The #1 Brainstorming Tool for Creative Remixing

Remix, re-imagine, and stretch any idea in minutes.

This Sidekick helps teams apply the SCAMPER technique – a seminal ideation method used by innovators for decades – to evolve ideas into stronger, more commercially viable directions. It guides you through seven creative lenses (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to Another Use, Eliminate, Reverse), generating around 35 new variations from every starting idea.

Unlike many brainstorming tools that produce fun but unworkable ideas, SCAMPER helps you build on what already works, revealing practical, high-potential ways to improve or reinvent it. It’s fast, intuitive, and requires no setup or prior knowledge – just open it and start exploring.

Who it’s for: Anyone, anywhere, with an idea to develop – from Product and marketing teams to students, startups, and strategists.
