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.
