The Shuffle Wallet 2.0 combines an innovative fan-style card mechanism, premium aluminum construction, MagSafe compatibility, and an integrated Find My tracker to offer a fresh take on the minimalist wallet.

Minimalist wallets have become increasingly popular over the past few years, promising slimmer pockets and quicker access to everyday essentials. While many follow the same formula of stacking cards inside a compact aluminum frame with a pop-up ejection mechanism, meaningful innovation in the category has been relatively rare. I’ve tested several minimalist wallets over the years, but none have become my daily wallet.

The Shuffle Wallet 2.0 aims to change that with a fresh approach to card organization and accessibility. Instead of simply pushing cards upward in a staggered stack, its patented fan-style mechanism spreads cards out so you can instantly see and select the one you need.

About the Shuffle Wallet 2.0

The Shuffle Wallet 2.0 is a premium minimalist wallet designed to make carrying and accessing everyday essentials faster and more convenient. Built from lightweight aluminum, the wallet combines a slim profile with durable construction while offering RFID protection for contactless cards. In addition to its unique card access system, the Shuffle Wallet 2.0 includes a built-in rechargeable tracker compatible with Apple’s Find My network and Android’s Find Hub, helping users locate a misplaced wallet without the need for a separate tracking accessory.

The wallet also features a Quick Draw slot for frequently used cards, MagSafe compatibility for supported smartphones, and optional modular accessories for added versatility. Designed for users who prefer a streamlined everyday carry, the Shuffle Wallet 2.0 balances modern functionality with a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

Features

• Innovative Fanning Mechanism: Instantly see every card
• 34% lighter & 12% slimmer than Shuffle Wallet 1.0
• Quick Draw Slot: Effortless, one-handed card access
• MagSafe Ready: Secure, instant magnetic attachment
• Built-in Tracker: Instantly pinpoint your wallet’s location via your phone
• RFID Blocking: Ensures privacy, security and identity protection
• Modular Build: Easily expandable with add-ons

Specifications

• Dimensions: 4.3” x 2.5” x 0.57” (109.3 x 64.5 x 14.5 mm)
• Weight: 5.29 oz (150 g)
• Card Capacity: Holds up to 7 cards
• MagSafe Compatible: iPhone Pro Max models only

Pricing & Availability

The list price for the wallet is $139.99, but it’s currently being offered for $99.99 (at the time of publishing) on shuffle.life.

User Experience

Getting started with the Shuffle Wallet 2.0 couldn’t have been much easier. Aside from loading my cards into the wallet, there was virtually no setup required. Pairing the built-in tracker with Apple’s Find My network was equally straightforward. After fully charging the wallet using the included magnetic charging cable, I pressed the power button, and it was immediately recognized by Find My as a “Square tag.” From there, I assigned it an icon and added it to my devices, completing the setup process in just a few minutes.

My first impression of the wallet was positive. The Forged Carbon finish gives it a modern, premium appearance while maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Despite its aluminum construction, it doesn’t feel overly heavy, and its dimensions are comparable to a traditional wallet while remaining noticeably thinner than the bifold wallet I normally carry. The build quality also inspired confidence. Having tested several minimalist wallets with similar card ejection mechanisms, I’ve seen some develop problems or break over time. The Shuffle Wallet 2.0 feels substantially more solid and well constructed.

During my testing, I carried between six and seven cards, including four credit cards, my driver’s license, and two insurance cards. The retention system held everything securely, even when I reduced the load to only two or three cards. I never felt like the cards would slip out, regardless of how many I was carrying.

The wallet’s fan mechanism is its standout feature. While the thumb slider requires a little more force than I expected, it consistently deploys the cards for quick access. The cards don’t always spread into a perfectly even fan, and the middle cards can occasionally be a bit harder to grab, but I still found the design more intuitive than the staggered ejection systems used by many competing wallets because it makes identifying the correct card much easier. Inserting cards requires slightly more effort than removing them, although this became less noticeable after a few days of use.

