This reminded me I meant to do my own set of apps notes (all iPhone)

Mailbox: this is a new mail app, and it only syncs with Gmail currently, but it has one feature I find absurdly useful, which is that you can tell emails to pop up a specified time later (tonight, tomorrow, this weekend, a specific date). I find this absurdly useful, especially when travelling. (You can also archive/delete/postpone by swipe.

Kindle and Bluefire: my ebook reading apps (Kindle for Kindle stuff, Bluefire for everything else.)

Sleep Cycle: One of the sleep tracking apps: I've found it reasonably reliable.

Moves: Pedometer app. I would like to be able to find my Fitbit, but this does something else handy, which is that it gives me consecutive walking patterns - it'll say "At [location]" for ages, and then 10 minutes of walking somewhere else (say, walking home) and I find that very useful for tracking right now. I am both trying to build stamina, *and* using it to remind myself to be gentle if I have a much more active day than usual. (It uses battery life, but fairly moderately: most days by the time I get home, I'm between 75% and 60% depending on what else I've done that day.)

Todoist: syncs with the web app already mentioned.

ShoppingList: the interface sort of annoys me, but it has a budget component, so once I have prices in, it helps me adjust what I want to spend that week. Very handy.

I also have HomeRoutines which I haven't used enough in ages, but it lets you build morning/evening/whenever routines (it is FlyLady without the cutesy stuff, basically) and gives you stars when you complete things.
