Documents (previously ReaddleDocs) is a file management application.[9] The app was Readdle's first product, and was developed because co-founders Alex Tyagulsky and Andrian Budantsov wished to be able to read books on their iPhones.[7] It was initially released as a Safari-based web service in 2007.[10] Later, Apple asked Readdle to submit the app (then called ReaddleDocs) to become one of the 500 apps available on the App Store when it launched on July 10, 2008.[11] After Wall Street Journal writer Walt Mossberg endorsed the app, sales increased ninefold, netting the company $500–1000 a week.[7] In 2013, the app rebranded as Documents.[12]
