1. Anti Mosquito – Repel Mosquitos with Your Phone |
|
Summer brings with it mosquitos, which means itchy bites. But instead of using chemicals or zappers, you can just install an app on your phone. These apps use high-frequency sounds that the human ear can’t pick up, but mosquitos can’t stand. For maximum effect, hook up the smartphone to loudspeakers. Download for iOS |

2. Aqualert – Stay Hydrated |
|
In our daily routine, it’s easy to forget to drink, and water is vital for our wellbeing. By using Aqualert you’ll have a helpful sidekick that will remind you to sip on some water by sending alerts to your phone throughout the day. It’s particularly helpful during hikes and prolonged exposure to the sun (at the beach, for example). You can install it on your kids’ phones and keep track of how much water they drink. |
