There’s a reason why smart phones are called “smart” phones: They manage to provide structure in the chaotic world we live in and make our lives a tad bit (translation: a lot) easier. If you’re looking to organize your life via your smart phone, then look no further. Here are the five must-have apps for getting organized, whether it be in the kitchen or saving memories, as shared by House Beautiful.
1. Evernote; This app will help you coordinate the various notes, alarms, to-do lists and calendar events you’ve programmed in your numerous devices. The program centralizes your notes, photos, lists and reminders in to create a cohesive, searchable schedule. An absolute must-have for harmonizing our wired schedules! (Free via evernote.com)
2. Photo Manager Pro; Have over a thousand pictures on your phone? This app organizes your photographs and videos, allowing you to create color-coded custom-named folders. You can even rate each item to find your favorites in the future. ($2.99 via itunes.apple.com)
3. DinnerSpinner from Allrecipes.com; This app is a one-stop shop for all your kitchen needs. You can create a shopping list and check them off, scan grocery items and browse and save dinner recipes.
