Perg, Austria – Ergonis Software celebrates its 15th anniversary combined with the 30th anniversary of PopChar, the award-winning tool for exploring fonts and inserting special characters into your document.

“When we founded Ergonis Software 15 years ago, Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) was the current Mac OS version. Together with the launch of Ergonis, we released PopChar X 1.0, the first OS X native version of PopChar, which already had a 15 years history on classic Mac OS Systems at that time,” said Christoph Reichenberger, founder and CEO of Ergonis Software.

Today, the current version of PopChar X is 7.7, with version 8.0 just around the corner, and in addition to PopChar, Ergonis Software offers additional productivity boosters like Typinator, automating the process of inserting frequently used text and graphics and auto-correcting typing errors, and KeyCue, helping to learn and remember keyboard shortcuts.

On the occasion of PopChar’s 30th anniversary, Ergonis’ CTO Gunther Blaschek wrote down the history of PopChar, starting with a system extension (called an “INIT” at that time) running on System 6 on a Mac Plus, up to a first glimpse at the soon to come version 8 on macOS Sierra. Visit the ergonis website to read more about the milestones in the development of PopChar.

“We are happy to celebrate Ergonis’ 15th and PopChar’s 30th anniversary together today,” Christoph Reichenberger continues, recollecting the successful growth during the past years. “We invite our customers to celebrate with us using a simple formula: 15 years of Ergonis plus 30 years of PopChar equals a 45 % discount for our customers.”
