MailButler - Your Personal Assistant for Apple Mail [Sponsor]
No one has ever said ‘I want to spend more time on my email.’ Staying on top of important messages is critical, but managing your inbox can quickly become an unproductive time sink. MailButler is a series of Apple Mail add-ons that supercharge it so you can get through your email messages quickly and efficiently.
Just because you are catching up on email messages at 1:00 AM doesn’t mean you want your message to hit someone’s inbox at that hour. With MailButler, you can schedule your emails to be sent during normal working hours and then track whether the recipient opened your message. MailButler also helps you put your best foot forward with beautifully-designed, professional message templates and signature management.
MailButler is just as effective at managing messages you receive. When you need to focus on your work, you can pause your inbox until you are ready to deal with it. MailButler also makes unsubscribing from unwanted email much faster than hunting for that tiny ‘unsubscribe’ link buried at the bottom of a message. As you process messages, MailButler can even turn them into tasks or Evernote or OneNote notes, which is a more effective way to handle actionable and reference items than letting them sit in your inbox.
Everyone could use help with email. MailButler is the assistant you need to take back control of your inbox. Try MailButler for free today.
Game Day: Pocus
Pocus is the latest mind-bending puzzle game from Ankara-based developer Gamebra.in, a husband and wife duo that is known for their challenging puzzles. The game shares a common visual style with Gamebra.in’s earlier titles but has the most in common with the hit game Hocus as the names of the two games suggest.
Whereas Hocus is about navigating a cube around a variety of Escher-like geometric structures, Pocus is always played on three sides of one or more 3D cubes. Each side of a cube is composed of a 6x6 grid. Most of the squares in the grid are gray, but others are black or other colors. You play as a red with a black dot on it. The goal is to move your red square across the three sides of the cubes to collect green squares.

Wurps We’ve seen plenty of stickers based on the idea of pre-composed text messages you can share as images in a conversation, but Wurps’ stickers have a lovely illustration style (many of them are hand-drawn) and they’re relevant to the times. The “whatevs” sticker is my favorite. Handy Stickers Why use characters with different...

Workouts++
Workouts++ by David Smith has won a permanent spot on my primary Apple Watch face. There are two aspects of the app that made me switch to it from Apple’s Workout app. The first is the degree to which it can be customized. From the iOS app, you can choose from 11 different workout...

Question: Is there an app, similar to GoodNotes, that ties well into API automation so that Trello, Toggl, and other input apps can add data to specific pages? (Snowflake)
The mix of note-taking and automation for individual pages is actually something I’ve been dreaming about as well – to be able to handwrite and...
