Is there an app (or native way in IOS or OSX) for me to take still iphone pics and just have kind of a time lapse looping animated gif thing?

Every app I try is free but you can't do poo poo without paying before I can even tell how well it will work, etc...

Hyperlapse?

I mean it spits out a video but does everything what you described.

Unless I’m missing something, that won’t work. The pictures are already taken and in my photo album.

My kid loves color by number apps, but they're all riddled with ads that require insanely expensive subscriptions to make usable.

Does anyone know of a color by number/pixel art app that doesn't have ads and is a one-time purchase of <= $10?

I do this technique called a suplex. You probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.
I just switched over to iPhone from Android. On Android I used the Frost browser, which would keep a password protected vault of bookmarks and tabs and lock up the vault if you clicked out of the app. Basically a private browser with an extra vault feature. Anything along the lines out there for the iPhone?

I have meetings a lot these days and I basic manage reminding myself about them by leaving alarms through Reminders set 15 minutes before.

It seems long to have reminders titled “X Meeting with Y Person @ Z PM”

Is there an app that lets me set reminders for events fifteen minutes or so before and then send maybe another reminder every five minutes up until it actually starts?

Fantastical seems to do that without me asking (reminds me of my calendar events at 15 mins before, 10 mins and 5.)

It does, but only if the meeting organizer set an alarm in the invite. At least for meetings from Outlook/Exchange.

One thing I really like about Fantastical is even if you don’t RSVP it still kicks off the reminder. I’m not always working email, so it’s nice to be reminded of a meeting I really should attend if I haven’t had a chance to see the invite.

I just started using a VNC/RDP client called “Jump” and it’s great. It’s far smoother and performs better than MS default client for RDP. I don’t know about smaller size screens, but it looks great on a 12.9” iPad Pro. Controlling the mouse is easy and intuitive, and it has little hideaway bar for special keyboard keys.

It’s not free, but personally I think it’s a steal at $15.

With a combination of different apps (mostly the MS stuff), I’ve been able to move a lot of my workflow to the iPad. Which is nice since it means I don’t have to lug around the laptop everywhere.

My next step is to migrate my CPU bound stuff to a Digital Ocean or AWS instance so I can do that from the iPad if needed. There’s a few other tools that would be nice as well. Anyone have any recommendations for an app to view pcap files?

Is there a way to convert a list from Reminders to plain text? Been using the stock app to build a list of texts for a research project and it’d be rather handy to have it available as something I can copy into an email.

You can just drag them out of the reminders app on a Mac but I don’t know if there’s any way using just an iPhone. Check out ifttt?

So say you rip an audiobook from a library. If you want to get it on your phone for listening but don’t want to:
1. Use iTunes to put it into iBooks or Audible. Or,
2. Serve it as a podcast to a podcast app.

What are your options? I’ve tried airdropping the book to Files but it seems like only one app (bookmobile) lets you copy from Files to the app for listening.

I don't do audiobooks but I wouldn't be surprised if some of them supported listening to audiobooks stored in a cloud service (dropbox, google drive, iCloud, etc). Only one lets you copy locally from a cloud service?

Use Libby if your library uses Overdrive.

The problem is that my friend wants ones that are only on CD, she uses overdrive for the digital audiobooks all the time (and is somehow happy with it). I don’t know how to describe the series of alternatives and solutions that I’ve tried and have been found wanting. The transfer from computer to iCloud Drive to Bookmobile seems to be the best option in this case, though I think I’ll just get her hosting a podcast using Justcast and using Overcast for listening because Overcast is way better than Bookmobile and the workflow won’t eat into iCloud storage.

Anyone using Outlook having authentication problems with gmail accounts recently? Mine keeps prompting to re-authenticate, which I do successfully, but then it will eventually prompt again at some point in the future.

Just trying to figure out if I'm lucky or Microsoft/Google broke something.

EDIT: Well, Outlook in-app support got back to me super quick, apparently this is a known issue that they're trying to figure out.

The app was inspired by a conversation I had with some co-workers when we discovered the “Die With Me” app. After getting past the “Why dies this app exist” comments we had an impromptu brain storming session.
The outcome of that conversation was a battery level based chat app where there would be 101 chat rooms, one for each percentage of battery power a user could have, and an extra room for devices on a charger. Users would be placed in a room (mostly) outside of their control and would bounce from room to room as their battery power ticked down participating in a series of random conversations with strangers.

While developing the app I went ahead and took care of some of the issues I saw users of “Die with Me” complain about. Namely, chats are separated by language, abusive behavior can be reported, and the app is functional no matter what state your phone battery is in.

The app is free, so check it out if it strikes your fancy. Feedback is appreciated and encouraged, even if the feedback is “Boy what a silly idea.”

Fair warning, it's only been live a couple of days, and while I've had positive feedback so far, the chatrooms are a little slow right now. I'm working on gaining a larger user base to take care of that problem.
