Brainey App

Niamh Malone is the founder of BraineyApp and an inspiration. After suffering from a brain injury, it took a while to settle back into life. Although she was recovering, she realised that she unfortunately wouldn’t be able to go back to work and created this app to help others in her situation. Currently in its early stages, BraineyApp has the potential to make big changes to many people’s lives.

Wonder

Aptly named, this set of mobile apps allows users to create sleek and wonderful videos with only imagination and a phone. The app is stocked with video templates created by professional filmmakers which are so intuitive and easy to use that fantastic and shareable content can be created in only 3 minutes without any prior knowledge of creating films!

BeeRaider

If you type in English, them you’ll assume that the QWERTY keyboard layout was the only layout that keyboard use. BeeRaider believe that that most keyboards work against our human nature and have created a set of keyboards which seem to have a more intuitive design and could increase productivity at work!

Trupe

This app is all about bring people together. When the app is opened, it uses location-services to create an immersive multi-person visual folder (trupe) in real-time at events. Anyone with the app (known affectionate as ‘trupers’), can create and share event-specific content which lasts for 24 on the trupe.
