Enso-Dot
“Enso•Dot is an elegant logic puzzle that engages both your fingers and intuition. The object is simple–connect the dots using one continuous loop while following the given pattern. Every puzzle provides an opportunity to develop new approaches and new strategies.”
via Kieffer Brothers
This is what I call a “thinking game”.
1Password
“Now every iPhone and iPod touch owner can experience the peace of mind of secure, safe web browsing that Mac users have known for years! Do you use the same password every time you create a new web site account because it would be impossible to remember them all if you didn’t, choosing convenience over safety? No longer do you have to make this difficult choice! 1Password secures your most private data without inconveniencing you. It not only creates and saves as many different passwords as you’d like, but it restores them as well, at your command.”
I keep this application in sync with the copy of 1Password that I have on my Macbook. It makes storing and referencing logins easy and secure.
Pocket Informant
“Pocket Informant is a fully redesigned from the ground up calendaring and GTD®-based tasks solution for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Our purpose is to integrate best-of-class calendaring with best-of-class tasks together into one great solution. Version 1.20 makes major improvements in almost every area of the application and we know that we are far from done. Version 1.21 is now available and contains French/German Localizations, many new grouping modes (including Context/Project), redesigned search, Tags, Outlook Sync, and many bug fixes.”
I use this application for my school Google Calendar as well as the todo lists that I create using the online service “Toodledo”. I feel that the calendar features are much better than the calendar app that comes with the iPhone. There is a lot of room for customization and there is a free version that you can try out.

Tumblr
The Tumblr application is a fantastic free application that you can use to post text, photos, quotes, links, audio, and video to Tumblr. I use Tumblr for this website as well as bytes.edumacnation.com. You can also read other Tumblr blogs that you “follow” right in the dashboard section. Tumblr, along with this application, are perfect for mobile blogging!
Remote Tap
RemoteTap 4 is a “Mac Style” remote desktop management solution for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It introduces several first and only features for any VNC-like application.
via Remote Tap
With Remote Tap you can control your Mac from anywhere in your house or office. I use it to monitor downloads, check for files on my desktop, as well as shut my computer down from the comfort of my living room. It is easy to set-up and quite affordable when compared to other remote desktop applications in the App Store.
*Update: I learned about this app from @mamante’s post on “VNC and the Mac” at the Apple Learning Interchange.
NPR News
This application is great for accessing some of your favorite NPR shows as well as reading some of the latest headlines…

Shape Builder encourages cognitive thinking and fine motor skills plus exposes young minds to new music instruments, animals, produce, objects and the alphabet in a fun and engaging format with LOTS of sound effects!”
