Sometimes it feels like a business owner has to keep track of just about everything. That’s because, for the most part, they do. Thankfully, as technology has given us the ability to consume and create more data so too has it given us the tools to deal with that data. Here are a selection of apps you can use on your phone that can help you keep ahead.
Keeping Up
Pocket: You know how browsing the internet works. One article will lead you to another and another and then to something truly interesting that you don’t have time to look at right now. Pocket will enable you to download and read that article later, even on the subway. You can also save and watch videos as well.
Humin: Humin is a contacts program with a twist. It cross-references and sorts contacts via a number of factors like when and how you met someone – a great help in a giant meet-and-greet like a convention. The makers of Humin have also just launched a new app called Knock Knock which enables instant transfer of social media information and cross-friends and auto-follows others you meet. iOS only.
Making Notes
Evernote: Note-taking apps are built in to your phone with varying degrees of effectiveness. In many ways they’re all just following Evernote’s lead. It can keep notes of any size and syncs them across all your connected devices with ease.
Other Contenders: There are plenty of other great apps worthy of your attention if Evernote doesn’t do it for you. OneNote from Microsoft is free, well-made, and integrated with Office and Squid (formerly Papyrus) is an app that specializes in sketching out ideas (Android and Windows Phone only).
Doing Work
Wunderlist: One of your biggest hassles as an entrepreneur will be time management. Wunderlist is a terrific to-do list that lets you collaborate with others and easily set reminders across devices and the web. Attachments like files or photos and setting up recurring tasks is also a breeze.
Workflow: Workflow is a powerful app that enable you to automate actions and connect apps. This allows you set actions even from within other apps like making PDFs from Safari and downloading every image on a web page. Specific workflows can even be added to your home page as icons. iOS Only.
