Portfolio is a gorgeously simple iPhone app that helps you keep track of your stocks. It features a minimally designed layout that puts the focus on text and graphs, so that you can just take a peek at it and see all the relevant information you’re looking for. Although simple in its appearance, Portfolio packs a punch when it comes to features. It comes loaded with a host of different features that help you monitor the stocks that you actually care about. Portfolio includes real-time stock tickers and charts, so the data that you see in the app is (almost)…

I love interactive websites that make full use of the power of web technologies like Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3 and help you play with elements. Google’s Chrome Experiments are great examples of micro websites that push the boundaries of the web and at the same time, give you something interactive and fun. Although not a Chrome Experiment, Madeon’s Adventure Machine does a similar job of being interactive and super fun. Madeon’s Adventure Machine is a fantastic website built to promote Madeon’s new album Adventure and his tour. The website displays a 6×6 grid of music samples that you can turn…
If you’re a serious calendar user on a Mac or iOS, chances are you’re using already using Fantastical in some form or the other. Flexibits completely changed the way we schedule events or use our calendar and their apps on iPhone, iPad and Mac have been incredibly well received by the audience. Today, the Flexibits duo of Michael Simmons and Kent Sutherland release Fantastical 2 for Mac — what we believe to be the best app on a Mac today. Swanky new User Interface Fantastical 2 for Mac sports a beautifully designed User Interface and has been ingeniously crafted specially…
TodaySteps is a really cool pedometer app for iPhone that tracks your daily activity and shows you the details in a neatly designed UI. I love apps that stick to one feature and do it well, and TodaySteps falls perfectly into that category. TodaySteps sports a simple UI with a dark background and radiant colors for the highlights. It tracks your daily physical activity like total number of steps, floors climbed, distance traveled and calories burned and displays this data such that it’s easy to get a quick overview of it. On the main screen, tapping on the radial counter…
Radium is a Mac and iOS app that lets you listen to internet radio stations. It’s a lovingly crafted app on both platforms that gets out of the way, letting you enjoy your favorite stations at ease. We’d written about the redesigned iOS app back in August 2013 and recently, CatPig Studios released v3.1 of the Mac app — that brings a redesigned UI and improved UX to OS X Yosemite. Radium 3.1 is quite a departure from its previous self, yet it retains its simplicity with this release and manages to win you over with its visual refresh. It…
IPinator is a really simple, single-function utility app for your Mac. It allows you to get additional information about the IP addresses that you are currently assigned to your Mac. If you don’t know what an IP address is, IPinator is probably not for you. When your Mac is connected to the internet (or any other device for that matter), the device typically has two IP addresses — local and external and IPinator quickly displays information about these IP addresses. The main window displays a map with a pin displaying the location of the external IP and below it, it…
