Branchfire develops productivity software and tools that simplify how people work with and share information. More than one million people around the world – from students and teachers to top Wall Street investors, lawyers and Hollywood screenwriters – use software powered by Branchfire to improve the way they work.

Branchfire’s award-winning iAnnotate app allows users to read, mark up and share documents and images via an iPad or Android tablet. The company also offers an enterprise version of iAnnotate for large organizations as well as a powerful software development kit (SDK) that enables businesses and developers to incorporate secure document reading and annotation features to custom and commercial applications. 

Branchfire’s experience developing one of the very first iPad apps has given us a unique perspective on how emerging technology can transform the creative and collaborative process. This insight is helping us build new software that connects words, documents, pictures, and videos in ways that improve the discovery and sharing of ideas.

We call it the next evolution of storytelling.
