ShotClock

Normally $0.99.

ShotClock is an iPhone app that focuses you on one task at a time, helping you accomplish more at a faster pace.

Everyone gets overwhelmed by daily tasks from time to time. Your mood, stress, or any other outside distraction can cause you to lose track of time, or even forget something entirely. At the end of the day, you could end up in the very spot you feared you’d be in.

ShotClock aims to prevent this by keeping you focused on accomplishing one of your tasks at a time, with a timer. It’s simple, but it works. The combination of momentum and focus will keep you on point, enabling you to check off one item after another. Humans aren’t multi-taskers, we’re wired to work sequentially. Working in such a matter (coupled with proper time management) can end up saving you a lot stress, and even help you finish faster.

With ShotClock, you turn your cluttered mental to-do list into a neat timeline. Complete one timed task at a time, and move on to the next one. Boom, boom, boom, and you’re done.

Magnet List Pro

Normally $1.99.

Going to the supermarket, we look in the fridge and write down what we need to buy, to shopping list. Most recently, shopping lists, notepads and papers moved into our smartphones. We’re, when we create our app, looking at “shopping list” differently.
In “Magnet List” app, to create a product, write in the search box: what, how much and at what price we need (only name is possible). After that, square magnet will appear with the initial letter of the product. Pull it to the right – and he’s in the shoping cart. Once again, the right – he is at home. On next time you will make purchase, you can look in the House section, and re-add it to the shopping list. So there is a circulation of products! Long press on magnet, in any section, will remove it. And if it need, it will be in the same form, when you start typing the name in the search. And of course, if you click on the magnet itself, you can make own product photos or choose from the gallery. Navigate between lists with left/right swipe. You should try it, to make sure that “shopping list” can be simple, but not boring. Also, you can choose color theme what you like. Enjoy your shopping!
