Exploring lesser-known apps has been like a fun treasure hunt for me. In this article, I’ll discuss three apps that I find particularly helpful in organizing various aspects of my life. We tried to provide a comprehensive review, rating it based on visuals, user experience, and price. I hope this helps if you are looking for an app with these specific features.
small decisions
We often struggle with decisions, such as which local restaurant to go to with friends or what to wear tomorrow. That’s when I turn to Tiny Decisions to take the stress out of making a choice. The app has a simple, clean design and features that are easy to use.
There are four icons on the home page: a wheel, a pointing hand, a 42, and a dollar sign. The wheel allows you to create a custom spinner by adding questions, cute emojis, or different options to choose from. The pointer hand icon launches a “finger roulette” where multiple fingers on the screen determine the winner. The “42” icon generates a random number, and the dollar sign tosses a coin for a simple “yes” or “no” choice.
You can access many free features without upgrading to the Pro version. Ads do appear occasionally, but they are short and infrequent, so they don’t interrupt your experience. A Pro subscription ($1.99 per month or $9.99 per year) unlocks additional benefits such as ad removal, wheel weighting, and iCloud sync. You can also try these features with a 3-day free trial.
Tiny Decisions is available on both the App Store and Google Play, making it accessible to both Apple and Android users. Whether it’s deciding what to eat or picking your next song, this app puts a fun twist on your daily decisions.
time tree
Apple Calendar and Google Calendar are great for managing your personal schedule, but sometimes you need to sync your plans with other people. That’s where TimeTree comes in. It’s a group scheduling app that makes it incredibly easy to share and coordinate schedules with friends, family, and colleagues. Everyone on a shared calendar can add events, see real-time updates, and chat directly within the app. You can also customize each calendar with a cover image, notifications, to-do list, and even lunar dates. Public calendars allow you to share events with a wider audience, while private calendars allow you to keep things more personal. Additionally, you can add notes to track important tasks related to specific events.
If you want even more features, TimeTree Premium offers vertical viewing, file management, event pinning, and more. However, the free version already has many features, allowing you to share and organize your calendar without a subscription. If you’re interested in additional features, there’s a one-month free trial. Available for Apple, Android, and desktop, TimeTree is a great tool for organizing your plans and syncing them with others.
money manager
I found Realbyte’s Money Manager app to be very helpful when managing personal money like school supplies, groceries, and transportation. This makes budgeting more manageable and even fun.
With this app, you can track your spending in real-time, whether it’s a quick coffee or paying your rent, all within a colorful, easy-to-use interface. Sync with Google Drive, export everything to Excel, and track your cash and credit card transactions in one place. Visual reports such as graphs and charts make it easy to see where your money is being spent. Furthermore, it is equipped with a password lock function to strengthen security.
If you’re looking for more tools, the premium version offers ad-free use, access from your computer, and advanced analytics for deeper financial insights. A double-entry accounting system ensures that all transactions are accurately recorded, so you don’t need any accounting experience to keep track of your finances.
For busy college students like me, it’s a great tool to help you manage your budget. It’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re trying to save up money for a trip during the winter holidays.
