ESR just launched a Kickstarter campaign for an unprecedented, Apple-certified 100-watt 6-in-1 charging station with GaN technology to juice up all your devices.

The company called the device — which can charge iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch and AirPods simultaneously — the “world’s first” of its kind. You can preorder it now at a 20% discount. And it may serve all your charging needs.

ESR designed its “groundbreaking” new charger with gallium nitride (GaN) technology to powers up all of your Apple devices at once. Up to six of them.

“We are excited to introduce our 6-in-1 charging station to Apple users who want a simplified and efficient charging solution,” said Tim Wu, CEO of ESR, in a press release Tuesday. “Our goal is to transform the way people charge their devices, and we believe this Kickstarter campaign will help us achieve that.”

Here’s how ESR described the new charging station:

With its compact design and advanced technology, the charging station eliminates the clutter of multiple chargers and cables, providing a seamless charging experience for Apple enthusiasts.
