Why we picked this?

Beep Me functions as both a calendar and a reminders app, helping you streamline your day. Creating beeps is as easy as jotting down a short description and setting a time. When your deadline comes around, you’ll receive a nagging beep that can be accepted, extended, or snoozed. The app also includes the ability to import calendar events, multiple themes to choose from, beep sharing, 45 different sounds, Apple Watch support, and much more.

You covet a productivity app that’s fast and efficient. Beep Me can be used for something as simple as a food timer or as complex as a meeting reminder.

You want a full-blown calendar app. It’s just that not.

Why we picked this?

Voice Record features a fresh, minimalist design and is yet somehow packed with features. Tap record and watch as the waveform dances to whatever it hears. Tapping the tag icon will place a bookmark in the recording, allowing you to easily jump to different points later on. Recordings can be played back at various speeds, and you’re able to repeat sections and even set a timer to stop playback after a specified duration. The app also allows you to share recordings or save them directly to your library.

You need more control over your audio recordings and how they’re managed. It’s loaded with bells and whistles.

The native audio recording app in iOS is good enough for you.
