When you think about accounting in general ‘beautiful and easy design’ is not the first thing that comes to mind. I hail from a Commerce background, so I’ve spent my fair share knee deep in Tally 9.0, working with an interface that’s neither beautiful to look at nor easy to operate. This makes me genuinely excited to talk about Gaurilla — the company that wants to make Accountancy awesome again.

Curator is a stunning app for your iPad that works as a visual organization tool for your ideas. You can create what the developer calls ‘mood-boards’ to organize and research anything you like, be it your next project, ideas or random thoughts. The first time you open up Curator, you will be greeted with a video that will tell you how to use Curator. The app presents you with ‘boards’ that contain 25 ‘cells’. You can create up to five boards for free before you need to buy a $6.99 IAP which enables unlimited boards.
Our commutes are getting longer, so are the lines at the Coffee shops. In what we call ‘fast lives’, we sure have a lot of filler time we spend doing absolutely nothing. It’s hard to do any work or read a long form piece wedged between a sea of people on the train to work. Reading short pieces of text though? Everybody’s got time for that.

If you are an avid BP reader, you probably have already adapted the paperless world. You scan your receipts and back them up on Evernote and you read novels on your Kindle and PDFs on the iPad.

You might find a classic, no-copyright book, free from Project Gutenberg which is still paid on leading ebook marketplaces like Kindle or Nook. Some ebooks are available on one platform while some on others.…
The Internet is a magical place. It has a lot of content spread across different platforms and mediums. These days, saving the Good Stuff from the internet is just as crucial as finding it. And if Mac is your machine of choice, Inboard can help you do just that. Inboard’s UI looks stunning with its dark theme. Mikhail recently talked about how apps like Tublme and Pixelmator are using dark themes and doing it wonderfully. As Dieter Rams says, ‘Good design is as little design as possible’. With a dark theme, Inboard gets out of the way and lets you…
I recently switched my writing workflow to Markdown. For those who don’t know, Markdown is a Markup language loved by many for its easy to read, easy to write syntax and its ability to play nice with HTML. Between iA Writer for Mac, Editorial on iPad and MarkdownPad 2 for those rare editing sessions on Windows, my Markdown writing workflow was fragmented but always in sync (thanks to Dropbox). The only thing that was missing was an Android app for my Phone that fit in just right. JotterPad X is here to claim that space. JotterPad X has a legacy…