For everyday carry, the wallet proved comfortable in both my front and back pockets. Its footprint is similar to that of a compact smartphone, and the smooth, rounded edges made it easy to slide into a pocket without catching on clothing.

I also tested the wallet’s MagSafe functionality with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. The magnetic connection felt secure during normal use and held the wallet firmly in place. However, attaching it noticeably increased the phone’s thickness, making the combination less comfortable to carry for extended periods. While the feature is convenient when you want to keep everything together, I generally preferred carrying the wallet separately.

The built-in tracker performed reliably throughout my testing. Apple’s Find My network located the wallet quickly, and location updates appeared without delay. I also tested the audible alert, but the speaker was quieter than I expected. The alert uses a higher-pitched tone that was difficult for me to hear because of my hearing loss, and there are currently no options to adjust the volume or change the sound.

Charging the tracker was the one aspect of the experience that felt less refined. Although the proprietary magnetic charging cable is simple to connect, it can be knocked loose fairly easily while charging. Because the cable is unique to the wallet, it also means you’ll need to keep track of it, since a standard USB-C cable can’t be used as a replacement.

After several days of daily use, the fan mechanism remained my favorite feature. It offers a genuinely different way to access cards and makes selecting the one you need faster than many traditional minimalist wallets. Overall, the Shuffle Wallet 2.0 is best suited for people who primarily carry cards and want a slim, premium everyday wallet. Those who regularly carry cash may find its minimalist design a bit limiting.

Conclusion

The Shuffle Wallet 2.0 brings meaningful innovation to a product category where many designs have become increasingly similar. While there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly the proprietary magnetic charging cable and the relatively quiet tracker speaker, neither significantly detracts from the overall experience. The wallet consistently performed well throughout my testing, securely holding my cards while remaining comfortable to carry.

If you’re looking for a premium minimalist wallet and primarily carry cards rather than cash, the Shuffle Wallet 2.0 is one of the most compelling options I’ve tested. Its thoughtful design, solid construction, and innovative card access system make it stand out in an increasingly crowded market.

The 100W and 140W GaN chargers are up to 43% smaller than the charger that ships with a Mac, with four ports, global adapters, and a retro-futuristic pixel LED display that makes charging visible.

BMX (Better Mobile Xperience), the mobile power company behind the award-winning SolidSafe™ range, today unveiled GaNsta™ Pixel, a 100W and 140W GaN charger line built around two ideas: make the laptop charger smaller, then make charging visible. GaNsta™ Pixel delivers MacBook-class power in a charger up to 43% smaller than the one it replaces, with a pixel LED display that shows live wattage and gives the charger a reason to be seen GaNsta Pixel available on BMX Website, AmazonUKand coming soon to Amazon US, 140W GaNsta Pixel $89.99/£99.99 on BMX website and AmazonUK, 100W GaNsta Pixel $79.99/£79.99 on BMX website and AmazonUK.

Smaller Than The Charger In Your Bag

The charger that comes with the Mac does the job. It also takes up more room than it needs to. GaNsta™ Pixel starts there: 140W Pixel is 43% smaller than the charger that comes with a MacBook Pro, while 100W Pixel is 37% smaller than the charger that comes with a MacBook Air or 96W-class laptop charger.

The proof is physical: both models measure 62 x 65 x 35.9mm. The smaller body is not a tradeoff, either. The 140W model delivers full-speed MacBook Pro charging from either primary USB-C port. The 100W model is built for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 14-inch, iPad, phones, earbuds, and the rest of a daily carry setup.

Live Wattage With Personality

The pixel LED display is what makes Pixel different. It is useful first: the screen cycles through C1, C2, C3, A1, and TTL views, showing live wattage by port and total output as devices charge. Pixel animations show charging, standby, and fault states, so users can see which port is active and how much power is moving.

It is also the part that gives the charger its character. The retro-futuristic readout turns a normally invisible process into something visible, expressive, and easy to understand at a glance. Gray, Blue, and Orange make Pixel feel like something people would want in their house, on their desk, on a nightstand, or in a travel bag.

