Scratch-aware contact

Rounded polymer contact points are designed for aluminum and glass edges.

Desk-dish sized

Small enough to live near your laptop, obvious enough to find before closing time.

Details

The tiny object doing a very specific job.

Designed around the one-inch gap.

The CAD model targets a 25.4 mm lid opening so the MacBook stays awake while still looking intentionally closed from across the room.

MacBook edge fit

The lower channel holds the body edge while the upper claw catches the lid lip.

Prototype honest

Current model mass is about 19 g. Test prints can slim it down after fit checks.

Reviews

Social proof for a very physical problem.

Actually solved my desk setup.

I wanted the laptop awake without leaving it open like a tiny billboard. This is the correct amount of silly.

Mira G.

The orange makes sense.

It is visible, it is impossible to confuse with a cable clip, and it does exactly one thing.

Sam R.

Feels like a real object.

The three-prong shape makes it read as a product instead of a random wedge from a parts bin.

FAQ

Before Stripe gets wired up.

Is Stripe connected?

Not yet. The storefront is structured for checkout, but the reserve buttons currently use local UI state only.

Will this fit every laptop?

The prototype is aimed at recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro edge geometry. The CAD parameters can be tuned after test prints.

Why not just change sleep settings?

You can. This is for the people who prefer a physical, visible, desk-friendly reminder that the machine should stay awake.
