We’ve taken a look at NowPlayer, a gesture-centric iPod controller. We’ve also done of quick peek of Attic, perfect for rediscovering some love for those unplayed goodies. Today I bring you Audium, a beautifully crafted, gesture driven app from Mic Pringle, the man with the coolest name in iOS app development. I believe Mic says it best himself; By stripping away often over used features such as the playlist or track listing and putting the album front and centre, Audium encourages the listener to appreciate the album as a whole and rediscover all those forgotten tracks Rather than focusing on…

If you find you’re a fan of Calvetica or an avid user of Dialvetica then PriotityList might be just your thing. Filled with crisp-cut corners, finely-formed glyphs, and a text-heavy interface, this one’s a custom delight. Granted I’ve looked through quite a few task management apps in recent weeks, all of which seem to have a unique way to go about handling your tasks. PriorityList’s unique in that it focuses on just that; priorities. Add your task, description or notes, and optionally choose from one of a few dozen glyphs and you’re set. Next, priority. Many apps of this style…

When @drbarnard posted a snapshot of the finely crafted Tweet Speaker icon seen above my response was simply, “No idea what that is but I want one.” Behind that icon wasn’t just an interface filled with more delicious design, but a fully-functional app that I’ve already found indispensable. Tweet Speaker is from App Cubby, the folks behind a couple other superb apps like Gas Cubby and Trip Cubby. As the name and icon embody its purpose quite well, it needs little mention that Tweet Speaker’s function is to read your tweets to you, one by one, through your typical computerized…

Over the past few weeks I’ve checked out a couple apps for getting things done, and there is most certainly more to come. In today is Weave, a lovely app drawn up by a lovely gal while working with Intuit. Yes, Intuit, the company behind such eye candy as TurboTax and QuickBooks. From a company like Intuit you’d expect Weave to be an app that’s more business oriented, and it is, sorta. Weave does to-do’s, but it also does projects; a place for grouping all your to-do’s related to one task. The project doesn’t have to be Quarterly Financials Meeting…

A few days ago, I wrote about ListBook, a simple yet stunning to-do app for iPhone to keep a handle on your day-to-day tasks. Judging by the response, ListBook really was just what many of you needed. Nonetheless, here today is Cues, yet another sexy to-do app, this time running different objective. Cues’ focus is all location. Just like the upcoming location-based reminders in iOS 5, Cues will will go that bit extra by reminding you of tasks not at a set date or time, but as you go to or from a location; the point when you know your task will…

With no shortage of to-do lists for the iPhone, it certainly is hard to make a mark. Searching ‘to do’ in the App Store will literally pull up dozens, if not hundreds of apps accompanied with the infamous ‘checkmark’ icon. While many apps run overkill with a clusterf*ck of an interface, there’s few that keep it simple. Less even, that keep it simple and sexy. ListBook does that. It’s as simple as it gets, and it’s most certainly as sexy as it gets. Finely crafted by a couple great guys at noidentity, ListBook may be that easy-going to-do app you’ve been searching…