One Charger For Travel And Commute

Pixel is built for the bag people actually carry: laptop, phone, tablet, earbuds, and the cables that come with all of them. The four-port layout lets one small charger cover the commute, the desk, the hotel room, and the flight delay without forcing people to pack a separate charger for every device.

The hardware backs that up. USB-C1 and USB-C2 are the laptop-first ports: up to 140W each on the 140W model, or up to 100W each on the 100W model. USB-C3 supports up to 65W for tablets, smaller laptops, or fast-charging phones, while USB-A supports older cables and smaller accessories up to 22.5W. Pixel also includes a foldable US plug, EU/UK/AU adapters, a 1m braided USB-C cable, a suede travel pouch, and a 24-month limited warranty.

From BMX

“We think travelers are going to love seeing 140W laptop power, four ports, and global adapters in a charger that fits in the palm of their hand. Pixel shows the wattage as it charges, and it finally gives people a charger that can stand out and fit their style.”

— Barry Miller, Head of Marketing, BMX

GaNsta™ Pixel Range

GaNsta™ 140W Pixel is the MacBook Pro option: 140W over USB-C with PD 3.1 EPR and 28V support on C1/C2. GaNsta™ 100W Pixel is the compact laptop option for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 14-inch, tablets, phones, and travel setups that do not need 140W.

Full Specifications

Protection Built In

Both Pixel models inherit the GaNsta™ protection stack: overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, overpower protection, electrostatic protection, fire resistant housing, and intelligent temperature management. The GaN chipset has been tested across 17 billion+ hours with fewer than one failure per billion.

Pricing and Availability

GaNsta Pixel available on BMX Website,AmazonUK and coming soon toAmazon US.

TickerNotch transforms your MacBook’s notch or external display into a live dashboard for market data, news, and alerts. Find out how it performed during weeks of real-world testing.

I spend a lot of my day in front of my Mac, whether I’m writing, editing photos, responding to emails, or researching products for reviews. Like many people, I also like to keep an eye on what’s happening in the news and financial markets every so often. The problem is that doing so usually means leaving a browser tab open, checking a trading platform throughout the day, or constantly switching between apps. While none of those things are difficult, they do interrupt my workflow. That’s what caught my attention about TickerNotch. Rather than requiring another window or taking up valuable desktop space, it displays market information in an area that’s normally unused.

What is TickerNotch?

TickerNotch is a native macOS application designed to keep financial market information visible while you work by turning the otherwise unused space around your MacBook’s display notch into a live information hub. On Macs without a notch or when using an external display, the app can create a simulated island that provides the same experience. Rather than relying on a browser tab, menu bar utility, or a dedicated trading platform that consumes valuable desktop space, TickerNotch keeps your watchlist, portfolio performance, news headlines, and alerts in constant view so you can stay informed without interrupting your workflow.

Built by a Trader, for Traders

The app was created by an independent developer whose background is in materials engineering and advanced informatics. After spending nearly a decade trading the financial markets, they found themselves constantly monitoring charts, news feeds, and market data throughout the day. What began as small personal software projects to solve their own workflow challenges eventually led to the development of TickerNotch. Before creating the app, they built HyperBot, a private automated trading system used to manage their own investment accounts. While HyperBot has never been released publicly, the experience of developing software responsible for trading real money around the clock shaped the reliability and production mindset that carried over into TickerNotch.

The concept behind TickerNotch was inspired by both software and hardware. The developer cites boring.notch and the TickrMeter desktop ticker among their biggest influences, along with Apple’s philosophy of transforming hardware limitations into useful features, much like the Dynamic Island on the iPhone. Instead of treating the MacBook’s notch as wasted space, TickerNotch turns the surrounding black areas into a persistent source of useful information. The developer is also expanding this concept beyond the Mac with an upcoming companion iPhone app.

