Project Management in Apple Notes

I have been experimenting with using the built-in Notes app on iOS and macOS lately.

Apps of the Week • April 14-20, 2013

Just a quick roundup of some new iPhone apps I’m liking:

Triage – quickly process your email Inbox

Yahoo Weather – slick and to the point, with the right info presented cleanly

CamFind – impressive app that searches anything, based on photos.

Rockmelt – Flipboard news app competitor, allows for hiding articles and scrolling stories instead of flipping virtual pages

 

Moves: Stylish Pedometer App

Moves is a clever and stylish pedometer app that I’m really enjoying lately.

Poster for WordPress

Poster for WordPress is a slick blogging app. It has just enough unique features to make it worth paying for over using the free official version.

1Keyboard: Type on your iPhone or iPad with yourMac

1Keyboard is a virtual bluetooth keyboard application for Mac OS X that allows you to wirelessly connect to Bluetooth enabled devices such as your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. It does not require a wireless Bluetooth keyboard. Works great. It went from free to being a paid app since I tried it out. There’s a free demo that lasts for 2 days so you can give it a whirl.

ClipMenu: Clipboard History Manager for Mac OS X

ClipMenu is a clipboard history manager for Mac OS X. I’ve tried a lot of others, both paid and free, but for me this one is a keeper.

Goodbye Readability, Hello Pocket

I’m a big fan of Readability, but I’ve had to quit using the app.
