OKITE [iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad]
If, like some people, you struggle to get out of bed each morning (hey, you’re not a morning person, don’t worry), then you may find this app helpful. A big problem with alarm clocks is the option to snooze, it’s just too easy to hit the snooze button again and again, and with this free app that could be a thing of the past. The app synchronises with your Twitter account and if you hit that snooze button it starts posting random, embarrassing posts on your timeline. So, hopefully, the threat of Twitter mortification will get your sorry ass out of bed.
McSweeney’s [iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad]
This is the free app of the publishing house which was founded by American author Dave Eggers, which publishes a quarterly literary journal too. The app’s been out for a while and features interviews, articles, even interactive art from Scott Snibbe, but just recently they’ve launched an exclusive comic from their sometime guest editor and comic book writer/artist Chris Ware. He wrote Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth, a melancholy graphic novel about a socially awkward guy and his family history. The story for McSweeney’s is called Touch Sensitive, and you can read more about it here. Annoyingly, it’s only available for iPad (at 99 cents or 69p), but hopefully it’ll encourage him to do many more.
