Application for halfbakers, that collects data about place(home, work, bathroom, etc), time(morning, day, night), and many other circumstances, where idea was created. This data could be used for understanding the nature of idea creation, and to achieve a new level of producing ideas.

"So, after crunching the numbers, it turns out that the best place to have an idea is equidistant between a bedroom, a bar and Cape Verde, whilst drinking a mohito with a splash of coffee and spirulina, having just eaten a MacDonald's with a cabernet sauvignon and a side of spinach."

Solution(idea) depends on how the question is asked, so to change idea you have to deformate a question. Researching of minds of thinkers, and how ideas were produced is inspiring topic. "An essay on the psychology of invention in the mathematical field" by Jacques Hadamard is a great book.
