Some iPhone apps work just fine by themselves, while others beg to have some sort of desktop or web companion app to make them completely worthwhile, which is why we created our Apps That Work Alongside Desktop Or Web Applications Applist.

Our Apps That Work Alongside Desktop Or Web Applications Applist features a number of productivity apps that have fantastic desktop or web companion apps that make them absolute must-haves for anyone looking to take their mobile lives to the next level.  The apps featured in this Applist are:

  1. I think Dropbox deserves to be on that list, it’s super useful :P

  2. I’d say youve missed the just released pasteboard great little app

  3. Even though you can only use the sync if you’re a Mac user, Pastebot is a fantastic app. I also think you should have included Comic Zeal Comic Reader.

  4. Dropbox!!!

    totally missed that one….i guess its a touch like shovebox but more well known

  5. What no Remember the Milk?

  6. What about 1Password? Surely deserves to be on.

    I’ve not heard of most of these – and Bento is rubbish (both the desktop version and the iPhone version – yes I have used both).

  7. Two additional recommendations here:

    1. Pocket Informant (Calendar/Task app that syncs with Google Calendar, Toodledo, and will soon have a desktop Outlook sync component).

    2. Illium eWallet (App for storing passwords and any other info, which syncs with a desktop companion).

  8. Even though it can stand on it own, Zenbe Lists also has a companion website which makes it easier for data entry.

  9. I’ve been using MacGourmet because of it’s syncing.

  10. DocumentsToGo Desktop

  11. 1Password, Wallet, MacGourmet and iBank are all sitting on my iPhone in addition to those listed. I use them all regularly.

  12. ToDo – syncs with Toodledo.com or Remember the Milk

    Amazon Kindle – Keeps in sync with Kindle and desktop

  13. NoteLife iPhone and SOHO Notes Desktop, way better then ShoveBox. RubiTrack for iPhone and Mac

  14. I agree about Zenbe – best simple list app I’ve found + sync/backup to desktop + share/co-op edit

    Is this the right list for iDisk?
