The Truly Portable Apple Watch Fast Charger
over 1 year ago – Sun, Dec 18, 2022 at 02:24:18 PM

Hello backers! Our seventh project is live!

Looking to pack light for your next trip? Losing your mind over tangled cables of multiple chargers in your bag? Third-party charger won’t fast charge your Apple Watch? You asked we listened. After 6 months of design, prototyping, and refining, we are thrilled to bring you Maco Go 2 - the smallest Apple Watch fast charger.

Retaining its mobility and thoughtful design, Maco Go 2 allows you to do more with your Apple Watch, be it traveling, trekking, or simply a day in the office. Its fast-charging capability brings your watch back to life 50% faster.

To improve product reliability and compatibility with future Apple Watch models, we designed Maco Go 2 to be MFi certified. As a result, product cost is increased threefold. But we've decided to absorb much of the cost difference to ensure Maco Go 2 is priced competitively.

We have limited Early Bird reward for Maco Go 2. We could say a lot more, but we’re going to let our Kickstarter video do the talking.

Thank you for your support, both then and now.

Loke, Jim, and Hellomaco team.

Shipping Address Lockdown, Hellomaco Rebranding, Our First Logo and Production Update#3
over 2 years ago – Sat, Oct 09, 2021 at 10:15:27 AM

Hi backers!

Backerkit survey reminder

Time flies, it's been more than 4 months since this project funding ended. With the product scheduled to ship in November, we would like to remind you to fill up the Backerkit survey if you haven't done so. Currently 87% of the backers filled up the survey, however 66 backers still did not complete it. We have send out a reminder email today (from [email protected]) so do check both inbox and spam folders in case you missed it. We will be locking down the shipping address in by end of October to prepare for fulfillment. There is also one card transaction error in Backerkit. If you have purchased any add on in Backerkit, do double confirm if the transaction went thru. 

Hellomaco and new logo

8 years since we started the journey with Kickstarter, we are excited to announce that we are rebranding the company as Hellomaco. And Maco Wing is renamed as WING. Why, you ask? We realized Hellomaco is more inclusive for our current and future offerings, whereas Maco was directly associated to cable organizers. Besides, we also faced some pushback from Apple as they claimed Maco is somewhat similar to MAC (still don't think it has any resemblance, but we risk running into costly lawsuit which detrimental for humble startups like us).

  On the bright side, we finally come out with our first Logo! A minimal "M" to match our product design language. Some Easter eggs in the logo: A magnet cue that signifies our first product - magnetic cable organizer. An inverted smiley to remind us of staying resilient amidst adversity. And a hidden "3" denotes our original name Three1Design. Let us know what you think!

Production Update #3

With the logo update, our production date is pushed back by 2 weeks. However we are still expect to ship by November, in line with our promise during project launch. Can't wait to see the WING in action with your phone!

P.S. Only two weeks to go for TRACE - Stealth AirTag Bike Mount! Our latest project has been well received, hitting over 1400% funded with more than 1000 backers. Check it out here before campaign ends.