Designed to Keep Market Information in View

TickerNotch is designed primarily for anyone who follows the financial markets while working on a Mac, whether that’s active traders, long-term investors, or users who simply want financial headlines and market information available at a glance. Its centerpiece is the customizable live ticker, which can display a watchlist, portfolio profit and loss, and continuously scrolling RSS news feeds simultaneously. Users can configure native macOS price alerts, and selecting a ticker opens an interactive candlestick chart complete with technical indicators such as RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands. Multiple chart windows can remain open at the same time, and nearly every aspect of the interface, including fonts, colors, scrolling behavior, and animated shader backgrounds, can be customized.

Unlike many competing market applications that either occupy the menu bar or require users to switch into a full trading platform, TickerNotch focuses on keeping information permanently visible while remaining unobtrusive. It uses screen space that would otherwise go unused, allowing users to monitor multiple symbols at once without sacrificing valuable workspace.

Native Performance with a Privacy-First Approach

TickerNotch is built exclusively for macOS 14 Sonoma or later and is written entirely in Swift, SwiftUI, and AppKit without relying on Electron or web-based interfaces. Charts are rendered using SwiftUI Canvas, while market data is delivered through WebSocket connections for cryptocurrency, HTTP polling for stock quotes, and RSS feeds for news. Automatic updates are handled through Sparkle, and despite its capabilities, the entire application is only about 6.5 MB in size.

Privacy is another area where the developer intentionally keeps things simple. TickerNotch does not require an account or collect personal data. The app includes optional anonymous usage statistics, which can be disabled in the Settings menu. According to the developer, these statistics only report high-level feature usage, such as how many ticker slots or weather widgets are enabled, without collecting the contents of that information or any personally identifiable data. Watchlists, settings, and other app data remain stored locally on the user’s Mac, and the application only requests notification permissions for price alerts and internet access to retrieve market data. It does not require screen recording, accessibility, location, or file system permissions. The app is Developer ID signed, notarized, and uses cryptographically signed updates to help ensure a secure installation and update process.

Pricing, Support, and What’s Next

The app is available with a seven-day free trial that doesn’t require a credit card. After the trial, users can continue using a permanent free version that supports one ticker, one news channel, and one alert. Those who need additional functionality can upgrade to Pro, which unlocks unlimited watchlists, chart windows, portfolio tracking, and alerts through monthly or lifetime licensing options. One license can be transferred between Macs, although it may only be active on one machine at a time.

TickerNotch Pro is available for $5 per month or a $40 lifetime license. With a permanent free tier, flexible upgrade options, and a lifetime purchase option, TickerNotch provides users with multiple ways to access the features that best fit their workflow.

As a solo developer, they handle every aspect of the project, from development and testing to customer support and marketing. They also embrace the use of AI coding assistants during development, describing them as collaborative programming tools that accelerate implementation while emphasizing that the architecture, design decisions, testing, and final review of every shipped line of code remain their responsibility.

Looking ahead, the roadmap includes a Focus Mode that expands a single ticker across the entire strip for improved concentration during earnings or other important events, smarter percentage-based alerts that trigger over rolling time windows, support for additional market data providers and broker integrations, a future Mac App Store release, and the launch of TickerNotch for iOS, which brings the same concept to the iPhone.

Main Features

• Live Tickers
• Weather Slots
• Social Counters
• System Metrics
• News, one side or both
• Menu bar pins
• Candlestick charts
• One search box
• No account required
• Privacy-focused design
• Optional anonymous usage statistics (can be disabled)

User Experience

I’ve been using TickerNotch throughout my workday for the past couple of weeks, and it has become one of those utilities that quietly does its job without demanding attention. Despite displaying a constant stream of information, the interface never felt cluttered or distracting. Instead, it strikes a nice balance between keeping important market data, computer specs, and news visible and staying out of the way while I’m writing, editing, or working on other projects.

