The Approachable Framework Makes Any Supported Device Easy to Use

The gadgets that we use these days have so many features and settings that they are becoming frustrating to use. Approachable makes it easy to turn any device into a Walk-Up-And-Use System, so that they have all of the features but none of the headaches. Interaction with Approachable devices is done wirelessly using a smartphone or tablet, without any complicated setup or pairing.

No Extra Apps

Approachable devices work with most new phones. Everything you need to control the device is automatically pulled from the web when it is needed .

No Pairing

Approachable devices do not require tedious pairing or setup procedures. Start by tapping your phone against the device or selecting it from your notifications. That's it!

No More Blinky Lights

Approachable devices present easy to understand diagnostics and user-friendly control interfaces. No more instructions telling users to hold down four buttons until a light blinks three times.
