Branch Paper Holder Clips onto Your Screen to Make Notes Easier to Read - Yanko Design

"Most laptop workflows still involve paper, even in 2026. Printed briefs, handwritten notes, and reference sheets end up flat on the desk, which means you spend half your day bobbing your head between the screen and the table. That constant neck crane breaks focus and feels ridiculous when you are just trying to check a few lines of code or compare a contract clause, but there is nowhere else for the paper to go."

"Branch is a slim paper holder designed specifically for laptops. It clips onto the edge of your screen and swings out like a branch growing from a trunk, lifting notes, photos, or documents into the same visual plane as your display. The designers wanted something that not only holds documents for easy viewing but also feels more considered and minimal than the generic office-supply stands that usually sit on desks, taking up space."

"Sitting down with a laptop and a printed document, you mount Branch to the screen, rotate it until it sits roughly horizontal with the display, and slide your sheets into the clip at the end. It can hold up to ten A4 pages, so multi-page contracts, code printouts, or study notes stay visible and aligned with your main workspace. The arm rotates both horizontally and vertically, bringing paper into your line of sight instead of leaving it flat below."

Branch clips onto the edge of a laptop screen and swings out to lift notes, photos, or documents into the same visual plane as the display. The arm rotates both horizontally and vertically and angles at about 15 degrees to keep pages from sliding off. The clip accommodates portrait or landscape orientation and holds up to ten A4 pages, keeping multi-page contracts, code printouts, or study notes visible and aligned with the workspace. Branch is 17 cm long, weighs 130 g, fits screens 3–6 mm thick, and is recommended for 13–15.6 inch laptops. The design minimizes desk clutter and reduces head and eye travel during extended laptop sessions.
