Gretchen Rubin

Timehop: Timehop shows you memories from your photos and social media from one, two, or three years ago. I like it because it reminds me, “Oh, this is where I was,” and then I also often forward them to family members who I think would enjoy them. It's a nice, easy way to stay in touch with very little effort, and it's really fun. 1 Second Everyday: We talked about this app on the Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast. So many people told us that they recommended this app. It's another kind of memory storage bank that pieces together your photos into a video. Shutterfly: I take pictures on my iPhone, and I want to make printed books with them. The Shutterfly app offers a easy way to pick the photos I want to make into books; it's really handy. Flic: Flic makes it easier and quicker to delete photos; it's ever so slightly faster than the Photos app. Curb, Arro: I use Curb and Arro, which are cab hailing apps that let you pay with your phone. I have one account with my business card and one with my personal credit card. That way I don't have to switch payment methods within the app, which is really helpful. Texture: Texture is a paid magazine reading app. You can read your favorite magazine or just kind of poke around and see what you feel interested in. Note: Since Apple owns Texture and recently released its own magazine subscription service Apple News Plus, Texture subscribers can also access their subscription within the Apple News app.
