Simple, powerful & drop-dead gorgeous

iPhone Sheets

The Paper Stack Metaphor

Daedalus makes way with file lists of old. Folders, documents, extensions? There’s none of this. There’s just an infinite amount of stacks, holding an infinite amount of sheets.

Interaction is fully gesture-based: Swipe to navigate, tap to edit, pinch to close. It’s intuitive, natural, and beautifully animated.

iPhone Action

Fully Committed: Universal iCloud

Daedalus Touch is a universal app – you buy once, and use it on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Turn on iCloud to effortlessly sync your writings across all your devices, and have a backup ready whenever you need it.

Apropos backups: Daedalus supports syncing to Dropbox, Box.com or any WebDAV server. Security by diversity. Just in case.

iPhone ePub

From Text to ePub, Markdown* Style

Write in Daedalus, beef up in Pages? Sure. Just “open in”, or email, print, share TXT, PDF, RTF or ePub – it’s all there. Attachments, single & multiple files, zipped and unzipped… no compromises, just endless export love.

*Markdown conversion is offered during export.

Showtime, baby
Let’s dance

A SOULMEN APP

Daedalus Touch was thought-up, designed, built and originally released in spring 2011 for Apple’s revolutionary iPad. We set out to capture its magic of touch- and gesture-based interactions to breathe… life into the rather dull tasks of text editing and file organization.

We believe we’ve succeeded, and we truly hope that you'll have as much fun working with Daedalus as we had dreaming it up. Get in touch (no pun). Let us know how it fares.
