Record Your Ideas with Idea Organizer for iPhone

Sometimes you just have too much stuff in your mind: work, friends, books, that app you found and you’d like to hack. We’re humans, it’s absolutely normal to forget things sometimes.

But, we’re iPhone users as well and you know..

..there’s an app for that.

Today I’d like to talk about this little gem I’ve discovered in the App Store, Idea Organizer.

The concept behind this app is very straightforward: it’s an organizer for your ideas. You can save text notes, pictures and even voice memos.

Pretty simple, huh?

The fact is, I’ve never seen such a beautiful organizer. I mean, I’vc tried many note taking / note organizers apps, but none of them had the stunning interface Idea Organizer has. The main color is grey, with a gradient sliding all over from the top; there are then 3 “floating ballons” which are the shortcuts for creating a new idea, browse all the saved ideas or take a picture / choose from library.

Once you’ve created a new idea, the lamp turns on. This is pure class.

While browsing the ideas you’ve saved, you can attach voice memos or record a new one. Please note that the microphone the developer designed is way better than the Apple’s one.

Now, you may think Idea Organizer is just another application with a nice UI. This is not true.

Idea Organizer is both gorgeous and useful. For instance, it’s sitting in my Dock next to Simplenote.

At $0.99, I think you better go to the App Store and buy it.  Mostly because the app will go back to the original price of $1.99 soon!
