My favorite techy things

Favorite apps

• iPhone

  • Paprika is an excellent recipe manager that allows you to import recopies directly from the web with their browser, easily share, write notes and upload photos of how the food came out

  • Spark Mail is an email client that allows you to access all your emails in one place, smart groups them according to importance and allows for mass deletion/archiving

  • iShows TV is a satisfying app for keeping track of shows that you have seen, or want to see. There is an easy feature to see when the next episodes (or seasons) will be released, and an option to set up notifications.

  • Currency is a great app for quickly converting between different currencies. You can pin favorites to have a rough estimate of current exchange rates while offline

• Apple watch

  • Juice Watch allows you to add a complication to your watch which shows your iPhone battery percent

• iPad

  • Notability is a wonderful app for handwriting notes, annotating pdfs and doodling. Although, I bought this app as a one time $10 purchase before the subscription system was implemented, I can't speak to the value of the app with their new pricing.

• Mac

  • Transmit is a file transferring app that allows you to easily copy, edit and re-upload files from remote servers with ease

  • Evernote is a note taking app that allows you to import pdfs, write markdown, code snippets and share notes with others

  • Bartender is an app that allows you to hide all of the various icons that accumulate in your menu bar

  • In Your Face is an app that ensures you don't miss virtual meetings by presenting a large pop-up over your whole screen some number of minutes before your meeting starts

• Finance

  • You Need a Budget (YNAB) is a budgeting method that I live by. You can get 6 months free if you are a student.

  • Splitwise is a website/app that makes it easy to split expenses with friends. I have used this with roommates and friends on trips as a way of keeping track of who pays what bill, so we can have one round of paybacks at the end time period
