Available nowBehind the brand
The small gear that fixes the friction nobody else designed around.
LiteGR is a brand of problem-solving gadgets — small, well-made tools that quietly remove the daily inconveniences most products ignore.
Origin
Why LiteGR exists
Every house has them: the small annoyances nobody bothers to design around. The drink balanced on the armrest. The remote that disappears between cushions. The phone propped against a pillow because there's no good place to put it.
These aren't problems anyone is going to write a tech review about. They're not big enough to launch a startup. But they happen every single evening, in millions of living rooms, and the tools to solve them either don't exist or look like cheap plastic gimmicks.
We started LiteGR to make the small gear that lives quietly in your home — designed with restraint, made with materials that match real furniture, and priced so that buying one isn't a decision you have to think about for a week.
The franchise
Every LiteGR product is a Sidekick.
The Sofa Sidekick was the first. Each future product is named for a specific scenario — Bath, Desk, Car, Bed, Travel.

A wineglass, your phone, a paperback — held safely on the edge of any bathtub.

Coming soonPhilosophy
Engineered for solutions, not features.
Every LiteGR product solves one specific friction. We don't add Bluetooth to things that don't need it. We don't make the cup well bigger so it can hold a flower vase too. Each product does one thing well, and gets out of the way.
This is a discipline, not a limitation. The Sofa Sidekick took eighteen months to get right. We tested seven silicone formulations before settling on the one that grips fabric and leather without leaving residue. We argued about whether the cup well should be 3.5 inches deep or 4. We rejected three different packaging designs before landing on the cream kraft box that ships today.
Restraint is the brand. Less, but better, but actually well-made.
