This was great!

here are a few more that I have

-Second hyporational's suggestion for Clockwork Tomato

-Appdetox, for curbing how long I spend on certain apps

-Beeminder, for commitment contracts on my phone

-Contactually, for reminding me to keep in touch with people I care about/network with

-Evernote, and Everwebclipper, for saving everything interesting I come across

-Evernote Food, for discovering and accesing recipes.

-FocusAtWill, for music that boosts my focus.

-habitRPG, for recurring habits

-Meetup - to meet new interesting people.

-Mint, to track finances.

-Newsblur, to keep up to date on all my websites

-Prey, so I can locate my phone if it gets lost or stolen

-Tagtime, to get an overview of how I'm spending my time.

-Tasker, to automate things (I especially use it with Beeminder and tomato timer, which both have integrations)

-The brain, to put my knowledge in wider, more connected context.

-Timely, for a better timer/alarm clock than the default.

-Todoist, to keep track of all my tasks.

+1 for beeminder, although I have not found it to work for me.

I have installed contactually. I hope it works.

Is focus@will free?

Pocketbook is a finance app, as is the "you need a budget" website; I think they have an app but not sure. Have not heard of mint (but I don't use pocketbook either)

Installed Prey. tagtime, todoist, twilight (because I have been meaning to),

which "7 min workout" do you use?
