Beautiful and humane editorial tools
We are a creative technology startup solving problems to do with digital content production and publishing.
Contentment
Better content production
The iPad has revolutionised the market for ebooks and digital magazines, promising a better user experience for readers, as well as new revenue for publishers.
But many publishers are finding it difficult and time consuming to prepare content for mobile delivery, at least not without hiring an army of coders. We aim to fix that.
Our first product
We’re soon to release a new product, Padify, that makes it easier for publishers to produce content that looks great on tablets and smartphones.
Padify is designed to play nicely with your existing magazine or book production workflow. It’s low cost and low risk.

About us
We believe editorial staff should be given great tools to work with, that offer every bit as good a user experience as the best consumer apps. We want to build a happier and more productive workplace.
We’re not interested in building platforms. The web is the platform. Instead, we use cloud infrastructure, open source software, and agile development to build point solutions that play nicely with existing processes and systems.
We’re based in Shoreditch, London.
