My favourite note taking app just got even better.
Previously I mentioned a single function Foursquare app called Checkie that sports a very clean and minimal interface. One of my other favourite single function apps called JotAgent that’s singular feature is taking notes and sending them to Evernote or Dropbox. The app also has a very elegant queue feature that helps you when you need to takes notes while under no reception.
It’s perfect for taking notes quickly. Just write something and press send. I’ve set it up so that the notes that it creates are named as date-hour.txt to my Dropbox. Later when I get to my laptop I just open up Notational Velocity app and I’ll see my jots there. Oh and JotAgent is available also for iPad.
Foursquare without all the bells and whistles. Great example of minimalism in product design, this app manages to do one thing extremely well and that’s checking in, nothing else. But this also makes it many times faster to use than the official foursquare app. I also love the black and white UI design that really helps the usage and speeds up readability to further make checking in as clear and effortless as possible.

Thought of the day:
Use verbs for iOS folders, you will end up with Action > How. Like for example, Capture > Instagram or Read > Instapaper.
You will end up with shorter folder names, less clutter and meaningful connection of what you do with your device.
