Bebop, Pinning, Plinky, and other apps to check out this weekend
We did it everyone, we made it to the weekend! That means it’s time for another Apps of the Week roundup. This week we have some great picks for you including a lightning-fast note-taker, a timeline-based calendar, and a minimal bookmark app. And as always, we’ve selected a fun new game for you to check out!
Bebop: Quick Notes
I always feel a bit sheepish pointing to notes apps on this list. The stock Apple Notes app seems impossible to replace for basic users, and there are already a handful of apps dominating the power user segment. That being said, meet Bepob, a notes app dedicated to helping you get your ideas down fast. There are no ads, no logins, and no tracking, and files are synced natively via iCloud or Dropbox. You can share easily from other apps via the Share Extension, and you can export to almost any app via plain-text or markdown. If any of this sounds appealing to you, this might be a good app to play around with this weekend.
Pinning – Calendar Countdown
Pinning is a calendar app with a bit of a twist. Instead of focusing on the standard calendar aesthetic with daily, weekly, and monthly views, it utilizes timelines and countdown timers to help you track milestones and record big life events. The app syncs up with your other calendars, and places events like birthdays and anniversaries in the timeline view. There’s also Home Screen widgets for single events, and Lock Screen widgets for the most important ones, plus you have support for iCloud collaboration and Siri Shortcuts. This seems like one of those apps you’ll have to play around in person to judge for yourself, but who knows, it could be a winner!
Plinky: Easily Save Links
I guess it’s ‘Utility’ week here at iDB. We had a notes app, a calendar app, and now we have a link saver. Plinky allows you to quickly and easily save links for later viewing via a Share Extension on iPhone, iPad or your favorite browser. You can save everything from articles to videos, social media posts and more with a single tap. What’s more, you can then organize all of your saved links based on common themes, using tags and folders, and Shortcuts supports offers unlimited workflow possibilities. I know there are a bunch of these already out there, but little tools/utilities like this are always worth checking out.
Earn to Die Rogue
This sounds like a Bruce Willis action movie, doesn’t it? “Earn to Die Rogue: if you want it, you gotta earn it!” Anyway, it’s actually a spin-off title of the popular roguelite Earn to Die series. In this one you must drive cars through the zombie apocalypse and loot infested buildings for supplies to stay alive. You can unlock new locations and vehicles, and upgrade your cars with weapons and capabilities, to take on a variety of zombies and bosses. Other features include gorgeous side-scrolling graphics and rag-doll physics. “Whatcha doing this weekend?” “Oh not much, just upgrading my zombie-killing car so I can go on a supply run.” “Cool.”
