AppStrap® Aviation Kneeboards – Tablet Mounts for Every Cockpit

AppStrap® was founded in 2011 by pilot Mark Pestal with a simple but powerful mission: to create kneeboards that support the everyday needs of modern aviators using iPads®, tablets, and electronic flight bags (EFBs). From the start, AppStrap® products have been engineered by pilots, for pilots—emphasizing functionality, durability, and affordability.

AppStrap® kneeboards are trusted by a wide range of aviation professionals—from military and commercial pilots to NASA, charter operations, and everyday GA flyers. Whether you're using ForeFlight®, Garmin Pilot®, Jeppesen®, or WingX Pro®, AppStrap® helps keep your device stable, visible, and easy to access in any aircraft environment.

The brand is committed to innovation and quality, offering tailored kneeboard solutions for tablets of all sizes, with and without rugged cases. With clip-strap and gel-case models, pilots can choose the right system to match their flying style and device setup. Each product is proudly made in the USA and backed by aviation-grade craftsmanship.
