3mm profile
Thin enough that your hand does not notice it is there.
Palm rest wear happens faster than most people expect
Every watch bracelet or clasp meets the palm rest with each keystroke. On an aluminium MacBook, that daily contact shows up as fine scuffs within weeks, whether the watch is a dive watch, a dress watch, or anything with a metal link. ChronoPad® adds a thin, low profile barrier exactly where your wrist rests, so you keep the watch on and keep the finish clean.
- Protects the palm rest from bracelet contact
- Clean fit on every MacBook finish
- Comfortable during long typing sessions
- Easily removed without residue
The problem
Protect your MacBook’s palm rest
A watch is made to be worn, including while you work. But typing on a MacBook every day means the bracelet or clasp keeps brushing against the palm rest. Over time, this shows up as small scratches, scuffs, or a dulled finish on the aluminium. ChronoPad® reduces that daily friction with a soft, low profile protective layer exactly where your wrist rests.
The result: you keep wearing your watch while working on your MacBook, without watching for contact between metal and aluminium every time you type. ChronoPad® is cut to fit modern MacBooks cleanly, with a minimal look that disappears into your setup.

Made for everyday typing
Palm rest protection for watch wearers
ChronoPad® is built for anyone who wears a watch, metal bracelet, or clasp while using a laptop. Instead of taking the watch off every time you sit down to work, you place a protective barrier between your wrist and the MacBook. This keeps the palm rest free of visible marks while cutting down direct contact with the bracelet.
Each ChronoPad® is made for everyday use, whether you work from home, at the office, while travelling, or in a studio. It stays comfortable through long typing sessions, applies in minutes, and comes off without leaving residue when used correctly.

Each set contains two pads, one for each side of the trackpad, and both pads in a set share the same dimensions. These are the outer dimensions of a single pad.
| ChronoPad | Cut for | Width | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13″ | MacBook Air 13″ | 83 mm | 86 mm |
| 14″ | MacBook Pro 14″ | 86 mm | 86 mm |
| 16″ | MacBook Pro 16″ | 93 mm | 105 mm |
A ChronoPad is not a plain rectangle: the last 5 mm along the front edge is narrower so it stays clear of the trackpad, measuring 72 mm on the 13″, 75 mm on the 14″ and 82 mm on the 16″. Applied correctly the pad leaves 3 mm to the keyboard and 5 mm to the trackpad.
ChronoPad® is designed and cut for MacBook decks, so we cannot promise a perfect fit on another brand. The pad itself attaches the same way on any clean, flat surface, so if the measurements work it will do exactly the same job.
Measure the usable area of your palm rest, between the keyboard and the front edge and between the side and the trackpad, and compare it with the sizes above. One warning about screen size: a 16″ Windows laptop usually has a noticeably shallower palm rest than a MacBook Pro 16, so the 16″ ChronoPad is often too deep for it. Choose the size that matches your measurements, not the size that matches your screen. Every order has a 30 day return window if it turns out not to sit right.
ChronoPad® is a soft protective pad for your MacBook palm rest. It sits exactly where your wrist rests while you work and helps prevent scratches caused by watches, metal bracelets or jewellery.
If you often work on your MacBook while wearing a watch, bracelet or jewellery, the palm rest can get scratched over time. ChronoPad® helps protect that area while still feeling soft and comfortable on your skin.
ChronoPad® is available in Space Black, Silver and Midnight. These colours are designed to blend in nicely with popular MacBook finishes.
Yes, ChronoPad® is designed to blend in with MacBook finishes, so it protects your palm rest without looking out of place.
ChronoPad® is made in three sizes, each cut for a specific deck: the 13″ for the MacBook Air 13″ (83 × 86 mm per pad), the 14″ for the MacBook Pro 14″ (86 × 86 mm) and the 16″ for the MacBook Pro 16″ (93 × 105 mm). If your MacBook is one of those models, pick the matching size and it fits as designed.
Older or smaller MacBooks, and laptops from other brands, are not covered by a dedicated size. That does not always mean it will not work: measure the usable area of your palm rest and compare it with the three sizes above. If one of them fits your measurements, the pad will do the same job.
Yes, you can order multiple ChronoPad®s at once. This is useful for teams, companies, events or branded business gifts.
Yes, customisation for companies is possible. You can contact us through the contact form to discuss the options, quantities and design possibilities.
