The App Store is nearly flooded with Notes apps today. There are the popular apps like Simplenote and Evernote with their own syncing solutions and there are others like Elements which let you use Dropbox to store your notes. Just Type is a new Notes app for iOS that brings a beautiful UI, simplicity, extensive features and iCloud sync in a tiny package that’s Free on the App Store. Just Type has been designed and developed by Shubham Kedia, who has been quite well-known in the iOS Jailbreak scene designing Winterboard themes for the last few years. The app is…

Minù is a tiny little kitchen timer app that has been heavily inspired by Dieter Rams’ Ten Principles of “Good Design”. It’s one of those apps that do one thing, but do it very well. The main screen features a beautiful big dial that works both as a Timer and a Stopwatch. Turn the dial clockwise and set to to whatever time you want to countdown from and hit the start button and it works as a Timer. Hit the start button without rotating the dial and it works as a Stopwatch. Simple and nifty, without the need of any…

I love watching movies. Not just big budget productions, but I often spend my time on Vimeo browsing through a ton of fantastic no/low-budget or indie films that are uploaded there. On Vimeo, the myPlex bookmarklet comes in handy when I come across something interesting but cannot watch it right away.

Are there songs in your music library that you love, but you’ve forgotten you even have? Audious helps you rediscover those tracks by putting their covers on a shelf right in front of…

Moni is a simple, minimal and beautiful new budgeting app for iPhone that took less than 15 minutes of playing with to become my default money manager app on the iPhone. I’ve tried plenty of finance apps on my phone, but could never find myself using them extensively. Moni seemed different to begin with, and over the last two weeks I’ve found that it to be the perfect app for my needs. I love this quote from their App Store description: In a day when so much is automated, some times you’ve got to go manual to get it right.…
