My buddy Greg over at Agile Tortoise has released a new app, named Tally. It is a counter app, designed to do tally counting an iPhone without the need to look at the phone. It’s great for keeping score of a game, counting a group of people or objects or seeing how often your four-year-old will read the same book over and over in a single afternoon.
It’s on the iOS App Store for just 99 cents.
If you were using S3 to host your backups, Glacier might be a nice alternative.
If you don’t have a backup, you’re living in sin.
My wife loves Clear on her iPhone, and I’m sure she’ll love this, too.
This looks like a great update, but until Evernote stops butchering text when copying out of the app, I can’t live in it full-time.
Hate OS X’s built-in calendar application? Here’s a great alternative.
I got this setup and running within a couple of minutes. My Rode Podcaster doesn’t have a mute button, and it’s always bugged me to have to use Skype to mute my call if I cough. Now I can mute easily and quickly, and not just for Skype, but system-wide.
For $19, you get a great Twitter client for the Mac that syncs your mute filters, read statuses and more with the iOS version.
Update: It’s currently the second-highest paid app in the Mac App Store.
Day One creator Paul Mayne, on the advantages of digital journaling:
It’s not as physical or tactile, but what is lost is more than made up in terms of what a digital journal on an iPhone is capable of. It’s always with you, it makes composing text by typing or by voice so fast and easy. And I’d say take photos of your sketches and scraps of paper using the Day One app camera. It will be preserved. I might also note that we are working towards vastly improved export features in Day One that will allow PDF creation and printing abilities of specifically chosen dates and entries, well formatted and designed to give users the ability to create a beautiful, tactile version of their journal data.
Marco Arment:
Introducing The Magazine: a modern iOS Newsstand publication for geeks like us that’s loosely about technology, but also gives tech writers a venue to explore other topics that like-minded geeks might find interesting.
The Magazine’s introductory article explains it in detail, but here’s the short version: the same way Build and Analyze is for developers but not always about development, The Magazine is for geeks like us and will often, but not always, be about technology.
It’s Tweetbot, but for App.net. Cool.
My favorite Wordpress app for the iPad is now on the iPhone. It supports custom fields, slug editing and has great Dropbox integration.
Now, pcast:// links will just open Apple’s own Podcast app. Instacast has implemented an icast:// scheme, but I don’t see that really taking off unless other apps do it too.
This is a step backwards.
