08 Simplify
Simplify for Mac was the simplest way to control Spotify from the
off, and picked up Rdio and iTunes support up to the present. Today,
Simplify is also able to control some browser-based streaming music
services like Pandora, Deezer and VK (we still are working on providing
the best experience while controlling web-based players via Simplify and
encourage developers to join us on our GitHub). To control those
players, you need to install browser extension Google Chrome and
Safari are currently supported browsers.

09 Uberzahl for iOS
Robert Junghans has introduced Uberzahl 1.0 - Your Current Money
Spending Behavior for iOS, his personal finance app that takes an
innovative psychological approach to budgeting. Rather than
month-by-month expenses, Uberzahl analyzes the past 30 days. This
provides a more accurate overview of spending trends in 12 Categories
and eliminates the cycle of overspending at the start of each month and
cutting back at each month's end. With all data offline and secure,
personal privacy is assured.

On the internet, it's getting more and more difficult to separate

at an advertising ploy that grabs your location to scam you into
thinking it's about your home town... but actually it's false
advertising. Just don't click!
