Twig - The shared journal for couples. Social media is too public and scrapbooking is too hard - share your memories with your partner in one place, just for the two of you. Each memory has a place for you to upload photos and each add a note about your special moment. Twig makes it easy to document even the smallest of sweet moments. Plus, it's completely free. The story behind Twig: Both my fiancé Kassidy and I have gifted each other various forms of scrapbooks. While that definitely has its place, we wanted something that could be used any time something special happened. So I set out to make this app. Now we've got a rolling memory of all sorts of special moments we've shared! I hope it's just as useful for you as it has been for us. Enjoy!
Timeful

Thanks to the Timeful app, you can regain more value, focus on your work, and stop unpleasant habits like constantly checking your smartphone. The Timeful app starts a predefined timer (2 minutes - 2 hours) during which you will no longer use your smartphone. This allows you to fully concentrate on your work, your studies or whatever you want to do. Once the timer has expired, the app will report back to you, and you can get a report of how much time you have been focused and what percentage you have kept up. With the strict mode, you can also improve your behaviour even more by placing the smartphone face down. The smartphone must then be in this state for the entire duration. The better the percentage, the better your productivity was.
