IdeaMason is much more than a simple organizational database: it's a full-featured, comprehensive research and writing tool. Not only does it help you capture and organize your ideas, it also turns them into fully formatted drafts, complete with citations.
This layered application provides a structure that not only helps organize your research, but literally helps you break down the critical junctures in your thoughts.
IdeaMason doesn't just provide notes attached to a source. It offers a place where you can write for a minute, an hour, or an afternoon. It lets you collect your ideas and build on them over time, linking them with related research and new ideas as you move from activity to activity.
IdeaMason provides a set of tools that augment the intuitive process of thinking and writing. Ask yourself what you want to do with the idea or source you just captured, and you will probably find that IdeaMason can do it.

- Capture your ideas: IdeaMason's dynamic, multi-dimensional Portfolio lets you store all your ideas, sources and cited materials, and then organize, subdivide and connect them. You'll not only be more organized and work more effectively, you'll also see your ideas and their relationships more clearly.

- Outline, organize, and compose: IdeaMason's unique Composition technology lets you simply drag-and-drop materials from your portfolio to organize and outline your draft. Your compositions work with your source items seamlessly, letting you easily re-organize, modify, and re-purpose material whenever you want.

- Review what others have to say...
- “It's just about the coolest, most intuitive research tool I've ever seen! The product is simply wonderful - I've been looking for something like this for years! It really is a wonderful way of going about constructing/composing a research project.”
- “I was looking for bibliographic software and this suits my needs perfectly, but what I really like is the way it helps me organize my ideas.”
- “I like the way you can link ideas. IdeaMason encourages me to jot down ideas before I have fully developed them and link them with other ideas over time. I now find myself capturing critical junctures in my thought process.”
- “I think you might have a 'killer application' here. I use software like Zoot, Brainstorm, and InfoHandler, but an application that combines collecting and outlining was missing (and I have tried dozens of programs). Thanks again for your wonderful support.”
- “I now find that I cannot write without IdeaMason - does that make me a convert or an addict?!? :-). I just don't know how I made it so long without the product. The weight of organization has been lifted from my shoulders so that I may concentrate on the important stuff - the content!”
