Upgrading Your Tech: Apps and Tools that Will Make Your Life Easier and Safer

Life can be difficult at times. And anyone who has lived beyond their childhood years knows this to be a fact. But thankfully, we live in a world today that offers us a variety of helpful tools that we can use to make our lives simpler, more convenient, and safer.

App technology has been around for many years. And while the apps of yesterday are old news, today’s apps have features and options that were once only concepts found within the world of science fiction.

Today’s apps can not only help us to organize our lives and prioritize tasks, but they can also make shopping easier and help to keep us safe, just to name a couple of features. In fact, there are several apps that, without access to, we may find ourselves in harm’s way.

If you’re looking for the best new tech in the form of apps and tools, the following will offer a few details that you may find beneficial.

 

Weather APIs

Weather apps are basically a standard feature on most smartphones, tablets, and laptops. However, these apps only give you general information void of custom readouts that anyone who works among the elements will need to stay weather aware.

Weather APIs are tools that help you to build the perfect weather app to use for any outdoor activity that requires you to keep up with specific weather data.

For example, if you work with any form of earth science where you have to be out in the field, knowing the weather forecast can be life-saving information. Additionally, if you’re a remote mountain guide, or if you work in search and rescue, having a customizable weather app can give you access to data that you’ll need to stay safe.

A few features that a weather app can offer you are as follows:

  • Current conditions
  • Weather alerts
  • Data on significant weather events
  • Water temperature
  • Rainfall totals
  • Barometric pressure
  • Air temperature

With access to real-time weather data while out in the field, you’ll no longer need to rely on guesswork. And this can also help to keep you safe during inclement weather.

 

Personal Safety Apps

Some apps today are built for the sole purpose of keeping you safe in a variety of situations. And no matter what your daily routine consists of, having a way to stay safe all in the palm of your hand can be a huge stress-reliever.

For example, many college students spend a great deal of time walking to and from classes, and some campuses can be quite large. In fact, it’s not uncommon for some college students to develop anxiety while walking home late at night from classes or study groups. But personal safety apps can help.

While features will vary, many personal safety apps such as Kitestring or Life360 offer the option to list safety contacts in a group. With this method, you can send alerts to close friends as to your whereabouts and when you expect to be back home. And in case you don’t respond, the app will send alerts to the appropriate contacts giving them your location.

 

To-Do Apps

If you work in any corporate environment, you probably use a variety of tools to help you keep on track with specific tasks. While project and content management software such as Trello and ClickUp offer great methods for keeping up to date with tasks, apps that you can access on your phone can help you to organize your to-do list in a much more streamlined fashion.

For example, apps such as Wanderlust and Pocket are tools that you can use to organize personal and professional to-do lists, as well as help you to save content in a much more manageable way than post-it notes or a large paper binder.

We all know that sometimes life can get a bit hectic and disorganized at times. But with the help of easy-to-use to-do apps, you can organize all of your daily or weekly itineraries and have access to it right in the palm of your hand. So if you’re a busy professional, instead of relying on that leather-bound day-planner, install a to-do app and you’ll see just how much more productive your life will become.

Keeping up with life and staying safe doesn’t have to be complicated anymore. By taking advantage of modern app technology, you can bring a greater amount of convenience and safety into your life. And you’ll likely see that it will be worth the time to install those apps.
