iPhone Apps I Use To Keep Me Sane

In addition to pastoring Harmony Church, I also have an upstart design company, work for Federal Express Ground, and manage a restaurant. Here are some iPhone apps that help make that possible.

Essential

  • Calendar (synced with nuevasync)
  • Mail (synced with my Google Apps on the HarmonyDC domain)

Social Networking

  • Facebook
  • Tweetie (best iPhone Twitter client hands down -> I use for my 5 twitter accounts: derekbrown,cruxgreenville,servegreenville,harmonychurch, and cruxgreenville)
  • TweetDeck (nice for searching through various keywords [greenvillenc, ecu, servegreenville,harmonychurch,derekbrown, etc])
  • Beejive IM (for on-the-go instant messaging)
  • Brightkite (nice when i’m staying somewhere a while and want people to know where i’m at)

Utilities

  • Remember the Milk (on my bottom bar – task manager – also synced in gmail [via gadget] and on desktop [via google gears])
  • Dictionary (mainly for the thesaurus)
  • Amazon (for quick ordering books, or adding them to my wishlist [currently above 500])
  • Dropbox (beautiful service for file sharing across computers)
  • Translator (i work with both Chinese and Spanish speaking people)
  • Bank of America (to monitor the finances, of course)
  • Wordpress (to maintain multiple blogs)
  • Ego (to watch the stats across my various sites, including my twitter accounts)
  • Deliveries (to watch for incoming deliveries of things i’ve ordered)
  • Minibooks (for use with Freshbooks, my invoicing client for Crux Media)

For Fun

  • Tasting Notes (to keep beer notes, mainly)
  • BrainTeaser (hard game)
  • Frenzic (easy game)
  • ScoreCenter (ESPN, of course)
  • Fox Sports (for articles)
  • At Bat 2009 (to keep up with my WashNats)
  • Toobz Free (decent time waster)
  • Flixster (for date night planning)

I also have the YouVersion Bible App and the Mantis Bible Study app on my iPhone for obvious reasons.
