Recollect - Beautiful music recommendations

Very interesting app. It’s free.

Simply choose a song, write a brief recommendation and tweet it. Recollect creates an attractive web page to display your recommendation and allows your followers to preview the song.

Coda 2

Plus an iPad version of Coda:

Diet Coda takes everything we’ve ever learned about world-class web code editing, and wraps it up to-go. It’s packed with features, bathed in fun, ready to work.

To be clear, I haven’t found anything that interests me in the new version, so I’m gonna stick with my Espresso 2.

5by5 Radio

Wow, I wasn’t aware of that there was an official 5by5 Radio application.

But for what it’s worth, I still recommend Instacast for any kind of podcasts.

Habit List

Habit List is a pretty convenient app that helps you to create good habits and break unhealthy ones. It’s kinda like the Repeat Taks in GTD software, but in a simple and elegant way.

I’ve been using it for 3 days, it reminds me to take vitamin pills and go to sleep before 2:00, very helpful.

Post a design to Dribbble with Screens

Another great new feature of xScope, updated today.

When uploading a shot to Dribbble, it can sometimes be difficult to get it just right. But with xScope, sharing your work is a breeze:

  • Open xScope Preferences and enable the Dribbble configuration in the Screens pane.

  • Open the Screens tool

  • Select the Dribbble Upload preset from the tool’s dropdown menu

  • Position the screens tool over the part of your design that you want to upload to Dribble

  • Press the camera button to capture the image (by default the screenshot is copied to the clipboard, but you can change to a file in the General preferences pane)

  • Upload your saved image to Dribbble, knowing exactly how it will look on the site

Here are some of it’s features:

It’s pretty fascinating especially the free development server part. You can sign up for the free beta now.

7 Days with Sketch 2

Great review by The Industry:

In conclusion, Sketch 2 feels to me like it is Photoshop, trimmed down to suit the very needs of us designers — the very same ones who only use the layer styles window and the vector shape tools in Photoshop. Sketch 2 is an app designed by the people it was designed for _ designers. Both with purpose and cleverness in mind at a fraction of the cost.
