Remember the Milk—I absolutely adore lists. To-do lists, lists of books I should read, music I like—pretty much anything I can put in a list format. This app has revolutionalized my list obsession. With it, I can set up email reminders for events, from Google Calendar, my Chrome browser or my iPhone. And I can get the warm fuzzy feeling every time I check off something on my list. If lists are your thing, you need RTM. Full stop.
Evernote—Along with my list obsession, I love taking random notes on my multiple devices, often resorting to Notepad on the PC, and Notes on the iPhone. I've just discovered the answer to organizing these notes into a searchable format and for syncing these random bits and bobs across my devices.
TripIt—Email all your travel plans—hotels, car rentals and most importantly, plane information to TripIt and it creates an itinerary with maps, departure and arrival information as well as confirmation numbers for you. All the information is presented in a nice easy to read format that's accessible via the web and the iPhone.
Remote—Want to change the music in iTunes from anywhere in your house using your iPhone? Remote has finally enabled music wars in our household. Thank you Apple.Sunrise, Sunset—For planning activities during daylight hours, whether it's a run or a hike, or for finding out when that glorious sunset or sunrise is going to hit, this app is awesome, simple and free!
There are also other freebies that I highly recommend but don't deserve center stage. For example, the Yelp! app is a must for checking out restaurant options when you're in a foreign city. And, the DropBox app is great for syncing up photos with your dropbox and accessing pdfs on the iPhone.
That's it for now, I'll update this list as I find more apps that make my heart swell. Did I mention I love my iPhone?
