Polyvalent Hookmark Product Specialist (“PPS”)
CogSci Apps Corp. is the world leader in Cognitive Productivity software for the Apple product ecosystem. Our flagship product, Hookmark, extends its users’ consciousness by enabling them to instantly retrieve the information they need to do their work with knowledge.

Unlike the competition, our products (Hookmark and mySleepButton®) are based on cognitive science, the modern interdisciplinary computational science of mind.
Your new career
