What NEW apps do you recommend for 2018?
Let's start of the New Year by sharing something NEW. Can you name a NEW (or largely unknown) app?
The app must be NEW or largely unknown, and help you save time or be more organised or learn more or have more fun or help the planet or society or any generally positive and useful apps
My List
Forest: Beat phone addiction and plant trees. Similar mindset to Safer Journeys, IAG's app to reward safe driving behaviour especially not using your phone in the car.
BailBloc: Volunteer your computer's unused processing power to mine crypto-currency. 100% gets donated to the Bronx Freedom Fund. Like SETI for social good. Similar to DreamLab where you use mobile phone CPU to solve cancer.
Oblique Strategies: An unusual app to assist in breaking through creative blocks and by encouraging divergent thinking. Also for creatives is TypeLock, a text editor for the Mac, that locks out all other applications and distractions for a specified time.
And my absolute favourite is Copied. You can save and organise anything you copy to your clipboard. E.g. I copy a quite from an article about AI. Later I goo into the app and find the clip and add it to my "AI" notes. Have you ever been telling someone about an article you read last week but can't find it? Not any more! :-)
Your Apps??
