My weekends at home over the last year have mainly consisted of attempting more recipes than I can count. From perfecting my go-to cookie recipe [1] to cooking veggies in a new way [2] (thanks, TikTok!), I have tried it all.
At first, I worked through my favourite cookbooks. Then, I organised printed recipes in a binder. Eventually, I finished those recipes and no longer had access to a printer, so I resorted to keeping it digital. Propped up on the counter, my phone, laptop, and iPad have all suffered the consequences. The screens have been covered in everything from icing sugar flying off my mixer to brownie batter spilling on its way to the oven.
That's when I found Twelve South's new HoverBar Duo [3], an adjustable tablet and phone stand, which quickly replaced the miniature easel that previously held my iPad. Using the included shelf clamp, my iPad now securely floats at eye level (far from any spills!), freeing up extremely valuable counter space in my Brooklyn apartment.
The HoverBar Duo also includes a weighted desktop stand, making my phone or tablet a second screen by simply changing the arm's base — it truly elevates my work-from-home setup. That said, the possibilities are endless. From filming a great TikTok [4] at any angle to FaceTiming family members, read along to see what else the HoverBar Duo can do.
