My Productivity Apps on the iPad
This is a quick post to outline some applications that I use on my iPad and that I think every productivity enthusiast should have on its iPad.
GoToMeeting
Yup! It’s on the iPad.
Penultimate
Take notes using you fingers. I use it to draw sketches then send the notes in my Evernote.
Wikipanion
Quick shortcut to Wikipedia.
Dropbox
Particularly useful on the iPad. A lot of apps can store directly to it including GoodReader and iThoughtHD.
GoodReader
Reads PDF, Docs, HTML, even audio files.
Reeder
A must have if you are using Google Reader. It integrates with a lot a online services such as Read It Later.
Read It Later
This is where I keep the blog entries I want to read. I batch them and read them on the week-end. I really enjoy the text view.
iTalk
This is an iPhone app, but I take a lot of audio memos. Never failed.
Pomodoro
Another iPhone app. I use the pomodoro everyday. The iPad helps me preserve my iPhone battery life.
Kindle
Sorry, I did not drink the iBooks kool-aid. I already have a Kindle and I’m loving the Amazon platform. By the way, the kindle still outperforms the iPad for reading. But this is nice to have when I don’t have my kindle near me.
iThoughtHD
Mind mapping on the iPad. Very useful. Can export to a variety of formats, including OPML.
Chronicle
This is a simple and neat journaling application.
Echofon
Best iPad twitter client in my opinion.
Things
The sexiest task management application. I use Things for Mac and Things for iPhone, so the iPad version is only a natural “Thing” for me.
Evernote
Cross-platform note manager. I use it as my reference system.
