A Versatile Hub For All Your USB Devices

PowerUp lets you connect and sync all your USB devices with new USB-C model MacBooks. Mix and match up to three USB devices to get the most out of your MacBook: external keyboard or mouse, external hard drive, USB thumb drive, you name it. Don’t be limited by the new USB-C port; make everything compatible with PowerUp.

 

Faster Data Transfer

Charge Your Phone and Tablet 2x Faster

Unlike other USB-C hubs, PowerUp can also be used as a charging station to directly charge 3 USB devices and 1 USB-C device without going through your computer. When used as a charging station, PowerUp can even charge phones and tablets 2x faster than their standard charger!

 

Grab and Go

No more carrying around tons of dongles and chargers. PowerUp is about the same size as a standard MacBook charger and makes it easier to pack up and get moving when it’s time to go. PowerUp means more bag space and less hassle!

 

Best Value Out There 

With a pledge of $69, you can get PowerUp for the exact same price as a standard Apple MacBook USB-C charger. Why waste your money on expensive hubs or cumbersome dongles and chargers? Keep everything all in one place with PowerUp. 

 

Why Did We Create PowerUp?

Let's face it: these days we're pretty bogged down by all the chargers we have to lug around with us to keep our technology juiced up and running. Then, the new generation of MacBooks introduced an entirely new port type and brought USB-C dongles into the mix! What's more, with the new MacBook Pro's short battery life, you always have to carry a charger around anyway. So we thought, why not create a better charger that can solve all of these problems in one?

PowerUp is our streamlined solution to these pesky everyday issues that we're sure others are having too. PowerUp has simplified our own lives, and now we hope it can simplify yours too!

PowerUp=Power+Hub

FAQ

Can PowerUp be used without being plugged into a wall socket?

Does PowerUp work with my computer (i.e. 15" MacBook Pro)?

PowerUp is a USB-C type charger that was designed for the latest generation MacBook (2015+) and MacBook Pro (2016+). PowerUp has been rigorously tested with these computer models, including both the 13" and 15" versions of MacBook Pro!
