Here’s why I ditched the ‘everything app’ and switched back to Google Keep

Megan Ellis transitioned from Notion back to Google Keep, seeking simplicity and focus in her digital life.

This complexity resulted in unnecessary tracking and clutter, prompting her return to Google Keep, where she appreciates its minimalist design and ease of use.

Windows 11’s most underused feature is getting a boost soon

Microsoft is enhancing its Cross-Device Resume feature, allowing users to transition seamlessly between Android devices and Windows 11 PCs.

Users can transfer online files to Copilot on their PCs, with the corresponding app launching automatically if installed.

In daily life, people engage in repetitive phone actions that shape their routines, such as turning off Wi-Fi or silencing notifications. Android devices offer basic automation features, but true automation potential lies in apps that allow personalized routines. Samsung Galaxy users can utilize Modes and Routines, integrated into One UI 5.1, to create preset profiles and custom automations based on triggers like time and location. Google’s Action Blocks enable users to create customizable shortcuts for complex tasks with a single tap, leveraging Google Assistant. Automate by LlamaLab uses a visual flowchart interface for routine creation, allowing users to design automation flows with over 320 building blocks available. aProfiles focuses on profile-based automation, adjusting settings based on time and location, while IFTTT allows users to create applets for connected services, with limitations on custom applets for free users.
