Managing a budget but being into apps is proving a little more difficult these days. With more and more apps switching to subscriptions I’m torn on what to use. I looked back at my entire purchase history on iOS and whittled the apps I will use down into two categories What have I already paidContinue reading “Which apps am I using? AKA using the apps you’ve already paid for”

Setting up Apple Reminders
After iOS 14.2 and the update to the Reminders widget (to allow you to see more than one task in the smaller widget) I thought I’d dip back into the app. I’m testing alongside others but here’s how I’m setting up my structure. I’d forgotten about the ability to create sub projects so I createdContinue reading “Setting up Apple Reminders”
Don’t use Notion if you use iOS only
I decided to have a play with Notion this morning as I wanted to a place to organise my job seeking, training and creative projects. It looked the perfect solution until I actually tried the app and it doesn’t feel baked for iOS. First off I couldn’t even change the name of a workspace, thisContinue reading “Don’t use Notion if you use iOS only”
Dark Sky gets an update
I love using Dark Sky and I was sceptical we’d see an update but it’s had a tiny one. I’m disappointed to report we don’t have iOS 14 widgets yet. I’ve actually stopped using it’s widget for now and slipped back to the Apple app. But the good news is that it’s getting updates, soContinue reading “Dark Sky gets an update”
Get iOS 14 health widgets with Hidgets
I’ve come across a handy little app called Hidgets that helps you keep on top of your health progress throughout the day. At £1.99 I think this is bargain for a nice little utility where you can clearly see love has gone into it. You can currently choose from the list in the screenshot aboveContinue reading “Get iOS 14 health widgets with Hidgets”
The best free to do app on iPhone and iPad
I’ve been messing around with a lot of To Do apps over the last couple of months, trying to figure out which is the best app or service to use when managing a budget on what you can spend on a subscription or app. I tried built in system apps and apps that offered aContinue reading “The best free to do app on iPhone and iPad”
Switching from Apple Music to Amazon Music Unlimited
I’ve made quite a few positive changes to my month outgoings and the main one was dropping Apple Music. At £14.99 or even £9.99 for a single subscription it’s too much for me to carry just now. I looked at alternatives and have moved onto Amazon Music Unlimited. I got a great deal at 99pContinue reading “Switching from Apple Music to Amazon Music Unlimited”
Put sticky notes on your iPhone
I use sticky notes a lot on my work laptop and today I installed Sticky Widgets and added a little note to myself on my iPhone. I use them for little to do lists on my laptop but just a little reminder to myself here on my iPhone. If you’re into putting a reminder inContinue reading “Put sticky notes on your iPhone”
How I’m helping myself to stop using my phone before bed and early in the morning
I’ve picked up some bad habits in this uncertain period including using my phone right before bed and first thing in the morning. My sleep pattern has suffered really badly and sometimes even at 3am I’m awake and then shattered with fatigue throughout the day. This has a negative effect on my mood and thoseContinue reading “How I’m helping myself to stop using my phone before bed and early in the morning”
My iOS 14 home screen setup
After weeks of playing around with widgets I’m finally settled on a setup I’m happy with. This is the main screen, I’ve got TODOIST and FANTASTICAL widgets there keeping me honest with what I have got on. The other apps are there for ones that I tend to like to use the most. Here’s allContinue reading “My iOS 14 home screen setup”
