Launch apps and trigger actions from a quick, easy to use app! Call a friend, start an email, send a text, post to Twitter, turn on a flashlight — get to where you’re going faster than ever before.
I’ve been using Launch Center as a simple launcher and scheduler, but with a bit of tinkering and some tricks with app URLs the app becomes a genuinely powerful utility.
See Dave Caolo’s trio of Launch Centre posts for more details:
I’m a little late with the news, but Todo.txt is now available for iOS, and looks very nicely done. Synchronisation with your todo.txt file is via Dropbox.
Sleipnir is a suite of browsers for OS X, iOS, Android and Windows Phone with a rather slick tab-centric, gesture-controlled user interface and built-in bookmark synchronisation between devices.
Shush is a static noise generator, useful for calming babies, blocking out unwanted noises, or just adding a bit of static to your life, if that’s what you’re into!
I find white noise (and pink noise) incredibly calming—discovering that it’s commonly used to soothe unhappy babies is a little worrying! More on Shush from developer Daniel Jaikut.

Digits is a calculator for iPhone and iPad with an interesting ‘tape’ feature that lets you keep track of previous calculations, making corrections if necessary.
Day One is a set of apps for OS X and iOS designed to help you keep a daily journal or diary, with a focus on quick and easy text entry. Synchronisation is via Dropbox; iCloud support is planned.
The Mac version ships with a command line tool, so you can easily automate some of your diary-keeping (adding the day’s tweets and todo list, say) or import content from similar apps.

Unusually, there’s a free tier—1 GB or 2 hours per month—so you can take Cloak for a spin without committing to a monthly plan.
If you need up-to-date stats from the Football League, minute-by-minute text commentary on match days, plus news of your team and their opponents, this is the app to get.
I realise that almost all of you don’t need such a thing, but since the app has long been a fixture on my home screen I feel I owe it a link.
Photofon for iPhone is the easiest way to browse photos from your Twitter timeline. We strip out all the boring stuff and just show you the tweets with photos!
A fun little app from the makers of Echofon.
A note-taking app with handwriting recognition for iOS that offers a variety of export options including Evernote and Twitter. One proviso: notes are limited to a single page.
Speed Notes is a note-taking application for Dropbox and iPhone that offers a very simple interface inspired by the open-source Notational Velocity. Searching for and creating notes can be done entirely by typing in the text box on home screen…
Notes are stored as plain text files in your Dropbox.
