Tome

👋 Hi everyone! I’m Keith, cofounder at Tome. Our storytelling app was hunted while we were in beta 7 months ago. We’ve made some major updates since (more on that ⬇️) and launched to general access last month. Given the great response, we’re excited to share Tome 1.0 with more people and drop our first iOS app today. 🎉 Social storytelling on mobile has evolved quite a bit during the past 10 years - think TikTok and IG vs. AIM and MySpace. Weirdly enough, storytelling for big ideas and work hasn't really come along at all. Two years ago, my cofounder Henri and I started to convince ourselves that a great format for big ideas could be valuable in the workplace & the public town square. One connected to the internet, designed for mobile, & focused on the message. That’s why our mission at Tome is to help anyone tell a compelling story: if more people are capable of sharing compelling stories, we believe we get one step closer to a society that acts on its best ideas. In beta, we listened to you - you wanted more customization and branding. So, we built a more powerful text editor and added features like themes and layouts. Then, we were blown away at general access. Signups 10X’d in our first week, and Tome has been used by: - product builders and designers for reviews, strategy plans, and customer education - sales reps and recruiters for closing a client - founders for fundraising and telling their brand story - nonprofits and thought leaders for sharing complex ideas We keep hearing that Tome helps people share more polished, persuasive stories, without the wasted time and frustration that come with slides tools. Now we think Tome is ready for you. And, we’re stoked to share our iOS app, which makes creating, editing, and sharing tomes on your smartphone seamless (for those last touches in your Uber to the meeting 😅). We have a lot to build, and really appreciate your feedback. It’s free to create your workspace at tome.app and there’s no trial period, so we hope you try us out. 🙂 We’re here for your q’s / thoughts, so drop us a line :) ⬇️

Sleek, beautiful, and compelling. It's about time for corporate storytelling to join the 21st century where format isn't optimized for being printed out.

So excited for this! The iOS app is such a game-changer for fine-tuning my Tomes on the go and getting to iterate upon my designs. Can't wait to see where the product goes!

Congrats with the launch! I'm a startup founder and Tome changed the way how I pitch. On most networking events Google slides are just useless because you can't literally do nothing from the phone. This is where Tome steps in. Easy flow, easy creation and easy pitches powered by Tome. More to improve here but happy to be an early user. Good luck!

Really intuitive and easy-to-use!

This is looking suuuuppppeeerrrr sleek. Congrats to the team, it's about time the presentation space got a jolt of new thinking.

Slide presentations are the one area of office productivity that remains stuck in the 90s. But this isn't just a "faster horse" (a shinier, more online version of presentation slides) but about expanding what presenting ideas and communicating stories can be with the tools and resources we have now. Tome manages to present a new canvas for our ideas that can also be built with the ease of use and intuitiveness of the best tools we remember, getting out of its own way and making it easy to do great and very hard to do badly. The iOS app expands upon that, reformatting the content to work on a cellphone screen and allowing for easy content entry on the fly as well.
