Dock once.
Swap cards forever.
DockFrame is a modular USB-C hub that takes the Framework Expansion Cards you already own, plus our own Tool Cards that turn it into a multimeter, power supply, and more. The same cards work in your dock, your Framework laptop, or any USB-C device. And it's fully open hardware: schematics, firmware, and case files included.
