Top 7 apps for iphone
Remember that app you downloaded for Mac OS X back in the day that made you forget to check Twitter for an hour? Ever wonder why iTunes suddenly decided to ask you to sync a Windows file when you decided to run a Linux command? Android has loads of such gems. Here are 7 apps that you should download in order to survive life on an Android smartphone.
1. Blinken
For me, Blinken is the app that screams “depressing, sad UI”. It may be. But it’s also incredibly useful. Blinken is a simple note-taking app that offers a modern UI in a way that makes use of simple elements to deliver a refreshing experience. It can quickly become your go-to app when you want to send yourself down a rabbit hole of random tasks.
If you need to quickly jot something down, you can do it with this app. If you want to check your email or check your social accounts, you can do it with this app.
Available for free on the Play Store.
2. OS X Shortcut Maker
I’m already going to have to rewrite this sentence a lot when iOS 8 launches (will it EVER?!) but iOS 7 will give everyone enough reasons to cry uncle to the Apple Pencil. For those of us who already have a notebook or even a stylus, the OS X Shortcut Maker is an app that can save us a lot of time. It’s an app for those who want to take their finger off of the mouse while using a trackpad. It’s also a wonderful app for iPhone users looking to take their work to another OS. If you want to create a shortcut to a program that’s not available in the Mac App Store, this app is where you need to start.
Available for free on the App Store.
3. Stressmeter
Mood tracking apps have become a dime a dozen on the App Store, but few apps do it as well as OSX Stressmeter. You can’t use this to diagnose your clinical depression, but it’s still a well-built app that can help you keep track of your stress levels. It’s not a replacement for the best sleep tracker on the market, but it does an effective job of warning you that you’re on the cusp of losing it. There’s even a neat integration with Glucose and other blood sugar monitors that lets you monitor your levels in a far more accurate manner than Apple’s HealthKit API.
Available for free on the App Store.
4. Drop
The name doesn’t quite do Drop justice. There’s so much more to this app that it should be listed as an app that makes a user’s life easier and, more importantly, their mind sharper. It comes with a stunning design that’s meant to help you save space by allowing you to save multiple notes and pages as a single file. If you’re a note-taker who is willing to go the extra mile, Drop will help you expand that workspace to a highly efficient one.
The app also allows you to convert your notes to PDFs that you can share with others (no thanks). It’s the app that was designed to improve your productivity by nudging you to manage your thoughts in a way that helps you get more done.
Available for free on the App Store.
5. Stop-Go
We’re already big fans of Stop-Go here at Lifehacker, and we’re looking forward to even more feature improvements for the iOS 8 version. The app acts as a check list app for your daily tasks, letting you set “goals” for every day and then review your progress after you’ve completed each item. It sounds a lot like checklists, and it is in a way, but there’s more. Stop-Go also features a “speed dial” system that will allow you to plan out every day of your workweek as well as let you share a list of your goals with someone else.
The app also integrates with the standard productivity apps such as Evernote, OneNote, and Google Keep so that you’re ready to roll at all times. You can get the iOS 8 version here.
