Section 1.1: Milanote

Having used Milanote a year ago to manage my digital clutter, I was pleased to see its transition from a web app to a dedicated iOS app. The recent version 3 release brings the Milanote experience to iPads, which is a fantastic enhancement.

In the latest update of Milanote, you can expect:

• Support for Apple Pencil
• The ability to edit and share boards
• Long-press functionality for content organization
• Capability to drag images from other apps into Milanote
• Performance improvements for iOS

You can download the updated version of Milanote from the App Store.

Section 1.2: Focused Work

For those who struggle with procrastination, the Pomodoro technique can be incredibly effective. By setting a 25-minute timer to focus, followed by a short break, you can enhance your productivity. The Focused Work app, with its new 2.0 version, simplifies timer management with several new features.

The latest version of Focused Work includes:

• Notification reminders to start the app at specific times
• An App & Website filter to minimize distractions
• Aesthetic upgrades, including new app icons and minor UI changes
• Customization options on macOS to adjust app behavior and timer volume

Section 1.3: Streaks

Establishing habits is one thing, but maintaining them is another. The Streaks app allows you to define habits with engaging methods to integrate them into your routine. The recent update has significantly enhanced its functionality on the Apple Watch.

Version 7.5.12 of Streaks includes:

• Enhanced background updates for improved responsiveness
• Updates to themes and task styles

Toggl is a popular tool for tracking time spent on tasks, particularly among designers. While the default app has its limitations, Timery for Toggl stands out as a superior third-party option for monitoring your time effectively.

In the new version 1.4 of Timery, you can:

• Stop or edit your current time entry directly on Apple Watch
• Access and start saved timers from your watch

Key features in version 6 of iAWriter include:

• Support for Wikilinks to connect text files

In the latest version 1.1.0 of Runestone, you can expect:

• A redesigned file dialog showcasing supported file extensions
• Customizable line width for better accessibility
