About Us
Original Matter builds practical academic tools for psychology and social science students who want to spend less time fighting formatting, statistics, and method write-ups.
The idea behind Original Matter is simple. Academic work is hard enough without losing hours to repetitive tasks, awkward formatting, unclear statistical outputs, and the general low-grade nonsense that seems to gather around every assignment.
We built these tools to reduce that friction and make the process faster, clearer, and easier to manage.
Original Matter focuses on the parts of academic work that tend to waste the most time: APA presentation, results write-ups, common statistical decisions, and research design support.
The goal is not to replace your understanding or do the thinking for you. The goal is to help you get unstuck, work more efficiently, and present your work properly.
Our tools are designed for real academic use. That means practical outputs, straightforward workflows, and support built around the kinds of tasks students actually face, rather than vague productivity claims or feature lists written to impress nobody in particular.
Original Matter is especially suited to psychology and social science students, but many of the tools may also be useful to educators, researchers, and anyone working with similar academic formats and workflows.
Founders Corner
Original Matter was created by JC Pass, founder of Simply Put Psych. With an MSc in Applied Social and Political Psychology and a BSc in Psychology, JC builds tools and resources designed to make academic work clearer, faster, and less needlessly frustrating. Their work has been cited internationally in university theses, peer-reviewed research, and teaching materials, and is used by students, educators, and researchers looking for practical support with psychology and social science workflows.
