Here are the exact specs.The MacBook itself costs $3,139.04, but payment processing and taxes take a small cut before I can buy it, so the actual funding goal is around $3,323.

Simple, transparent, and one-of-a-kind.
Browse the 10 sticker zones on the lid. Each has a size, location, and a live top bid. Choose the one that fits your brand.
Enter an amount above the current top bid. If someone outbids you before the auction ends, you're notified and can counter.
Auction closes, top bidder wins. Pay securely, send your logo file, and I'll have a professional sticker printed and applied to the lid.
Your brand goes everywhere my Mac goes — cafés, coworking spaces, conferences, and flights. Real-world impressions, every day.
Completely. The MacBook is real (well, imminent), the stickers are real vinyl, and I will travel with it and work with it in public spaces. The only fictional thing is the idea that a laptop lid isn't premium ad inventory.
In short: I need a new laptop + I'm building for iOS = MacBook.
I've been indie hacking for a year and a half now, pretty limited by my old dying laptop whenever I wanted to go somewhere.
I've also started building mobile apps at the beginning of 2026, and building for iOS without a Mac is just the worst (still making some money from them right now). I'd like to finally be able to build in Swift too.
Your brand showing up both on socials and in the real world:
I can't promise you impressions or ROI, just that it goes where I work and appears in some of the stuff I post.
Bidding takes a 20% deposit (minimum 10 €), paid by card when you place the bid. If you don't win, it comes back in full, automatically. If you do, it counts toward the price and I send a payment link for the remainder. Bids are settled in euros; the dollar prices shown are indicative.
You get an honorable mention in the bid history and the chance to swing back. Outbids need to beat the current bid by at least 10 €.
Almost. Every sponsor is approved by hand before anything appears, and I keep the final say on what goes on the lid — it travels with me, after all. If your bid is refused, your deposit comes back in full.
I've been needing one for months, MRR is increasing but I'm still far from being able to afford it at the moment. If this flops, I'll just keep waiting until the day I can get one, but you won't be on it then.
That is the most asked question in the replies, so yes — I'm building it. You set your machine and your prices; the sticker spots, the auction, and everything else is handled for you.
