DESIGN VISUALIZATION
One less thing to think about
Pack less.
Do more.
Your bag already has enough chargers. R1 takes power from your MacBook, so there’s no separate battery to remember before you leave.
Will it fit
your day?
The practical details behind working beyond Wi-Fi. Current design targets; validation is ongoing.
Less setup between you and work.
R1 is designed to use your Mac’s built-in wired networking, without a required driver or app. An optional companion app is in development.