One of the first things that stood out to me was just how clean the interface is. Everything is easy to read, and I really like that I can decide exactly what information is displayed. Whether it’s stocks, cryptocurrency, weather, news, or other data, it’s simple to tailor the ticker to match my workflow. Even better, any changes I made in the settings were reflected immediately in the ticker, so I could experiment with different layouts without waiting for the app to refresh or restarting it.

Getting started was equally straightforward. Installation only took a few moments, and once the app was up and running, the hardest part was deciding what information I wanted to include in the ticker. The settings are well organized, making it easy to customize the experience without feeling overwhelmed.

Since I spend much of my day working on an external monitor, I was especially happy to see support for the simulated notch on displays without a physical notch. After enabling the feature, TickerNotch worked well on my LG UltraGear monitor, allowing me to keep using the app even when my MacBook Pro was connected to an external display. I also experimented with different display resolutions and found that the simulated notch scaled properly every time, which was reassuring since display scaling can sometimes create unexpected issues.

Over the course of my testing, TickerNotch proved to be reliable. I left it running all day, every day, for a couple of weeks and never experienced a crash or found myself needing to restart the application. It also had no noticeable impact on my Mac’s performance. CPU and memory usage remained low enough that I often forgot the app was running in the background until I glanced up at the ticker for an update.

Overall, I think TickerNotch succeeds because it focuses on doing one job well. It makes excellent use of screen space that would otherwise go unused and provides a convenient way to keep market information and news within view without interrupting my workflow. For anyone who spends long hours at their Mac, especially those who regularly follow the financial markets, it’s a thoughtful utility that quickly becomes part of your daily routine.

I also want to note that this is a fairly new app and the developer has been very responsive to feedback. We suggested a few things that would make the app more useful and he rolled out those features quickly. If you decide to give it a try, and think of something that would make it better, don’t hesitate to reach out as he’s very responsive and open to suggestions.

Conclusion

TickerNotch is one of those utilities that solves a problem you may not have realized you had until you start using it. By transforming the unused space around your MacBook’s notch, or creating a simulated notch on external displays, it keeps market data, news, and other information readily available without cluttering your desktop or interrupting your workflow.

While the app is clearly geared toward investors and traders, anyone who wants glanceable information available throughout the day may find it useful. Combined with a generous free tier and reasonably priced Pro options, TickerNotch delivers an experience that feels polished and genuinely useful. If you spend most of your day working on a Mac and regularly monitor the financial markets, TickerNotch is an easy recommendation.

By pairing Liquid Foundation Models with MacPaw’s own AI stack, the partnership aims to turn Eney into the first Mac assistant that unites on-device intelligence, persistent memory, and native task execution, with more products to follow

 MacPaw and Liquid AI announced a strategic, long-term partnership to co-develop the technology stack for local AI on the Mac. The partnership grows out of a shared vision: the everyday intelligence people rely on should be able to run on their personal computers.

The collaboration combines Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) – which will be designed specifically for macOS AI assistance – with Elix and Mnemos, MacPaw’s own on-device inference and memory technologies. For Mac users, this means AI that’s designed to keep personal data private on their Mac, respond quickly, and handle core tasks even without an internet connection. Eney, MacPaw’s AI assistant for macOS, will be the first product to benefit from this partnership; results are expected later this year. 

Combining Model Efficiency with Deep macOS Engineering

“After almost two decades of building software for the Mac, MacPaw is evolving its standalone products into a connected ecosystem, with AI as a core technology we build and own,” said Oleksandr Kosovan, CEO and founder of MacPaw. “We believe intelligence should live where people work: private by design, fast by default, and be able to reach the cloud when that’s the better tool. By combining MacPaw’s engineering expertise with Liquid AI’s model efficiency, we are building the AI stack for the Mac, one where your personal data stays on device and the heavy lifting happens wherever it makes the most sense.”

Liquid AI’s models already bring on-device intelligence to companies like Mercedes-Benz, Insilico Medicine, and Shopify. 

MacPaw and Liquid AI are jointly building a new local AI architecture for the Mac, with the work running in two directions. 

