The #1 Resource for Church Technology Creativity & New Thinking
[Editor’s Note: This app is currently only available for iOS.]
I love looking at pictures of cool stuff. Who doesn’t? If I had the time to write more fiction—currently, I put out zero words a month—I’d be writing sci-fi, and one of best things for me to get inspired is to look at cool, retro designs. To that end, I just recently found this cool app put out by the Design Museum.
Can you remember the last time you could really see the stars?
For me, It was about 5 years ago when I went to a Christian conference in the middle of nowhere and when you looked up, you could see thousands upon thousands of stars. Growing up in London it is rare to be able to see more than a handful of stars due to both the light pollution and abundance of clouds. As such, I never really managed to learn which constellations were which or really appreciate the glories of the heaven.
However, there is a cool set of apps which can help you learn more about the night sky and the stars hidden from your view. Let me introduce Star Chart.
What does your creative space sound like?
It turns out that coffee shops are known for being a great place for productivity, not because of the caffeine, but because of the noise levels. When I first started working from home, I thought that some sort of silence or quiet was the ideal volume.
I was wrong.
Over time, experience, and even science, I’ve learned the importance of having background noise.
That’s why I love this cool web app, Noisli:

Browsing the Internet for countless hours looking for worship backgrounds can be quite time-consuming.
But Shift Worship has created a new way of going about this, with a new twist specific to your church.

This awesome free app can turn your iOS device into a monitoring camera!
I love some of these apps that are being developed to use old iPhones, iPads and iPods to extend functionality. Manything an be used for multiple things—the most obvious being used as a security camera. It features live streaming, motion activated alerts and free cloud video recording.
You can even monitor and watch on the go.

One thing I’ve found to keep myself at peace and not overwhelmed, is creating to-do lists. Even daily tasks I wouldn’t normally need to think about are pinned to my to-do list.
I use different apps for different task sets, so sometimes I use Asana or Trello, depending on the demand and the workflow.
But what about personal tasks and reminders? Like when was the last time you changed the furnace filter? Or added air to the tires? How about cleaning the dust out of your computer tower? There’s a lot of little things like this that can get lost in the shuffled. That’s where Upkeep comes in.
