    No, it’s not hard to check the weather, or the news, or look at your calendar. But it is hard to keep track of these things 24/7. That’s where Scarlet comes in: This AI personal assistant notifies you at various times of the day and gives you quick audio updates on the weather, news, your schedule, and more.

    Doo

    To-do lists come in many forms: Miles long, scribbled on napkins, nonexistent. But Doo is a new (and more helpful) version. Download this iOS app to turn your tasks into cards and set due dates for them. The app will notify you to get something done, and you swipe to mark it complete or snooze it for later. That’ll help you actually finish all those tasks.

    A work/life balance is key. So is the balance between working and aimlessly browsing the internet. Tip that balance in the right direction with Escape, a Mac app that monitors your browsing habits to show you how often you’re getting lost in Wikipedia black holes (or other distracting places). Note: Escape currently doesn’t support macOS Sierra, but a fix is forthcoming.
