The internet is full of gadgets you will use twice. These are the opposite: quiet, practical products that you will reach for every day without thinking about them.

One charger for everything

A compact GaN charger replaces the tangle of bricks in your bag and charges a laptop, phone and earbuds at once.

Expand your laptop's ports

A USB-C hub gives back the HDMI, USB-A and card readers that modern laptops dropped.

Fix your desk posture

Lifting a laptop screen to eye level is one of the cheapest ergonomic improvements available.
