High-performance Thinking Software:
HyPerform

a re-creation on Windows of the original high-performance thinking tool, Doug Engelbart's iconic "Augment" system, from the lab that invented the mouse and windowing

Software: HyPerform

The most powerful outline editor, based on Doug Engelbart's iconic "Augment" system developed in the lab within SRI that invented the mouse, windowing, hypertext, and electronic publishing. An incredibly powerful thinking environment that actually enhances your conceptual-structuring abilities.


In 1962, Doug Engelbart began his pioneering research on how computers can augment human intellect. There, he invented the mouse, windowing, hypertext, electronic publishing -- all components of the most powerful set of thinking tools to date, a system called Augment.

"This is an exact replica of all the basic features of Augment, with a few very nice enhancements that are entirely aligned with my father's design philosophy."
Christina Engelbart
Executive Director and Co-Founder, The Doug Engelbart Institute

HyPerform is a re-creation on a modern platform of the core capabilities of this never-matched classic.

This is not merely a historical icon. HyPerform is considered by many to be the most powerful tool for thinking, editing, and outlining available today.