• Bring Eney’s intelligence on-device: Liquid AI develops and fine-tunes its foundation models for the assistant’s real tasks, so its core work runs locally through Elix on Apple silicon, while cloud models will remain available where they are the better tool. 
• Develop Mnemos, MacPaw’s memory layer, which lets the assistant retain context across interactions and become more useful over time. 

That combination of on-device intelligence, persistent memory, and native macOS task execution in a single product has not existed on the Mac before.

Building Infrastructure for the Mac Ecosystem

“We build efficient foundation models and the tools around them so that companies can bring intelligence onto the devices their customers already use,” said Ramin Hasani, Co-Founder and CEO of Liquid AI. “This partnership will bring efficient, private, on-device LFMs to millions of Mac users.”

For MacPaw and Liquid AI, implementing the on-device AI stack in Eney is the starting point of a longer-term plan. The models, inference framework, and memory layer are designed as shared infrastructure, built for the MacPaw ecosystem of products and beyond. Once deployed in Eney, the same technologies could eventually be made globally available to thousands of Mac developers through Setapp, MacPaw’s unified software marketplace.

New premium USB-C dock connects up to three displays and 14 ports including 100W power, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and 10Gbps USB for Windows and ChromeOS users 

Plugable Technologies, a longtime leader in USB-C and Thunderbolt connectivity solutions for professionals and businesses, today announced the UD-MSTH3, the company’s first triple-display USB-C docking station for Windows and ChromeOS built around driver-free Multi-Stream Transport (MST) technology for triple-display PC setups.

Built for hybrid workers, IT teams, and everyday productivity users, the UD-MSTH3 supports up to three displays, fast charging, and pro-grade connectivity. Windows and ChromeOS users can connect with a single cord for a plug-and-play experience designed around how they actually work.  

“For most docks in this space, manufacturers rely on drivers and software, or expensive Thunderbolt solutions to achieve a solid triple display experience,” said Lynn Smurthwaite-Murphy, CEO of Plugable. “With the UD-MSTH3, we wanted plug-and-play simplicity for Windows and ChromeOS users without the higher price tag. This dock gives users the flexibility to create a workstation that meets their individual display and performance needs.”  

Flexible Display Configurations 

The UD-MSTH3’s focal point is dual 4K 60Hz display output for sharp, high-fidelity visuals. For users who need more screen real estate, the dock also supports triple-display mode, running one display at 4K 60Hz alongside two additional displays at 1080p 60Hz. The dock’s three native HDMI ports make it easier to build a multi-monitor workspace using the HDMI displays already found in most homes and offices. 

Because MST is native to Windows and ChromeOS but not available on macOS, the UD-MSTH3 is designed and optimized specifically for those platforms. Mac users can still connect the dock, but will see one extended display, with any additional monitors mirrored rather than extended. For full multi-monitor support, Plugable recommends its Thunderbolt and DisplayLink-based docks for Mac setups. 

Compatible with full-featured USB-C, USB4, and Thunderbolt 4/5 ports, full high-resolution performance also requires a laptop running an Intel 12th Gen or AMD 6000-series processor or newer. On select DSC-capable hosts, triple-display output may reach 2x 4K 60Hz + 1x 4K 30Hz. Actual support varies by host, graphics, DSC ratio, and display setup. 

Designed for the Modern Desk 

Beyond its display flexibility, the UD-MSTH3 delivers up to 100W of Power Delivery to keep laptops charged during heavy use, along with a dedicated 30W USB-C charge-only port for charging devices like phones and tablets. A 2.5Gbps Ethernet port provides fast, stable wired networking, ideal for video calls, large file transfers, and hybrid office environments. Its space-saving design allows users to stand the dock up or lay it down to better fit their desk. 

Features & Specifications

• Three HDMI 2.0 ports; driverless support for as many as three extended displays on compatible Windows and ChromeOS systems 
• Up to 100W power delivery to the host device
• 2.5Gbps Ethernet connectivity
• Two Front 10Gbps USB-C ports
