Haven
If your hotel room has a safe, how safe are your valuables? The security app Haven keeps watch and is designed to ensure that your possessions are safe when you leave your hotel room. Although this app is only available on the android mobile devices, it is worth it because of the safety it provides to its users. Micah Lee, a computer security engineer, wrote a piece about how efficient this app is when it comes to protecting your belongings like your laptop. He said, Haven connects to your mobile device’s microphone, and camera to catch any movement in the room. If someone comes into the room, you’ll be notified.

OpenKey
One of the apps that I would encourage you to get if you plan to travel this summer is OpenKey. Hotels have been recommending that guests download this app to use as their room key. With this app you don’t have to stress about losing your room key anymore, you download the app, plug in your room number, and place your phone above the lock. This app is guaranteed to keep you safe since it eliminates the stress of losing your room key and break ins. You can learn more about the OpenKey app by clicking here.
There is excitement to travel again and enjoy time out of our homes, but it’s important to always keep safety top of mind. Safety can easily be forgotten when you’re on vacation and that’s why these apps are helpful. They provide the luxury to manage all your safety needs in one place.
