ProofButton is a self-powered accountability button. Peel it, stick it anywhere, and when someone presses it, you get a text. No batteries. No wiring. No app required. Just proof that something got done.
No Batteries. No Excuses.
We'll notify you the moment ProofButton is available. No spam, ever.
Three steps. That's all.
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.
One press sends a text notification. The physical act of pressing generates all the electricity needed. No batteries inside. Ever.
You now have proof. A real text message on your phone with a timestamp. No nagging required.

You Get a Text
Any phone. Any carrier.
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.

Everything you need to know about ProofButton
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
