UpHabit: The Personal CRM That Makes Connecting with the People You Care about Part of Your Daily Routine [Sponsor]
UpHabit makes building and maintaining strong relationships with the people who matter to you the most part of your daily routine.
We all lead busy, active lives. Pulled in several directions at once and with an ever-growing list of personal and business contacts, it’s easy to fall out of touch with people. UpHabit solves the problem with a powerful set of tools that brings order to the chaos, making sure that no one slips through the cracks.
With UpHabit, you can take control of creating stronger personal or business relationships with features like:
- The ability to set reminders to keep in touch with people
- Reminder snoozing, so getting in touch with contacts doesn’t fall through the cracks when you’re busy
- A place to take notes so you can pick up where you left off the next time you talk to someone
- Tagging to help organize your contacts
It’s incredibly easy to get started and begin enjoying the benefits of stronger relationships immediately with UpHabit.
UpHabit is continually updated with new features drawn from feedback from its growing community of users with message templates, two-way contact syncing, and more coming soon.
Of course, privacy is of paramount importance to UpHabit too. The app doesn’t have ads, and your contacts data isn’t shared with third parties.
Make connecting with your most important contacts part of your daily routine. Download UpHabit now to try it for free, and for a limited time, you can get 60% off when you sign up for any of UpHabit’s subscription plans.

Remote Control for Mac: Turn Your Mac into a Home Media Center [Sponsor]
Remote Control for Mac is a powerful app for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch that works with a helper app on your Mac to free you from your desk, so you can enjoy your Mac anywhere on your network. Whether you’re running a Mac as a media center, want to launch apps remotely, or control your Mac’s system settings while doing something else, Remote Control for Mac can handle it all.
A Mac makes a fantastic media center. However, balancing a mouse or trackpad and a keyboard from the couch or in bed isn’t ideal, which is where Remote Control for Mac comes in. With it, you can control the apps on your Mac from your iOS devices or with the brand new Apple Watch app, which offers keypads, mouse interactions, and system commands. It’s an incredibly flexible combination that opens up amazing new options.
On top of that, the app’s AirPlay controls are a fantastic way to send the screen of your Mac or it’s audio to your Apple TV. You can also control the apps on your Mac with Remote Control for Mac and even use system commands to put your Mac to sleep, turn its display on and off, and even restart it. There is Shortcuts integration too. Add the app’s actions to Siri, so you can run them by voice or as part of a custom shortcut. They’re perfect for combining with HomeKit accessory actions in a smart home environment.
Remote Control for Mac has a special giveaway just for MacStories readers. The first 50 readers who visit this link will get a free copy of the app.
Take control of your Mac today. Download Remote Control for Mac from the App Store now.
