The Business
toketaWare is a small software development business based in the UK (just outside York.) When I say small, I mean really small. Currently it's just me Craig Scott.
In addition to the iThoughts mindmap products, toketaWare also builds/maintains makeDoc and makeSlides (iOS apps for converting Markdown, OPML and text into MS Word and PowerPoint files.)
The name
Toketa is a term used in Judo to describe when a person has escaped from being pinned down i.e. they've broken free. Seemed apt somehow - software that sets you free. That's the goal anyhow!
