Why You Keep Missing Important Messages While Working
If you work at a laptop all day, you've probably had this happen.

You're deep in focus mode. Cranking through emails. Finishing that presentation. Headphones on, notifications muted. Finally in the zone.
Then later maybe an hour, maybe three, you pick up your phone and your stomach drops.
Three missed calls from your boss. An expired OTP you needed 20 minutes ago. A "where are you?" text from a client. A delivery you missed.
You think: "I really need to check my phone more often."
But you're sitting right there, staring at your screen. Your iPhone is...where? Somewhere on your desk. Face-down. Or maybe under a stack of papers. Plugged in and charging, maybe.
The reason you keep missing notifications isn't that you're distracted. It's that your phone isn't in your eyeline when you need it most. It's a design issue, not a user issue.
Here's the real problem: When your phone is flat, out of sight, or off to the side, it might as well be in another room. Messages, calls, OTPs, and reminders go unseen while you're locked into the work on your screen.
You probably thought it was just you.
That you need to get better at checking your phone. That you should stay more aware.
But if you ask other people working at desks (WFH pros, creators, gamers, students), you'll hear the same frustration:
"I keep missing calls and texts during the day."
They technically called it "phone blindness."
Your iPhone is in your workspace, but you can only notice it if you actively look away from your work. And if you're deep in something (email, a spreadsheet, a video call) you don't think to glance around for a buzzing phone until it's too late.
The solution? A complete rethinking of how desk charging should work.
You probably already know that wireless chargers exist.
Flat pads, stands, 3-in-1 setups, they're all over Amazon and Best Buy.
But here's what most of them get wrong: they keep your iPhone flat or tucked away, which means you still have the same problem. Your phone charges, sure, but you can't see it without leaning over or picking it up.
There's a better fix. And it's not just another flat pad.
How CHARGAMI was built differently
CHARGAMI started with one question: What if your iPhone could charge and stay visible at the same time?
The fix isn’t ‘check your phone more.’ It’s in-view charging so notifications live in your peripheral vision while you work.
Instead of another flat charging pad, we designed a stand that keeps your iPhone upright beside your monitor at the perfect angle to see notifications at a glance, without breaking focus.
It uses MagSafe, so your phone snaps into place magnetically. No sliding. No "did it charge?" anxiety. Just drop it on and it locks into position.
Plus, it charges your Apple Watch and AirPods from the same base. One stand, one cable, three devices.
Credibility: Let me tell you
We're not saying wireless charging is new. It's not.
MagSafe has existed for a few years now but here's what we learned.
Most chargers prioritize nightstand use over desk use. They're designed for you to set your phone down at night and forget about it until morning.
That's fine if you never work at a desk.
But if you're someone who spends hours at a laptop, who needs to stay connected without constantly checking your phone, who values a clean workspace...then the "out of sight" charging setup doesn't work.
CHARGAMI was specifically designed for in-view desk charging. Your iPhone becomes a second screen for notifications while staying charged and ready.
