Diet tracking app 'Calory' now tracks water, subtracts burned calories, more
Zac Hall - 4:01 pm EST

The excellent calorie tracking app ‘Calory’ has a welcome update out with useful new features just in time for the new year. Calory is similar to other apps for logging meals like MyFitnessPal, but with a modern design and deeper platform integration.

Calory works with Dark Mode, Siri Shortcuts, and includes great apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac (my favorite Mac Catalyst app).

The concept is simple. Set your daily calorie goal like 2000, then log your calories throughout the day to try to stay within your goal. Calory works with HealthKit, too, so you can view historical data logged in Apple Health. more…

Comment: A look back at my favorite Apple products as we end another decade
Ben Lovejoy - 11:01 am EST

Ok, the pedants among us will argue that today isn’t the end of the decade – that’s really a year from now – but it seems as good a time as any to look back at my favorite Apple products over the years.

For some of us, of course, Apple products have been part of our lives for far longer than one decade. In my case, the first product to make my list dates back more than three decades…

Bradley Chambers - 9:00 am EST

On Sunday, I published a list of my favorite podcasts of the decade. Podcasts are a huge part of my entertainment "diet," but another one that has become just as big is reading. In 2019, I read 69 books. In a noisy world, reading has become my go-to activity to quiet my brain. For my last post of the decade, I wanted to give you my favorite books of the year. Whether you read on Apple Books, Kindle, Audible, or even paperback, I think you'll enjoy these books. more…

Notchless iPhone with in-screen Touch ID could be top-end 2020 model – report
Ben Lovejoy - 7:35 am EST

Apple has long had the vision of a truly bezel-free iPhone, famously described by Jony Ive as ‘a single slab of glass.’ How long it will take the company to create a notchless iPhone has been the topic of much speculation, but a new report argues that it could be as soon as next year.
