We kicked off the new year with a great roundup of 10 paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free for a limited time. If you missed it, there are actually still a few freebies to be found in there, so definitely go back and check it out. Once you’re done with that, check out today’s fresh new roundup that’s packed with seven different premium apps that are all on sale for free right now. These deals could be done at any moment, of course, so gran them while you still can.

This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any app developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app anyway, you will be charged by Apple. Some apps may have additional in-app purchases. Subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified as soon as these posts are published and you’ll avoid missing the sales we cover.

Heart Mate

Normally $0.99.

With the Heart Mate heart rate assistant, you can detect and record your heart rate at any time without a heart rate monitor such as a smart wristband. By setting tag tags, the current status can be quickly recorded, such as after a meal, after exercise, etc. It is convenient to retrieve heart rate data with the same tag in the future so as to analyze heart rate data under these scenarios and discover health problems.
Heart rate data will be automatically synced to Apple Health App.

IT’S BUILT FOR YOU
Do.List is a task management app for people. I’m not building for an enterprise corporate client. I design for normal lives.

SIMPLE – START IN SECONDS
The design is simple enough that it’s intuitive. Use the tutorial to get started or skip it and explore!

SCHEDULING
When you need to give a task a due date, add it to the “Reminders” list and you’ll get a reminder!

FOCUS
When you open Do.List, the home screen is “Today”. That helps keeps the focus on what’s important.

“Do.List is a minimalist app empowering focus.”
-AppPicker.com

MOTIVATION
Choose the notifications that work for you:
○ Get daily quotes
○ Productivity tips
○ “Sunday Night Prep” reminders to prepare for the week
○ “Monday Morning Pep” motivation

“Personally, I love this app… I encourage anyone who needs to organize their life and loves doing it with lists to use this.”

PROTECTION FROM YOURSELF
Long lists of errands or tasks become overwhelming. If your Today list goes over 5 tasks you’ll be encouraged to shorten it!

DATA BACKUP

PLEASE READ WHAT DO.LIST IS NOT:
– Do.List is not a calendar and will not offer that functionality in the foreseeable future.

– Do.List’s design encourages going deadline-free. Instead, it encourages you to focus and look at your list often.

– Do.List does not allow you to sync lists. It is not an enterprise app for teams, it’s for people and their lives!

– Do.List is iPhone only. There’s no syncing, so it doesn’t require an account.
