culture: thinking (owner's thinking); legal procedures, economy, distribution. The old key locks the creativity. These doors could have been open and certain resources could have been accessible.
The important step is to change perception of the keys and locks. We have to create a grid of interconnected locks and keys. It's a tricky thing.

Unlocking the Locked doors
Before the lock
The lock was the only alternative to this simple lock for security. The door would have been posting a guard.
This used to be a first dematerialization of security made at the ancient Egypt. The next target is the key itself.

Long way from owning to sharing
From commute-bus sharing to carsharing to... peer-to-peer education, peer-to-peer travel experiences or peer-to-peer accommodation.

Humans have been using old-fashioned keys opening simple tumbler locks for thousands of years. Next big shift lies not in technology, but in psychology. Is it safe? Is it strong? Is it affordable? Is it mine?
Smart phone. Smart home.
Lock veterans like Yale and Schlage along with a burgeoning number of startups — intend to lead the way toward a keyless future. This year, both companies announced new connected locks that will open with the swipe of a smartphone or even the sound of your voice. Schlage's new Sense lock works with Apple HomeKit so you can use Siri to open your deadbolt. It also works with an old-fashioned key.

QUESTION
What about competitors?
August. Skybell. Kwikset. Latch.
Yes. We read the news about Yale, Schlage and Lockitron locks. "So why we need to create new locks?"
Because they need to be cheaper. 10X, 100X.
And there's no room for outdated technologies like AA batteries.
