There are 20+ alarm sounds to choose from and you can even share reminders with friends.

eMailGanizer

eMailGanizer
eMailGanizer is not just an email client, it’s an advanced email filing system which lets you quickly organize your messages. You can file emails into folders and even add them to your to-do lists (Toodledo, Things, OmniFocus, Firetask, Appigo) or the iOS calendar.  It uses “sophisticated technology that learns your prior filing behavior so that it can present you with the folders most relevant to the email being filed.”

Shopping List Free

There are 12 different backgrounds to choose from.

Schedule Planner

Schedule Planner
It’s hard to believe that an app like Schedule Planner is free. It lets you plan your daily tasks (manually or from pre-existing plans) and organize them into color-coded categories. “Once the category is selected users simply input the specific nature of each time block, including when each task should be started and its overall duration.” This allows you to better keep track of your productivity and see what you’re actually doing compared to what you had planned.

Alarmed

Cozi Family Organizer

Cozy Family Organizer
The title says it all, Cozi is a family organizer that includes a calendar, shopping lists, to-do lists and journal. Each family member has their own calendar and to-do list that you can keep up with, but you can also track family events and tasks as well. The app syncs flawlessly with the web version.

ScatterBrain

There’s also a very useful backup and restore feature. Best of all, there are no ads taking up space on your screen.

AudioNote Lite

AudioNote Lite
Sometimes it’s just easier to record notes by voice as opposed to typing them on your mobile device and that’s what AudioNote Lite lets you do. Each note creates a link that points directly to the spot where it recorded, so there’s no need to search through an entire recording. It also has a pen mode so that you can draw and handwrite notes. With the lite version, there is a limitation of 10 minutes per audio and 2 hours total.

GooCal

GooCal
GooCal is an easy way to sync and manage your Google Calendar. It even supports multiple accounts so you can add more than one calendar if needed. You can also search within your events to find what you need. Best of all, it works offline so no Internet connection is needed.

SimpleMind+

SimpleNote
If you’re a fan of mind mapping, then you’ll live SimpleMind+. It’s a great way to brainstorm and organize your thoughts and ideas. The free version is limited, yet still offers great functionality like drag and drop organization, undo/redo, cut/copy/paste, style customization (colors, borders, lines), and syncing with the desktop version (Windows and Mac).

Join.me

Join me
Finally we have Join.me, an awesome app that lets you attend meetings and VoIP audio conferences right on your mobile device. It’s great for mobile screen sharing and collaboration in real-time with others who are using the iOS app or web version. You can also chat with other participants. You will, of course, need to be connected to the Internet in order join meetings.
