It’s been a long while since I’ve put out a post. In the meantime, I’ve been pumping out a couple iPhone and iPad apps. I wanted to share the cool apps we at Shacked made, so here they are. As always, I love comments and suggestions, so feel free to post in the comments below.

The Now

If you’ve ever read books like The Precious Present or The Power of Now, you know that a great way to stay positive in life is to be mindful of the present moment. However, it can become difficult to stay focused when you have all the distractions and stresses of daily life. That’s why we created The Now. It’s an iPhone app that uses push notifications to send you quotes and messages about staying in the moment. We use the time of day to send more meaningful messages. For instance, before lunch, you might get a message to truly savor the taste of your food instead of quickly eating it. We’ve really enjoyed creating it, so please give it a try.

Flickpad

We set out to make an awesome Facebook photo browser for the iPad. And we call it Flickpad. It’s a simple and intuitive way to view friends’ albums, and you’re going to love tossing photos off the screen to discard them. We’ve got a ton of features planned for Flickpad, and we’d really appreciate any of your suggestions too. Just let us know!
