Datally: Clean and Modern Interface

[APP] Google have a new app and it does what your Android phone already can do; help you monitor your mobile data usage and save some more.

It sounds like a trial proposition from Google because Android Nougat phones already support "Data Saver" function, allowing to choose which apps are on saver mode, ie. Does not consume data while running in the background. This function already made significant savings for me.

[SOFTWARE] If you are suffering eye fatigue from too much time on mobile and computers, f.lux is what is missing in your lifestyle and it is FREE!

Take from their official website; "f.lux fixes this: it makes the colour of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day."



According to researchers, using computers or mobile devices at night will delay your sleep time to a good extent. Blue light emitted by screens is the reason behind that symptom. Blue light seemed to trick our body to think it's still daytime by suppressing something call melatonin which causes insomnia.







Of course, even without all these science and logic, you probably already knew that much of computer usage affects your sleeping hours.

I have had f.lux on my Macbook for months now, I can say that it really works as advertised, psychologically or not! This free tool is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it’s most often used on laptops and desktops.
