DataViz’s mission is to create apps that make everyday life easier to manage. We strive to help busy people feel more in control with solutions that get the most benefit out of their computers, phones and tablets.

Our focus is to help regular people who are looking for their devices to make things easier rather than creating more distractions. This means that we don’t attempt to stay up with the latest trends and “hot new” features that device manufacturers attempt to push as must haves. Instead, we look to make our products help you get stuff done and then get out of your way.

Most app creators spend a lot of time adding bells and whistles and are quick to implement cool new OS features. These features are usually interesting and fun to implement, but often don’t really help end users improve their lives. DataViz’s focus on regular people means that we evaluate features by asking the question: Will this really make life easier?

Many app creators also start off focused on the end user but slowly get enticed to shift to “enterprise” apps. This is an easier way to make money (and pay back investors) since it is very difficult to create apps that end users find compelling enough to pay for. But, the downside is that their apps lose the focus on making individuals’ lives easier. The enterprise and team focus makes it harder to use apps for both your work and home lives. DataViz is different by always focusing on making YOU more effective.

DataViz, Inc. has been in the software business for a long time and we’ve seen many waves of technology come and go. Founded in 1984, we’ve navigated the changing software landscape and consistently been focused on personal productivity.

In the 80s, our MacLink product provided connectivity between Macs and PCs. MacLink was a “must have” app for Mac users and came bundled on most Macs through our relationship with Apple.

The 90s saw the beginning of the mobile device era with the introduction of the Palm Pilot. DataViz was one of the earliest and most prominent Palm “app” developers. Our Desktop To Go solution came bundled on all early Palm devices and supercharged the effectiveness of PDAs by enabling office document support on the go. In the PDA era, we developed applications for all the early PDA devices beyond Palm, including Symbian, UIQ, Microsoft® Windows Mobile and Linux-based OSes.

DataViz was well poised for the advent of the smartphone era after years of porting our solutions across OSes – from low memory PDA platforms to Windows and macOS on desktop. Over the years we have partnered with all the major cell phone manufacturers including Apple, Blackberry, Samsung, Microsoft®, Motorola®, Sharp®, and many others. DataViz applications have been bundled on millions of devices around the world.

Our early work evolved into the Documents To Go solution that has been a best seller on iOS, Android and Blackberry for many years. It is now called Docs To Go and is still available for iOS and Android. Passwords Plus has also been around for years and is available for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android.

In 2021, we released our latest app, DailyBalance. We have been using it internally and improving on it for years. DailyBalance is truly focused on the mission of making life easier and helping you feel more in control. Try it free for 30 days and click here to learn more.
