These days, it is fashionable to stay addicted to your phone. If you want to temporarily put down your phone and focus on what’s more important in real life, you can plant a seed in Forest. As time goes by, this seed will gradually grow into a tree. However, if you cannot resist the temptation of using your phone and leave the app, your tree will wither.

The sense of achievement and responsibility will encourage you to stay away from your phone, and will help you make better use of your time. It presents an interesting way to get out of your phone addiction. You will be offered different species as you grow more trees.

The paid, pro version even lets you plant real trees on the earth with tree-planting organization 🌲Trees for the future 🌲to protect the environment. You can even customize your whitelist i.e. Leaving Forest and using apps which are in the whitelist doesn’t kill your tree!

If you want to stay focused during these addictive cellphone times, Forest is the key!

All growing businesses run into the same fundamental problems. Hair on fire, buried under email, stuff everywhere. The good news? Basecamp solves them.

The problems teams deal with mostly boil down to stuff scattered in too many places — emails, chat threads, Word docs, etc. That makes things easy to miss and hard to find, which leads to communication gaps, preventable emergencies, and extra work.

With Basecamp 3, everything will be in one organized place and everyone will be on the same page. You’ll know exactly what’s going on!

Single purpose project management and chat apps can’t fix this problem — they can only make it worse. Basecamp is different. It combines all the tools teams need in a single, straightforward package that makes work feel like less work.

Try it today – it’s worth its price!

Voice Access is an accessibility service that lets you control your device with spoken commands. It can be useful for people who have difficulty using a touchscreen due to paralysis, tremor, temporary injury, or other reasons.

Voice Access provides voice commands (currently English only) in three categories:

• Basics and navigation from any screen (e.g. “Go back”, “Go home”)
• Gestures to interact with elements on the current screen (e.g. “Click next”, “Scroll down”)
• Text editing and dictation (e.g. “Type hello”, “Replace coffee with tea”)

If you have difficulty in using the touch pad, or you want a totally touch free experience, just for fun – Voice Access is for you!

Very often we come across a table, in print, which we may wish to import into Excel. And, of course, it is painful to sit and enter the entire data into Excel. Now, your Microsoft Excel App for Android, allows you to do just that. Along with numbers, you can convert lists and recipes. And the entire process is very simple.

Just fire the App on your Android phone and open a New Sheet (Blank Workbook). At the bottom of the screen, tap the Data from Picture button (it’s the 3×3 grid with a camera). If this is your first time using the tool, tap Allow to give Microsoft permission to convert the image to data using Microsoft’s online service. Then tap the red check button to convert the data. In a preview of the captured data, tap a red-highlighted cell and then tap Edit to enter missing information. Tap Done after each change. You can also tap unhighlighted cells to make corrections or changes. Once you are done, tap Insert at the top to place the data in your workbook.

This is a very cool feature on the Android App and is likely to appear on Excel for iOS very soon.

Whether you’re working with a team or trying to keep your own independent projects in order, Trello provides an intuitive yet feature-packed system for organizing ideas and tracking progress.

Whether it’s managing a team, writing an epic screenplay, or just making a grocery list, Trello is your valuable sidekick. It breaks your business down to a series of boards. Within each board, you can create multiple lists. And inside each list, you can add any number of cards — individual items that contain text, photos, files, and so on. You can label and color-code cards and assign due dates, and you (and anyone else you invite) can comment on cards to add in thoughts and updates.

A great collaboration tool. Start free and upgrade to a paid plan as per your needs.
