9 Extremely Niche (but Still Useful) Mobile Apps

“Not everything is for everyone, but almost everything is for someone,” Abraham Lincoln once said, probably, and these nine mobile apps prove him right. They each do one specific thing, and most of them will be useful to only one specific kind of person.

Harper Is an Offline Alternative to Grammarly for Obsidian

Image
Obsidian is my favorite productivity tool. I use it for all of my writing, as a journaling app , and to replace multiple productivity tools . There's a big downside, though: no grammar checking tool. Grammarly is the best known grammar checking tool, but there's no way to add it to Obsidian. I also wouldn't enable it even if I could. Grammarly processes text on their own servers, which is a potential privacy issue and also generally inefficient. This is why I've come to love Harper , a free and open-source alternative that runs entirely on your device and can be added to Obsidian in a couple of clicks. Harper isn't just an Obsidian tool—there are also plugins for WordPress, Visual Studio Code, or any developer tool that supports the Language Server Protocol. If you'd like to see Harper in action before installing, there's a live demo on the Harper homepage —just type whatever you want and watch the recommendations. The Harper plugin for Obsidian can easil...

If you’ve ever tried dragging a too-large speaker—or worse, relied on your phone’s tiny audio for sound projection—you should appreciate this sale on the Skullcandy Terrain Mini: It's palm-sized, no-frills, and currently on sale for $34.99 down from $39.99 on StackSocial , with free shipping in the U.S. That price drop isn’t jaw-dropping, but for under $35, you’re looking at a IPX7-rated waterproof speaker that won’t be damaged if it's dropped in the pool this summer. The Skullcandy Terrain Mini has Bluetooth 5.3, so the connection holds steady within a 33-foot range. The battery is said to give you 14 hours of playtime, which should cover most day-long adventures or at least a solid workday playlist without needing a recharge. When it does die, it uses USB-C, which is thankfully included in the box, so you won’t n...

Here's How to Fix the Bug Causing iPhone Notes to Disappear

Image
Halloween might be over, but the scares just keep coming for some iPhone users, who've stumbled across a pretty concerning bug after accepting the updated iCloud Terms and Conditions. Those affected have reported on social media that they've lost all files saved in their Notes app, and for very good reason, they've been looking for answers. If you're like me, the Notes app is an integral part of how you stay organized. It allows me to quickly jot down ideas, keep track of assignments, scan important documents, and, since the iOS 18 update , keep any voice notes in a convenient spot. Because I also use a MacBook Air, I know these files will be waiting for me on my laptop, so I tend to use Notes across all my Apple devices. If my files suddenly disappeared, I would be a disorganized mess. Here's some background: there weren't any significant changes when the iCloud Terms and Conditions were most recently updated on September 16, 2024. According to MacRumors.com...
