About

A company named for clear sight

Ganshiki is the software company behind Pimkin Email and ScholarSynch.

The name

Ganshiki (pronounced gahn-shee-kee) is a Japanese word for insight or discernment: a keen eye for judging quality and truth. It describes the person who can look at a crowded situation and see what actually matters in it.

We chose it because that is the job we want our software to do. We borrowed the meaning of the word, and we try to earn it.

What we build

Our products work on two very different kinds of clutter, with the same aim: help people see their situation clearly enough to decide well.

  • Pimkin Email: A personal information manager that brings all of your email accounts, calendars, tasks and contacts into a single account.
  • ScholarSynch: A college search tool that helps students, parents and counselors find the right colleges to apply to, find scholarships and reach the people who make admissions decisions.
