• Apple “New Year, New You” Favorite • Apple App Store Staff Favorite Lumen Trails lets you take notes, make lists and keep track of other things in your life such as time, workouts, expenses, calories, food, weight, sleep or anything else you can think of, even where you've parked your car. Thousands of people use it every day, and they love it because it truly makes a difference in their lives. “I've been using Lumen Trails for 6 months and continue to love it. One of my most sticky and useful apps ever on my phone.” – David D'Souza The beauty of Lumen Trails is that you can track absolutely anything. There are tons of other apps that allow you to track one or two things, for example, calories and weight. But what if you decide to track something else? Say, how many cigarettes you smoke as you try to quit, your eating habits or even net worth? Lumen Trails is the app for that! Instead of having one app for your to-do lists, one for tracking expenses, another one for tracking your weight, you can declutter your home screen and just have one app that does it all. Designed exclusively for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, Lumen Trails is incredibly powerful, easy to use, and looks beautiful on the Retina Display. It can even backup your data automatically to Google Drive, sync with iCloud, and is fully accessible with Apple VoiceOver in 8 languages. There's nothing that comes even close to it. And to top it all, your data is not locked on your iPhone. You can export it to Excel or Google Docs. So what's truly important to you right now? Your Health? Fitness? Finances? Productivity? Track it and get things done! :: Have a Question? We are here to help. Email us at support@lumenspark.com, or find us on Twitter @lumentrails.

Waffled is the calm command-center for family life. One shared home for your calendar, chores, meals, pantry, shopping lists, and goals — so everyone in the house is finally on the same page. Mount an iPad on the wall or counter as a family display, and carry the same plan in your pocket on your phone. Everything stays in sync. • SHARED CALENDAR — Everyone's events in one view, with countdowns to the days that matter ("3 sleeps until the trip!") and birthdays that never sneak up on you. • CHORES & REWARDS — Assign chores, snap photo-proof when they're done, and let kids earn rewards. Set up a rewards jar to save toward a shared goal. • MEALS & SHOPPING — Plan the week's meals and build the grocery list from them. Scan barcodes to add pantry items in a tap. • PANTRY — Track what's in the house and what's about to expire, with allergen warnings for the whole family or per person. • GOALS — Keep the family's intentions front and center, from reading streaks to saving up for something big. • RHYTHMS — The things that should keep happening but aren't chores and aren't goals: trash out weekly, the air filter every three months, a family outing on the third weekend. Waffled counts down to each one and gets out of the way. • WEEKLY PLANNING — Sit down once a week and decide the week ahead together: what's still open, the calendar, goals, meals, who does what, and a turn for the kids. • FAMILY NIGHT — A customizable, auto-rotating agenda for your weekly family time. • A HOME SCREEN THAT'S YOURS — Reorder and hide the cards on your Today view so it shows what your family actually cares about. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Waffled is self-hostable and open source. Run it on your own server and your family's data stays yours — no ads, no tracking, no selling your life to anyone. Get your family on the same page. Get Waffled.
