Before leaving your iDevice unattended, choose a resolution, adjust the sensitivity, and set a timer delay for how long you want Cambush to record. Then whenever Cambush detects movement, it will record from either the front- or back-facing camera. There’s even a power saving mode that lets you record undetected with just a black screen. You can also have Cambush activate an alarm when motion is detected or surprise your friends with a Rick Roll.

Speak into your iDevice’s microphone and watch the meter fluctuate. You’re also able to play music from your library and the meter will reflect the beat. The app includes three visual presets to choose from, and the ability to adjust the sensitivity of the meter.

To clip an image or GIF from a website, you'll first need to launch Pickle. You can then head to Safari and copy the image, GIF, or URL, which will automatically place it into Pickle. If you choose to copy a URL, Pickle will automatically pull every single image and GIF from the website. You can then arrange your captured content within lists by selecting one and swiping right to left. Swipe left to right over an image or GIF to share or delete it. Pickle includes 10 list colors to choose from, the ability to edit and rearrange lists, and Dropbox support.

Whether you only have five minutes or a good hour to work on your health, Sworkit Pro will help you get it done. You’re able to select from nine different workouts, each of which focus on a different part of the body. Then select how long you intend to work out and get right to it. Each exercise includes visual and audio cues, and you’re able to add to the time spent on the exercise on the fly. You’re also able to create and save multiple custom workouts in order to focus on multiple parts of the body. The app includes progress tracking, rewards, and the ability to create reminders.

It allows you to transfer files to and from all of the popular cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, and Evernote. You’re also able to move files around using Wi-Fi or iTunes File Sharing. USB Disk Pro is able to read a variety of file formats including PDF, Office, iWork, MP3, M4V, and much more. Your files can be organized within folders, encrypted, and edited as well. The app includes TV-out support, a full screen file viewer, a built-in web browser, and a wide selection of sorting options.

Carrot is a crazy and hilarious AI that wants nothing more than to help you get out of bed in the morning with a smile on your face. To get her up and running, simply swipe up or down to choose a time and then drag her to the right to activate your alarm. When it’s time to wake up in the morning, you’ll hear a mix of songs and witty spoken dialogue. In order to get Carrot off your back, you’ll have to perform a few goofy chores like shaking your iDevice to clean out cages and flipping it over to mix a deadly neurotoxin. Fail to do so and Carrot will get really angry, and you don’t want to see her when she’s angry. The app also includes hundreds of rewards to earn, iCloud support, 30 alarm tones, and Carrot To-Do integration.
