Workflow, design and ease-of-use are where we've focussed our efforts with iBlueSky. We've all used software which is bloated, cluttered, confusing and over-featured. But iBlueSky is different; it's a streamlined idea capture tool at your disposal at all times.

A closer look at iBlueSky

Watch this short demo video and get an idea of how iBlueSky can help you become more productive.

Note: This video actually covers iBlueSky version 1. Version 2 offers the same simple and intuitive user interface, but with more features which fall to hand when required. We will be updating the video to cover version 2 shortly.
