A couple months back I did a piece on Dozzzer, a simple iOS sleep timer that lets you drift off to a mix of your tunes. Today I’m here to present you with ZonkOut, a simple iOS sleep timer that yes, lets you drift off to a mix of your tunes. While ZonkOut works quite similarly to Dozzzer, it presents it all differently. And those pixels, well those pixels certainly are unique. Polished in shades of gray, ZonkOut’s primary focus is the the stunning white clock face that takes up a solid 60% of the screen. While it is the…

Finding your vehicle amongst the sea of automobiles that is a parking lot is a task that goes unrivalled for some. Even those with the keenest of memories may find themselves pacing back and forth just an aisle away from their car, certain that that is where they parked.

Back in Black splits up your budgeting on a monthly basis; there’s no other way to do it.…

Sizer is a simple app, but one that may prove valuable to many, especially when shopping abroad. Allowing you to input your size on anything from pants and shoes to rings and hats, Sizer will match it up with size systems native to locations like Europe, Britain, and Japan. Sizer lets you add as many profiles as you wish, so if you’re heading over to Europe and plan on doing some shopping for family and friends you not only have all their sizes conveniently located in one place but you’ll know exactly what size equivalent you’re looking for. Even if…

Dribbble makes for a solid place to find design inspiration or even just to spend hours ogling over some great design. The one downside of this design ogling, however, is Dribbble is home to a lot more mockup rather than actual production material. Thus, when I came across a screenshot of the gorgeous BeachWeather last week I went through an emotional up and down thinking I’d never find my hands on this fine application. Luckily, I went through one final up in my emotions as I read that BeachWeather had already been submitted to the App Store. BeachWeather is a beautiful…
