Kapow is a useful tool for online freelancers or individuals who work at home while still on the clock. Tracking time spent without recording your actions on screen, it is a very easy tool, but will fulfill a need for many hourly, at-home workers who would prefer not to use invasive online tracking tools.

Kapow opens with a clean, almost bare-bones interface. Create a project in the left pane, define your task at the top, and click "Start" to record time as you work. With a minimal GUI and no colors or buttons onscreen, it is very rudimentary, … Read more

Google Authenticator allows you to add a second layer of protection beyond your password, and while the app is a little dated and provides few cues for how to set it up, it works well for what it promises. There are some requirements for use, of course, including that you turn on Google 2-step verification. The setup process alone can be rather cumbersome, but once it is working, we experienced no additional issues.

Initial installation of the app takes some time because you'll need to turn on 2-step verification, set up your security tokens, and verify that it is … Read more

With its improved graphics and retained gameplay, Klondike Forever for Mac offers a challenging and graphically appealing adaptation of the all-time favorite solitaire game. This game will definitely be an upgrade over other, similar solitaire games.

Klondike Forever for Mac's main menu was well designed, although its lack of text labels made it a little difficult to figure out. After some trial and error, the functions are easy to use and navigate. Several of the buttons link to outside applications, mostly additional puzzle and solitaire games, available for download. The game, itself, operates as expected from a solitaire game, … Read more

Instashare manages to stand out among the increasingly crowded number of file transfer and backup apps on the App Store. That alone makes it worth downloading for anyone with multiple iOS devices and desktop computers, but it also works seamlessly when sharing files with other users. While there are some hiccups in execution and we noticed some small performance issues, this is one of the better options currently available for what it does.

Instashare requires you to have the client installed on any device with which you want to share. However, unlike other clients, Instashare is designed to be integrated … Read more

Dual Browser is designed to show two pages at once on your iPad's screen, a function that can be quite handy if you are filling forms or working on a Web site. On one hand, the interface is unique and intelligently designed; on the other hand the browser fails to provide some of the more robust features that iOS Web browsers have become well known for, weakening the overall experience.

Dual Browser opens, appropriately enough, in dual browsing mode. Both of the browsers onscreen (when in portrait mode) are a decent size, especially on a full-sized 9.7" … Read more

TrashTimer for Mac adds to your privacy by automatically removing deleted content from the trash after a set period of time. This application offers a great amount of control over how and when the trash is deleted.

With just a double-click on the DMG file, you will have this app installed and running in no time. A readme file, which comes with the installation file, clearly explains the installation process. Rather than an icon in the dock or top bar, TrashTimer for Mac will appear as a preference panel in your Mac's System Preferences. The user interface is quite … Read more

Black & White Master takes one of the most frustrating components of photo editing on the iPhone and makes it as intuitive and easy to do as possible, using swipe and touch gestures built into the app's interface. It is not the best photo editing app on the App Store, but certainly a very fun one to use.

Black & White Master performs exactly as it sounds, allowing you to turn your photos into black & white images (or take new ones in black & white). When you open the app, you will select or take an image, and … Read more

Funny Movie Maker - Replace Your Face lets you create funny videos by replacing or adding your own mouth and voice to pictures. The app was put on this earth to entertain and it succeeds; however, you're limited to only three pictures and certain features in the free version. To unlock the other faces and features, you'll have to pay.

Funny Movie Maker opens with three unlocked faces: a blonde who is missing a face, a strawberry with eyes, and a picture of Benjamin Franklin. Like we mentioned earlier, if you want to use another template, you'll … Read more
