At ioWorld we absolutely love innovation and technology – we’re particular about products that make a real difference to everyone. Not just companies or niche areas, but for consumers and business people alike. Our only rule is that whatever we develop is really simple and really useful.

A Brief History:

Necessity is the mother of invention – a foundation that all good ideas are based upon. And this is certainly true for Alan & Alistair (co-founders) who had their first bright idea (SideNotes) back in 2005 and spent the best part of the next 2 years getting the product specified, patented and built – in their spare time!

It was quite a learning curve and when things started moving, ioWorld was born.

Yet, it wasn’t long before we realised that building SideNotes was probably too ambitious as a first project so we decided to start with a much simpler (but innovative) product which we called Photeleon: An interactive screensaver that did something really useful:

In its essence, Photeleon presented a slideshow of your photos but it was designed to seek out all those photos that you hadn’t renamed yet – you know: the ones that your phone or camera gives a name to (like IMG000621.JPG) – and whilst you were on the phone (usually when your screensaver is activated), you could either rename, rotate, delete or even email the displayed photo with a single mouse click (perfect if you like multi-tasking!).

Building Photeleon also meant that we could afford to make it without any external investment.

With the experience and credibility that developing Photeleon provided, we were soon able to start on SideNotes and other ideas that had been brewing all the while.

At ioWorld we have had lots of ideas; a few which have made it off the note pad and even more that have ended up in the bin. But the single thing that has made the company turn into something tangible has been persistence. Without that, even the best idea in the world would be reduced to an item on someone’s’ to-do list. So, please try our software and let us know what you think. We'd like to hear from you. If you have any suggestions – we’re always open to your input.
