Our phones have become the center of our lives in many respects.

And we can do things from the palm of our hand, with the tap of a button, that were never possible before.

How does your phone make your life easier?

Today, I have 5 apps to help your life be a little less busy.

Apps to Make Life a Little Easier

Today, I want to showcase a few apps that will help your day-to-day be a little less hectic.

Each of these apps has a very specific purpose. I prefer apps that are simple and get one task done efficiently. (Note: All of these are iPhone apps since that is my platform. Some are also available for Android and other devices.)

Here are 5 iPhone Apps to Make Your Busy Life a Little Less Busy…

Uber

Uber logo 2It is hard not to have heard of Uber lately. They have gotten quite a bit of press, mostly good and some not so good. I am a big fan of their personal ride service and love the ability to call a car with a simple tap. It’s like having your own limo service on call. Have you tried it?  As a special summer promotion, you can get a FREE ($30) ride when you sign-up. Click here to get a free ride or use promo code “pvdtx” when you sign-up.

Redfin

Redfin LogoMy wife and I recently bought a new house. Redfin was our go-to app for scouting homes. Apps such as Redfin have disrupted the real estate market. You used to have to rely on a real estate agent for information, now you have it at your fingertips. Redfin will even connect you to one of their registered agents when you are ready to move forward. If you are looking for a new home, check out the Redfin app here.

RedBeacon

RedBeacon is owned by Home Depot and all of the companies are vetted and have reviews on the app. You can quickly describe your project, attaching photos, and RedBeacon will put you in touch will qualified contractors in your area. I have used RedBeacon for several projects lately. Check out RedBeacon in the App Store.

Chronicle

Chronicle logo 2As I mentioned, I like apps that do one thing very well. Chronicle tracks your bills and their due dates. That’s it. Chronicle’s simple interface lets you enter your bills and track when you have paid them. Chronicle doesn’t complicate things with fancy account integrations, it just lets you know when your bills are due. It syncs via iCloud so your bills are accessible via iPhone, iPad, and yes, a desktop Mac app. There are more complex apps that integrate with your credit score, bank accounts, and more, but I find the simplicity of Chronicle to be a winner for bill-tracking. I have been using it for about 9 months now. Check out Chronicle here.

OpenTable

OpenTable logoOpenTable has been around for several years and has become synonymous for restaurant reservations. Yet, many people still don’t use it when they go out to dinner. Save the hassle of standing in line or getting turned away at your favorite places.  It takes mere seconds to make a reservation via your phone and your table will be waiting for you when you get to the restaurant. Siri integrates with OpenTable on iPhone, so just tell her where you want to eat and when.

These are some of my favorite hassle-free apps to make life easier. What are yours? Please share below.

  1. I don’t use very many apps on my iPhone. I do like the reminder app that comes with the phone, though. But I may just have to check out the Chronicle app you mentioned. And like you, I like simple apps that do one thing. All the ones I’ve experimented with have been SO complicated – way more than I needed.

  2. In my case, I do prefer time to be the major factor that is considered positively in any possible case. Normally I think that no one in this world is busy rather the improper time management lets them to be busy at times. And for that very reason, I prefer using the time tracking software from Replicon ( http://www.replicon.com/time-tracking-softwares.aspx ) which is a hassle free tool featured with the user friendly and calendar based interface which makes it an intuitive tool to work with.

  3. wow!!these is informative information you have shared.The service allows users to search for restaurants and reservations based on parameters including times, dates, cuisine and price range. Users who have registered their email address with the system will then receive a confirmation email.Users can also receive OpenTable rewards points after dining (100 or 1,000); these points can be redeemed for discounts at member restaurants

  4. I always like finding a site that gives you very good ideas because I like learning new stuff. Happy that I found your site because I greatly liked it HappyMPO
