BEST
APPS
of the
MONTH
September 2024
With the introduction of iOS 18 and watchOS 11, September was a banner month for new apps. Our top choice is the great new to-do app Karo. See what else made the list.
Karo: Daily Planner Todo List
A Unique Way to Delegate Tasks
Sure, there are lots of apps to help you keep track of items you need to complete. But Karo is a unique new option that allows you delegate tasks to friends and family, even if they don’t have the app. The big draw of the app is that you can send a task to anyone in your contact list. The other person can receive the task through Messages or WhatsApp. They don’t need to sign up for anything do anything else. When the task is complete, the other person can mark the task as complete, sending you a notification.
Photon Library
A Simpler Photos App
One of the more controversial changes with iOS 18 is in the Photos app. While making it easier to customize some parts of the app, it adds a layer of complexity that many upgraders haven’t enjoyed. If you’re looking for a simpler way to browse photos, give the new app Photon Library a try. The app’s developer is known for a wide variety of photography-related titles like Photon Camera. And the new app brings a simpler way to browse your library. Instead of complexity, everything you need is at your fingertips. The app has four major sections—Recents, Albums, Calendar, and Favorites.
Napkin Ideas
Collect Good Ideas Instead of Notes
Napkin doesn’t want to be your next note-taking app. Instead, it’s all about collecting good ideas you don’t want to lose and mindfulness. Along with typing in ideas, you can also easily use your iPhone camera to snap a picture. Those are converted into text in the app. Using AI, the app will sort your thoughts into different categories to easily view. Those will grow and change as you add more ideas into the app. With an existing idea, you can easily edit it, put it in an archive, or share it with others. A single tap will also show related ideas.
Catzumi
Make Walking Fun and Rewarding
We all know that walking is a great way to exercise and stay healthy. But sometimes the biggest reason we don’t do it is simple—motivation.The new Catzumi wants to help you get motivated and help make walking fun and rewarding. As you might have guessed the premises of the app is simple. To begin, you’ll select your own furry digital kitten. The more you walk, the more you will be able to feed your kitty and watch them grow and transform.
Glint - Highlight Diary
Remember the Year’s Best Moments
Glint is a different kind of journal. Instead of providing a way for you to jot down thoughts after a specific day, think of Glint more like a personal time capsule add memories from the year. It’s easy to get started with the app. You’ll see the current year represented as a circle with each month represented by a flowing dot. The bigger the dots, the more memorable moments you’ve added. To see how you’ve grown, you can swipe between years. You can add both a highlight or keeping a running total of anything you’re counting this year like books you’ve read. To better organize everything you add, you can customize categories and tag specific people.
