Thanks Joe for all your help. Having you to consult with makes me think of how those who go to shrinks feel comforted in knowing that if the going gets rough they can always call their 'therapist'.

It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough. That it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing.

Delivery Status

I've been using the Delivery Status widget on my iMac and MacBook Air for years.

It's workflows like this that make the iPhone and iPad pure magic.

Delivery Status was one of the first iPhone (and then iPad) apps. It helps me monitor deliveries of equipment and supplies to clients or to PsiMac and keep track of expected receivables.

On the iPhone and iPad, it will notice that you have a delivery tracking URL on the clipboard upon opening the Delivery Status app, and it will offer to import it as a new delivery to track, even going so far as to detect which delivery service (among the many well-supported services) this particular delivery is using.

The Delivery Status Dashboard widget on the Mac doesn't offer to import the delivery link from the clipboard, but it does recognize the delivery service when pasting the tracking number into the appropriate field.

Due

Due is a wonderfully simple, yet surprisingly effective App for getting things done.

Simply open Due, and set a reminder for a time-sensitive task. Due reminds you via any combination of Sounds, Alerts, and Badges on your iPhone and/or iPad, with built-in reminder syncing via DropBox.

Any time you intend to do something, it must be added to a list. If it needs to be done on a certain timeline, it must be added to Due.

SimpleNote

I use SimpleNote to sync notes between my iPad, iPhone, and iMac.  On my iPad and iPhone, I use the SimpleNote app.  On my Mac, I use Notational Velocity syncing with SimpleNote.

Notational Velocity is configured to come forward when I press a keyboard shortcut (Control-Option-`).

When in Notational Velocity, I can take the warpzone to my Calls list by pressing Command-1.

To-Do is Command-2.

The SimpleNote app always syncs changes among my iMac, iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Air.  It's a practically seamless solution.
