Our history

It all began back in 2008 when our co-founders Jon Reynolds and Dr. Ben Medlock realized how slow and frustrating it was to type on touchscreens and put their heads together to solve this problem. Our first app launched on Android in 2010 and we arrived in the Apple App Store in 2014.

Our first app launched on Android in 2010 and we arrived in the Apple App Store in 2014.
