the first truly ergonomic iPad stand for artists

Darkboard brings versatility to your workspace — whether that’s at your desk or on the go! The Darkboard iPad drawing stand accommodates three different setups:

Hands use a stylus on a tablet in darkboard displaying a colorful botanical pattern. The tablet is supported by a black stand on a white marble table, with a cozy chair in the background.

Easel Setup

Perfect for drawing or writing, this setup lays your Darkboard at a comfortable 30-degree angle.

Vertical Setup

Flip your Stand around to set up your Darkboard in a vertical, desktop-like position. This is great for using your iPad as a primary or secondary monitor while working.

Lightweight

Darkboard weighs less than the box it’s shipped in! It’s rigid enough to provide support and durability, all while maintaining a lightweight profile.

Secure

The protective iPad cradle is made of polycarbonate, one of the strongest plastics available. Your iPad fits snuggly in the cradle so it won’t fall out.

Crafted from Leatherfoam Cushion: Darkboard is made from premium EVA that balances sturdy rigidity with supportive cushion. It’s the same material used in high-performance sports equipment. 

Grippy surface texture: The subtle grainy texture gives a comfortable grip while you’re seated in place or on the move.

Ergonomic grooved handles: Angular grooves closely mimic the ergonomics of steering wheels designed to minimize fatigue during long drawing sessions.
